Rich and round. Relatively high level of sweetness. Roasted almonds and cinnamon with a touch of maple on the palate.

Review by Godspeed
This one has neither the abrasive burnt tones of Skipper demerara nor the smoothness and roundness of the El Dorado expressions. It’s a good cocktail rum for a relatively neutral demerara taste (but do you really want that?) but kind of hard to recommend given the options.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Bought is as a mixer when I was trying to find a 151 Demerara (but that’s close to impossible over here) Neat it’s very straight forward, but has no depth or complexity in the flavor. Useable mixer, but not convincing.
Review by Han
Has of course something of Demerara... strong memories of the engine room in the ship - diesel and heavy oil... who likes it... theoretically good replacement to the Pusser's in Painkiller... but does not fit at all ...
