Khukri XXX
People after a light, sweet, spiced-style pour are the audience here — think vanilla, caramel and toffee up front with a floral, faintly menthol turn. Several tasters compare it to Don Papa rather than an aged rum, and the medicinal, near-neutral edge shows up neat. Most agree it's better in cola with plenty of ice than in a glass alone.

Aggregated from 28 community reviews.
Light, sweet, floral pour with a medicinal edge Reviews run low and mostly agree: light, sweet and floral with a medicinal streak that turns some off neat. A few find it drinkable in cola, few would buy again.

Review by zabo
To be honest, you have to admit that the rum is not even that good on its own. It's a mixture of watered-down neutral alcohol with medicinal notes and a little sweetness. I decided to simply pour it into the cola with lots of ice, it's more pleasant but unfortunately not a hit either.
Review by Stefan Persson
Overall better than expected, but nothing I can recommend. The nose dominates by vanilla, caramel and som licorice. At the palate is the scents of vanilla, caramel and licorice still there but it’s also flowery and tastes menthol.
Review by Mc Pirate
A light rum more reminiscent of a Dom Papa than a good old rum. The candy is very present on the nose and the palate is very floral! For connoisseurs who appreciate light and/or spiced rums.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Foul, medicinal, bitter. Inedible.
