This is a sugary liqueur, not a rum. That said, it is not unpleasant with banana and caramel being the dominant flavours. It is smooth, if teeth-curlingly sweet, and has a syrupy feel in the mouth.
Not a sipper for me, needs ice as a very minimum to tone it down. Would make an interesting ingredient in banana themed cocktails though.

Started with scent of banana cocoa and caramel. Sipped over ice and went down smooth. Lingering taste of bananas.

This rum is a very good choice for a summer afternoon. Banana flavour with smooth caramel. Very good rum for the money!

I rate all my rums on the money spend and the bang for your buck. This one was $35 and it was well worth it. Back sweetened, Yip, flavor played with a bit, Yip. If you are a Rum purest then stay away, to an extent I am a purest however this one goes outside the box and I like it. Rum to me is all about taste and this one is very nice. Lots of Banana, fruits and vanilla. The best Rum and coke i have ever had. Neat is also good and tasty.. Get your self a bottle and have fun with it..

Smells like bananas and caramel apple to me. Not the smoothest, but very nice. The bottle is what sold the rum.

Reminds me of a banana flavoured cough syrup, nice at first few sips, then it becomes too much. Wife liked it more...

I won this as part of a competition and thanks to that I have found one of my new favourite rums. Brilliant after a long day with ice, wee splash of ginger beer and rum

Very smooth and easy to drink straight. Wonderful banana bread smell and caramel taste!
