Some reviews state that sugar was added or artificial sweeteners. Not quite sure how this rum has high alcohol to the nose with a strong bitter burnt taste. I specifically bought this in hopes of finding a "Sweet Rum". No go for me.

Bedre rom fås ikke til pengene...
Der skal altid være sådan en i mit barskab.
Fantastic value for money , will always be a favorite !
Kan sagtens drikkes rent, men er dog også ganske forrygende til en rom og cola. Vinder af mange priser. El Dorado er når rom er bedst.
Blev bla. Drukket af den Engelske flåde helt tilbage i 1800 tallet
En udemærket rom

This was the first rum I got for the purpose of drinking it straight.
It is a rum that always will be in my collection.
I still enjoy et straight but also in drinks, coffee and hot chocolate.
It's a great all round rum and a great starter rum.

En af mine første rom. Den var knap så sød som forventet. Udmærket til prisen.
Mmm

I can smell hints of vanilla and raisins above my glass and also another minor flavour I am not able to identify quite clearly. The taste is very smooth and offers balance between oaky impression of aged rum and somewhat fresher note reminding me of Saint James Royal Ambre or other solid younger rums, but I am not saying it is an agricole. Quite sweet but nothing drastic, finish is warm and quite long, there is just ever so slight alcohol aftertaste which appeared like once, other than that perfect experience. Haven't even considered the price yet.
Btw this is incredible for Cuba libre as the cocktail smells like honeybees wax in a pleasant manner :D
