Review by Mark Leggett
This rum is a mix of column and pot still. Smells of caramel, coconut, mango and a little Jamaican funk. Flavor follows the smell with hints of cinnamon and dark fruit. Complex flavor profile.
Review by Benjamin Penman
A fine rum, leading with mild sweetness and overripe pineapple and gardenia flowers on the nose. Sipping opens up sweetness, oak, vanilla, and a touch of island fruit. Finish is mostly oak and some bitterness once the sweetness subsides.
Review by Wagnerlicious
Tasted as part of the distillery tour. Unfortunately, it lacks a little depth. Fine notes of pineapple, melon and citrus. Some oak. Not a rum that is a taste sensation on its own, but well suited for mixing and cocktails.
Review by Mitchell Kennedy
Sweet caramel, plum, and date taste. A little bit of wood and spice, but not much. Mostly dried dark fruit and molasses.
