40% ABV (there is a 45% version in the US). Nice warm nose. Lots of caramel and vanilla. Tastes exactly how you might expect. Rich, with that chocolate chip cookie dough character. Slightly bitter finish (molasses?). Easy drinking. Would make for a great mixer.

Looking forward to trying the 45%...

7-, 6+

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 didn’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 didn’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.

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.
