Stable, spicy, strong blend, but a little too bitter and burnt for me personally.

7.5/10

Really nice blend. Makes an extremely drinkable and tasty figure in any daiquiri. The nose gives you the feeling of sitting on the beach and enjoying a vacation. Citrus fruits, limes, a little caramel. Really delicious!

7.8/10

The Jamaican influence is there, there's some pep, some fruit, it's pretty cool even if it remains wise, with a little vanilla and caramel. A well-balanced rum, with a little strength, but quite dry. Not bad.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
