Bought this on a vacation where it was the best rum in the local store.
It was ok for mixing but I wouldn't buy it again.

I would have put easily a 6.5 but the app does not include 0.5 marks.
This rum is really good to drink with juice and can be drunk neat too. Good ratio quality / price.

Enjoyable rum. I mainly use it to mix but could easily drink a glass pure and still enjoy it well enough.

This rum is classic for mixing, but the alcohol is strongly felt. 7 year old version is much better

Va bene per un cuba libre e per qualche shottino, meglio del 7

It's a bit boring and uncharacteristic, but not in a bad way. Does not have any strong smell or taste, but is fantastic in both a Cuba Libre and Dark N' Stormy. It'd abit sweet by itself. This is maybe one I will keep in the fridge for cocktails, and not on the shelf.

So I was at Gatwick airport wanting to buy some rum and there was absolutely nothing of interest. The only thing I could think of buying was this rum so I looked at the rating here and bought a bottle. It was crazy cheap at £17 a litre bottle. Much to my surprise I'm sitting here in Greece and really enjoying it. It's a superb rum and coke, I also don't mind it straight - the brown sugar and citrus notes are really appealing. Fabulous value for money, it's a good honest rum for my money; I wouldn't hesitate to buy again. I'm now wondering what else I might try in this range as it has piqued my interest.

Tasted thanks to the Big Kahuna who shared his bottle with me. Rich dark gold in color. Signature earthy aroma of this distiller. Unlike any of the other HC offerings in that this has a fiercely intensive Cuban rum up front flavor with a quick dry patching finish. Woody astringency without the needles. Very innovative.

As a sipper it gives a weird impression of being a higher ABV. Maybe because of the taste - tropical fruits fermented in dirty socks.
Passes as a mixer.
