If this is the best that your store has, you'll be ok buying this, but there are many much better rums out there. Too much burn and oakiness to realize any other flavors.

This rum is way too sweet for my tastes. Not something I would buy again.

One of the sweeter rums that I own, very smooth and tastes great with Pepsi or coke. Great value if you buy at Costco

Vanilla is in the forefront. Tasty, but there isn't much behind it. It is certainly drinkable and slightly pleasant. I agree with an earlier reviewer that this used to be MUCH better. The move away from Guatemala has rendered this a truly "vanilla" rum. Just like the ice cream.....sort of plain and ok if there isn't anything else available.

I don't know what it is about this rum, it has notes of caramel and vanilla but when drunk straight, it feels like I'm being punched in the face by a bottle of vanilla extract

I may try to mix it with a flavored cola at some point, but I'm definitely not buying a bottle any time soon

Skvělý na dlouhé večerní popíjení. Nejvíce mě v chuti utkvěl dub a vanilka. Navíc jsem nezaznamenal ani náznak lihové ostrosti a je krásně jemný. Jeden z nejlepších sladších rumů, které jsem měl možnost testovat! Doporučuji vyzkoušet!

Good on ice if you like a nice sweet rum. Worth the price.

A lot of people like this one so I bought it with a lot of expectation. Nope. Even mixed I could barely swallow. Got to try them all. Right?

This is a thin, watery, sweetened vanilla bomb that's overpriced at 30 dollars. I'm not sure how much of the flavor is authentic to the 12 rums blended in this stuff 'cause it's pretty clearly been doctored with added sugar and flavorings.

I drink this neat and on the rocks. On the rocks with a slice of pineapple, and again with a stalk of sugar cane.
Not bad but not my first choice. It will work in a pinch.

Smooth and sweet but not overpowering. Heavy vanilla tones. Great with a medium to full-bodied cigar.
