Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose moderate sweet floral notes with some mild spice and oak. Taste reveals a very up front smooth spice with some fruit and floral notes that evolves into a mild whiskey and red wine undertone. This is such a beautiful example of a traditional Barbados rum that is incredibly smooth and complex. Finish is long with the sweet spice evolving into a mild treacle bitterness. An absolutely outstanding rum.

Review by Shaun Abel
Not to bad, little tingle off the taste and a nice flavor sticks on your tongue, doesn't last long though
