Top notch Demerara sipper, drier than El Dorado 12 but with more character-chocolate, smokey molasses and baking spices. I am definitely biased as my favorite rums are Demerara, followed by Jamaican.

I wasn't expecting much as this rum very much plays second fiddle to the 151 in this brand but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this offering.

Deep dark chocolate notes followed by molasses a little bit of spice. Reminds me of chilly spiked dark chocolate. Not noticeably harsh in any way, I could get used to this as a desert rum.

The bottle was reasonably priced at 27 Canadian and I expect it will be a fairly permeant fixture on my shelf.

This be a decent dark rum. She smells sweet of burned sugar, spices, raisin (of all things), a wee bit of oak, and unless I be mistook, a hint of cocoa. The smells carry over into the taste, and I want to say there be prunes on board as well. Reminds me of my nights with a good bottle of Buckfast. She's not as sweet as she smells, but she's smooth and has a mild burn goin' down the hatch. This rum be gettin' poor reviews, but those be from dainty landlubbers, not rum-drinkin' pirates. Pay them no heed! arrrgh!!!

Tried this rum neat for the first time. It has a pleasant flavour and a nice aftertaste. While not as smooth as my go to Goslings Black Seal, I will enjoy this bottle. If it is good enough for the British Navy it is good enough for me. Cheers!

40% ABV. N: Strong coffee, caramel, and chocolate. Butter, but that might be the hot buttered rum ordered next to me... Nah, definitely buttery toffee. P: A but thin. Not as much flavor as the nose. The caramel's still there, but it's watery. With time, gets even more buttery. Where's the earth? Where's the smoke? Short finish.

Easy to drink, but over-diluted. Recommendation: Get the Hamilton 86 (or El Dorado 5, 8) instead.

7, 7-

Clean, crisp and rich caramelly goodness. Like a less syrupy sweet version of old Sam, only more expensive.

Smooth as smooth can get. Thou I didn’t get a ton of flavor notes but smoothness accounts for something

This is a great rum for tiki drinks and tropical rum cocktails! An old classic...but not as great as the 151...not as much of a sipper as it`s a mixing rum.

On the dry side with little fruity, baking spice or floral notes to sweeten it up. Has some dryer notes like leather, tobacco, wood and earthy tones. Makes for a decent mixer but not very good as a sipper. Can't find this too often but if you do pick up a bottle for your rum collection.
