A Very Nice Dark Spiced Rum, better than my favorite Jonas Curse. I like many of the comments about the βageβ question. That is, is this rum really aged for 23 years? To me, it does not taste like many of the fine, aged rums I have tried. The rum is nicely bottled but I do not wish to pay for fancy packaging and this rum is not a good value. If given the choice, I will most likely try something else in the future.

Not what I expected, but not as other wrote, I think iI gonna like it. It is a single cask Rum and therefore very special. Numbered bottle (mine is 106/257 VRS3) and probably collector items.

It is a rum with a special taste, I can't fine out if I like it or not.
Dark, dark amber in the bottle. Darker than any extra aged rum or bourbon I've experienced. A lot of anise/black licorice on the nose with almost a medicinal tar or asphalt as well. Will have to visit again. Hard to really pinpoint but something is very much "off". The unpleasantness follows through onto the pallet and finish. Think Beemans gum that fell onto fresh paved asphalt. Purchased at the recommendation of the spirit steward at Total Wine. Going to see they'll exchange or at least taste to see if this particular barrel (it is a single barrel rum) was off. Initial tasting out of a Glencairn glass, neat, and let rest for 15 min before tasting.

This came highly recommended by the nice young lady at Total Wine. I had never heard of it, and figured we'd give it a try. Poured neat, it has a light bouquet of fruity tootsie rolls. It as a thin mouth-feel, and tastes like it would be the aged upgrade of the cheap rum that you might get at a hotel's free happy hour. Not anything like the sipper I expected from the recommendation or reading the bottle.
