This is hard to score because there are many rum drinkers who will rightly love this and others, like me, who find it not quite their favourite style. It's certainly very well-crafted and a succesful rum for what it does. There may well be, understandably, some polarising of views on it here.
I am not a fan of whisky and only fractionally more so of bourbon. I find them both quite harsh (the cheaper ones like paint-stripper) and I don't much care for being hit over the head with too much oak, smoke, earthiness or burn. However, even on the first sip this is not too bad, and as I've drank it more, I've started to like it more. It is certainly complex and strong in aroma, taste and aftertaste. I much prefer it to all the whiskies I've tried. Plantation Guyana and Appletons 12 are also a bit like whisky, but not as good as this - this has more layers and nuance. You can not only taste the oak and the bourbon, but you can taste the rum, the charred barrel, the molasses and whole lot more.
I like it more every time I try it, and although it will never quite join my favourite sippers due to that underlying whiskyishness, I like to have a bottle of it in the house for a change in tone.
I also offer it to friends who like whisky or bourbon.
If I loved whisky I'd give this a 9 or 10. As it is, it's a 8 for me: it's not the rumiest rum, but it is really good and an occasional joy.
