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.

Reviews
Showing the most detailed of 5 parsed reviews.
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.
Sweet, incredibly smooth, with fruit and a very broad range of flavors.
Very smooth rum with subtle hints of caramel.
Slightly sweet towards the end.
