Nayeli Ellison 3.5

It starts off quite funky, then transitions to sweet notes of candied bananas, tropical fruit, and a touch of butterscotch. While it's not my preferred rum, it's a decent option. I generally prefer Rhum Agricole.

Catalina Werner 3.8

Prominent notes of Amaretto/Vanilla, with a clean/light flavor. There's a bit more upfront burn than ideal; it's a good rum for mixing.

Warren Everett 4.5

Sweet, incredibly smooth, with fruit and a very broad range of flavors.

Maryam Jacobs 4.0

Very smooth rum with subtle hints of caramel.

Jerome Rinehart 4.3

Slightly sweet towards the end.
