Although not my favorite of their three offerings (just a personal preference), it's still smooth, nutty, well balanced and worth trying.

Picked up a bottle while in the Bahamas. It's okay, a little rubbing alcohol taste to it. But works as a mixer.

Has a sweet flavor as a nice summer mixer and sipping on the rocks when looking for a smooth light taste.

Traveling to Staniel Cay just for lunch was too rough to fish. Stumbled on John Whatling and remembered we had crossed paths before. Starts with a heavy classic pirate days like bottle. Opens to a funky hi ester Jamaican like rum. Unique rich flavor I donโ€™t hate but donโ€™t love. Stays with you maybe a bit too long. Left on the boat for my buddies to enjoy.

I'll say up front that I used this for mixing in an Old-Fashioned with a dash of simple syrup, splash of water, 4-5 shakes of orange bitters, and a muddled orange slice. Vanilla and oak notes blended well for an enjoyable cocktail, so better than average. I can't speak to how it would be for sipping.

Tasted this rum at The Distillery in December of 2019, and bought a bottle to bring home. This was one of my favorite sippers

Nice rum with a smooth start and nice finish. Nice hint of vanilla. I love small batch rum and this is a nice one.

Bought a bottle of Watlings amber rum on my last trip through the Bahamas.It's a very smooth blended rum,probably the best Bahamian branded rum,but due to its maturation in once used whiskey barrels,tastes more like whiskey than rum.I would not buy it again.

I picked up a bottle of Watling's Amber in Nassau recently after touring the distillery. Aroma is heavy on alcohol with some oak, citrus and maybe honey peeking through. Taste is also a little heavy on alcohol, but is fairly smooth with some oaky notes coming through. Burn is noticeable, but not offensively so. Not what I would look for as a sipper, but does make an excellent Piรฑa Colada and is good mixed with cola or juice.

This is the same train wreak as the Pale rum. What makes this worse is they actually wasted a barrel by putting fuel grade rum into it.
