8.2/10

This is a good sipping rum and in my mind it doesn't deserve to be mixed with anything. At most you can add some ice. A nicely complex rum at the price tag and not too rich.

7.6/10

The nose and palate is a little bit weak and the finish is medium long. It isn’t as complex as and can’t really compete with other Bajan rums with similar aging. But the quite low price makes it very price worthy and makes it a very competitive everyday rum.
