Just got a bottle in the grand caymans while on vacation. This now replaces cruzan single barrel as my favorite rum. Super smooth.

Smell is heavy, dark rum, hints of alcohol and caramel. Nothing interesting here. The taste is sweet-ish, with immediate alcohol burn. So it tastes bit bitter, like burned caramel. Finish is kind of toffee taste, but bland with leftovers of that alcoholic burn. Overall, not really my taste and the amount of added sugar doesn't suit me too.

Vanila and fruit aroma. Sweeter taste. Very good quality for the price.

Cadeautje voor onze spelletjesenrumavondvriend, aangeraden door de slijter. Lekker zoet, fruitig en kruidig. Weer een aanrader erbij!

Highly underrated. Maybe one of the wet runs for the price point. Especially $50 and under bottles. While the 15 year is excellent, save the $20 and get the 12.

Slavná, skvělá, přesvědčivá a sladká brána do světa rumů.
Kdo slušný rum nikdy nepil, bude překvapen, ohromen a nejspíše i lapen.

This is my go to whenever I am settling in for a relaxing evening. The nose on this one is very smooth with a nice finish on the back of the palate. Savor every taste!

At least my country, this 12year is actually cheap and can deliver a lot for the price.
Fruity, but not so overly sweet as some others.
