    Not really suitable for

    Anyone avoiding added sugar-like sweetness, or drinkers looking for dry, complex, or high-ABV rums with depth and structure.

    I usually don't really like these sugared Spanish-style rums and I even doubt that the age statements of the Malteco rum-line can be trusted but the 'vintages' from them are very, very tasty and I like them a lot. Update: Now too thin for me, good daily sipper though.

    Almost no Guyana taste, but huge amount of sugar/molases

    It is smooth but way way to sweet. Caramel and dried fruits dominate.
