Heavy vanilla
Review by Boshuda
If you like vanilla extract, this is it lol. Baking spice, roast, dark vanilla.
Review by GWATinSA
I am a novice and, through a recommendation, decided to start with this rum. It has nice vanilla overtones which I enjoy mixed with Coke Zero. At around $35, it is my current go-to as I branch out and try other types of rum.
Review by Jakob
Very sweet, respectively, too sweet for a distillate, which was created only by storage in the (dry) barrel. Taste okay, although of course very sugary and therefore rather to be considered as a "bottled cocktail".
Review by tornado pirate
Banana on the nose, while the taste is more like dark chocolate. Feels like it can make good old fashion with chocolate bitters. Average with pinneaple juice.
Review by K.STRIFE
Has a heavy vanilla smell and taste with hints of chocolate and spices. Great for mixing
Review by DruNierer
A little too much vanilla, but a nice sipper over ice
