I have held out on trying this stuff for years. Anyhow, I missed out, very good rum, well balanced and has a nice start to finish. Very surprised and now a fan.

I’m sure it’s a really good rum, but it’s far too whiskey-esque for me. I prefer a sweeter, smoother rum than this one

look/appearance is much lighter than most rims, very light, appears like scotch. Taste/finish is almost exactly like a highland scotch, malty, slightly Smokey without being peaty. Slight alcohol burn on the end. Honestly, would think this is a Scotch if tastes blind. I can’t rate this objectively as a rum, but 88+.

Tried batch 2, expected very dry stuff, but is was more to my taste with the molasses flavor playing bigger part.

Pleasant amber rum, soft with aromas of wood, citrus, cognac and vanilla. The taste is sober, but good, nothing extraordinary.
Agradable Ron de color ámbar, suave con aromas de madera, cÃtricos, coñac y vainilla. El sabor es sobrio, pero bueno, nada extraordinario.

Strong nose, a deep oakey taste, only slightly sweet (no added sugar), and a dry aftertaste. Nice Stuff

I am referring to batch no 4: nice bottle, amber colour; this is a complex and flavorful rum; for the aging process bourbon and whisky barrels have been used with a dominant proportion of whisky barrels for batch no 4. This can be easily recognized when tasting this rum. Tropical fruits and spice dominate the taste together with that hint of whisky-dryness. Very nice, fruity and long lasting aftertaste. From my view a very special rum. According to producer information no artificial coloring is used and the rum is not chill filtered which is very much appreciated.

Very nice, smooth and tasty rum. Similar to cognac taste, I definitely recommend this rum.

This is a lovely rum full of fruity and slightly spicy flavour, very nice to sip on its own or with a mixer

According to the label this is Single Estate Mauritian rum. Since geography was never my strong suit I have to look up where Mauritius is. It turns out to be an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 1200 miles off the African coast. From some of the photos I've seen, it looks like a wonderful place to take a vacation. Now if I could only win a big lottery.
But I digress...
I have to say from the outset that I find this rum delightful. It has a beautiful light amber hue and has an equally wonderful aroma. Swirling it in my snifter reveals excellent legs. My bottle is from Batch #1. I've seen Batch #4 reviewed online. I haven't a clue as to how they all differ. I'd love to find out. Maybe they'd send me some to compare? Oh well...one can dream.
Once again I digress...
There is an oiliness to it that keeps in on the tongue long enough to enjoy the flavors. There is a distinct vanilla/caramel combination along with an oak buzz from the barrels in which the rum is aged. There's a slight pepperiness as well. Although it is 88.2 proof (44.1% ABV) there really isn't much of a burn. Rather there is an appreciative warmth in the back of the throat which lingers a bit before fading. It is quite smooth with just an appreciable tad of sweetness. I personally do not detect any sweetening with this rum. This is an excellent sipping rum and I recommend it.
