when you base rum quality with Bacardi as standard, it just shows that you would drink anything with three letters on the label. but if you base all other rums with this one, it will make you seem like a very well versed rum taster.

the quality of the liquid itself speaks for itself. great flavor and character. if you want a great sipping rum in your cabinet, this should belong at top tier selection. toss out those mediocre rums and make this your standard rum of choice stat!

I chose this as one of my random treats. By far the favourite for me. Good and smooth.

I normally don't really care about the quality for the money comparisson. But this is one i have to mention. Its a great sipping rum and for that price it's a serious winner. Sweet, vanilla with a great smell. After the sip it has a little punch, which is great. You cant go wrong with this one.

Has a very sweet taste as most mention, which I don't mind but this is not my favorite. Not a bad rum but was a bit let down considering for the price point you can get much better.

Not great by itself, but the best mixer I’ve found yet. The sweetness works well with anything you’d want to use. Great in a Cuba Libre...
