Again one where the ABV integration is really poor. Even when rested for a very long time it still bites. Lightly fruity and wooden touch with sprinkles of chocolate and vanilla.

I think this is the first cask strength rum that is sweetened, I just don't understand why? Because of all the sugar you can hardly taste what potential is still in the rum... shame.
