Review by Anton Krioukov
This is a vanilla bomb! If you like the taste of vanilla, you would like this rum. It is fairly smooth drinking and would probably go well over ice. It definitely tastes like they add vanilla flavoring, in my opinion. Very sweet and not terribly complex.
Review by Kayla Roy
This is a mostly vanilla drink. It tastes like how I expected vanilla extract to taste. Not bad, probably a great mixer.
Review by Tom K
sweeter but fine
