Not great but not too bad either. Smooth but without real character, smoke notes and a bitter aftertaste. Used in a cocktail it works out fine but gives it a bit of a strange note. Iยดd always prefer a Wood`s or a Lemon Hart to this one. Best in a Dark and Stormy with lime and Ginger beer...

This one was a bit odd but it is a demerera rum.Haven't drunk many demerera rums but I thought this one was quite ok. Demerera is not at all like the other types of rum. Think you should try it.

I didnโ€™t think I was going to like it. Nice molasses smell. Wonderful dark color. Enjoyed the flavor, less molasses than odor would have suggested. A bit strong with the after burn. Mixed nice with coke. Wish it didnโ€™t have a screw top. 5.5 - 6 on my scale.

Easy drinking rum in which the molasses come through strong. Enjoyed straight or with coke.

Wonderful darkly sweet molasses flavor ends with a nice finish

Favorite mixer and very smooth straight

This rum has a distinct molasses taste and packs a nice punch. The latest addition to the shelf for dark mixers.

Skipper rum has a really nice deep dark red colour, and a pleasantly sweet (with a little alcohol) smell. This rum starts with a heavy molasses taste, followed by a sweet treacle flavour. Simple yet enjoyable. Unlike some dark Navy style rums, Skipper mixes easily with Cola or Ginger Beer, making for a nice light (er than expected) drink.

Nose is straight up Demerara and molasses, sweet and slightly burnt. Taste is sweet with a burnt note again, lots of Demerara, maybe a hint of muscovado. Bit of alcohol burn. Long lasting Demerara finish. Rated it 6 on initial impression but it grew on me

For the money you can't go wrong more of a mixer but can drink straight

Not bad, dark and in the style of a navy rum, mixed with coke, molasses taste, slight afterburn, on a par with Lambs, Captain Morgan Dark etc.

A nice smell of molasses, dark chocolate and coffee, quite aromatic. The taste is spicy, chocolate, oily with a light alcoholic burn. The medium long finish is at first sweet, then it gets more bitter.
