This is a good rum. Sweet, and smooth. Nice flavors, a fair amount of wood, lightly smoky, hints to chocolate, toffee, carmel, vanilla. Almost no burn. I really like this one, a good and easy sipper, though perhaps a bit too sweet for me. I'd like to try mixing this with something a lot less sweet to maybe find a really nice balance. I do recommend trying it.
One of my favorite everyday rum.
I could drink it for breakfast.

This one is readily available, and tasty, if not very complex

One of the simplest and easiest rums to get started!
It is a beautiful sipping rum before or after meals. Not a whisky taste as much as others but that’s what I love about it!
Just simply great. Smooth and great value. Must have

Heavy, reasonably sweet, and overall well done, but for the price ($35-40), I would go other directions.

Like liquid velvet smooth and dark. Sweet molasses with a little Carmel. It's the only rum I buy now.

Not sure my opinion counts for much, but this was the first proper rum I've bought (i.e. not Bacardi or Captain Morgan) to drink straight. I have never really drank spirits unmixed before, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to drink.

This rum was unbelievably great for sipping. I was fearful that it would be a bit too sweet after reading a few reviews and giving it a smell, but it ended up being extremely well balanced and smooth all the way through. There are rich sweet caramel/molasses aromas followed quickly by oak and smoky notes. The taste is very similar to the smell with sweet caramel at first, hints of vanilla, and then small oak notes. It is very smooth all the way through with no harshness whatsoever. This is like a desert, but not too sweet. One of my new absolute favorites.
