Review by Kieron Wood
Fantastic Cuban rum. I tried this at a rum tasting event over zoom and it was incredible. This history of this rum is fascinating and very complex . Tasting notes had a dry start not tobacco, followed by chilli peppers and finishing with cacao ... I think Foursquare is a nicer spiced rum if you prefer sweeter but for dry lovers out there , this is the stuff

Review by Adrian Wahl
Coffee aroma is already a bit present, otherwise it's nothing. It may be justified as a blender, but otherwise it's not much. 53/100
Review by Marcus Vinicius Quito
Smooth palate, sweet at first, quickly turning to spices. A touch of spiciness and alcohol present. Excellent to taste! This was the first quality Ron I was introduced to, and with it I realized that there is a lot to enjoy and learn about in the world of this complex drink.
