Sip it neat and you get dark chocolate, coffee and prunes wrapped in a sweet, syrupy body — several tasters call it "very sweet with coffee and chocolate." There's leather, licorice and a camphor-rubber edge too. One member found it too bitter and too heavy on caramel coloring to drink straight, and salvaged it in a rum sour instead.
The community says- Dark chocolate & coffee
- Deep, layered nose
- But: Very sweet

Sweet, chocolate-coffee Demerara, best sipped slow Sweet, coffee-and-chocolate Demerara with leather and licorice. Most enjoy it, but a few find it too sugary or oddly bitter — and the PX/Oloroso finish barely shows.

Subtly bitter was announced. Unfortunately, this is not a background aroma; the rum comes to the fore with a strong bitterness. Not a rum for beginners. The chocolate aroma is slightly enhanced by the sweetness of prunes.
Review by Timo Groeger
I quite like this Rum Nation. On the nose, mostly dark chocolate and coffee. Also a bit of cinnamon. On the palate, it comes through really dark, again dark chocolate and coffee, plus mocha and espresso.

Here is a Rum Nation rum. I can drink it well, but there are definitely better ones from this brand. It tastes very sweet and like candy and candied fruit. Also very sweet on the nose. Still quite tasty
Review by kondgab
Very sweet with coffee and chocolate
Review by Александр Иванов
Nose: bright! Dark olive, chocolate, camphor, rubber, coffee, woody, prunes, old leather, brown sugar, licorice, herbs. First mind - to simple, but then, so deep & so many sides of aromas. Really good. Taste: Oh, sweet again ( cough medicine. Lot of dark chocolate, thyme, licorice, prunes, molasses, herbs, dark honey, little bit of eucalyptus & camphor. Aftertaste: Medium-long, bittersweet, with ethereal herbs, licorice, prunes & coffee. Conclusion: First mind - typical, simple dark rum. But then - so deep & multifaceted. Still sweet, still column & molasses, but it's really good sample for this type of rum. Very good.
Review by Wernie
Tasted shortly before the end of the bottle, not drinkable on its own, quite pleasant in Rum Sour, in combination with a strong shot of Smith&Cross. Otherwise far too sweet, too much caramelized sugar, the alleged finish in PX and Oloroso is not really noticeable. Does not pass the tincture test 😀
Review by Johan Larsson
Very nice stuff. A bit more leathery and tobako-burny-thingy
