You're gonna need to let her breathe first. I let it sit for 5 min and that wasn't enough I might update this later. Yeah it's harsh at first lots of vanilla oak raisin taste. The smokey is just perfect. Honestly can't take this one straight and maybe why I will follow up with more breathing time. In coke it is perfect. Literally the ideal rum and coke. Not a very complex rum by any means but it posses a long taste. I would enjoy this rum more if it was cheaper. But o wait it is if you enjoying it in a rum and coke. Literally it makes an almost identical rum and coke to pussers blue label. So if you're enjoying it that way switch to pussers blue and save yourself about 35$. Still a very good rum but unless you're some super taster blah blah save yourself the money.

This was in my advent calendar and was the first one I absolutely loved. Really smooth, will be getting a bottle ASAP.

Disappointing considering what I paid for it, but a good enough rum nonetheless.

Coffee, chocolate, caramel and chili on the nose.
Maple syrup, coffee, cocoa and dill on the palate.

The first things that struck me was the colour, which is dark mahogany. There is little on the nose compared to most rums. I got a hint of pepper and very faint molasses.
On the tongue, I found it a little disappointing. It's not a bad rum for sure - better than average, actually - but given some of what I have read and that this is their best regular rum, I was expecting more. On the tongue, I did not find much complexity. I got mainly wood and the a stronger alcoholic warmth than usual. There is a little tobacco in there too. It's quite dry, but also very warm. - which I found was the main aftertaste.

Na tento rum jsem se těšil poměrně dlouho a mile mne překvapil. Po nalití do skleničky zaujme je dosti tmavá barva. Vůně se mi dnes nedaří rozeznávat, ale cítím v něm něco jako dřevo višně a sudu po červeném víně. V chuti ji cítím také. Případně něco hodně podobného. Další rum co mi bude chutnat i nadále.

Has that coke nose similar to diplomatico, but a bit bitter taste and rough finish

First, my nose and palate can’t sense all of the nuances some others can. That being said, I enjoyed this. After it sat in the glass for a bit, it had a nice smell that reminds me of maple syrup, similar to some other rums I really like. It had a pleasant taste, not too sweet, not too sharp. I had a wonderful after taste of oak. It went surprisingly well with my snack of salami, aged cheddar, and garlic stuffed olives on the deck.

Luktar helt fantastiskt, smak av framförallt plommon, blir trevligate och trevligare ju fler gånger jag dricker den,. Väldigt annorlunda
