Motu Gold

This rum has won awards. In fact, one year it finished second to, Ron Zacapa in a taste test beating out the likes of top rums such as Vizcaya! That's saying something!
With a price tag around $22-$27, this makes a fine addition to anyone's rum collection or top shelf rum, in my opinion. The unfortunate thing is that this rum is not easy to come by. I have seen this in one liquor store in all the years I have been collecting rum! This heeds the advice that good thing do come to those who wait...
This is a smooth flavorful and complex rum with no funky flavor, no ethanol burn or harshness going down or to offset the palate.
Nicely packaged that beholds a luxurious rum inside...

It is smooth with a slight heat in the front or back depending.. it's sweet and inviting like zacapa some say I have yet to try zacapa but it is honey sweet. I am thinking about mixing it but as a sipper it's not the most complex but it gives way to an interesting and inviting tastes. I might have paid 5$ to much but never know unless you try.. it's a Puerto Rican rum so there are similar tastes to the island. I would add it to your collection as a daily sipper if you see it or on the fence.

Don't go by "weird" bottle with label coming off. Lighter color but unique and sophisticated especially considering the price. Will definitely buy again.

This rum is aged in cognac barrels I believe in California. The distillate is from Puerto Rico and said to be made from sugar cane from Hawaii. You really get this cognac flavor on this one with lots of spice. Worth trying.
