Review by Sawyer Guthrie
A solid cocktail rum in a neat bottle. Could be a great gift for people who don’t like funky rums but could enjoy a white with more character then Bacardi etc.
Review by Cundog
Still love this white rum. Just a great taste.
Review by Aaron
I get more a nose of vanilla and caramel than anything else. The taste is semisweet with wood and caramel. Enjoyable and recommended.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Liquid toffee/caramel candy. Relatively alcoholic and simply very artificial and sweet. Rather disappointing. Too bad!
Review by Rick Meyer
I was underwhelmed.
Review by Stefan L
This rum came up clearing out old bottles from the cabinet. It bores me indeed and I can’t recommend it. Just waiting for a new much nicer bottle to take up that space in the cabinet.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I use this rum for my Danish rum summer cake with strawberries. A great mix.
