I really liked this rum. It was one of two bottles I bought for the birth of my son (the other being Black Tot 51). My wife and I will drink it with him one day. It’s the first American rum I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t pack big flavours like some rums I could mention but it’s well balanced and highly refined. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to pick out tasting notes so I will return to it in a couple of years and update it if necessary as I have several 3ml samples.

7.5/10

Pleasant, already quite round for three years. Quite close to Belize or Barbados bottlings, oak, vanilla, caramel and some coconut. I miss a bit of individuality in the profile of the Privateers - these are of course good distillates, but without a real unique selling point.

7.7/10

Beautiful, balanced and uncomplicated rum - despite its young age. Strongly reminiscent of Barbados and Belize rums. Ideal for a relaxed evening.
