It's quite average, bordering on unpleasant. Primarily deep caramel notes followed by an alcoholic burn. The taste can quickly become cloying, but if you can tolerate it, it's found in most UK bars. However, consider other options first.
A very aromatic dark rum. It's quite distinct, unlike others. Moderately dry, a little vanilla with undertones of oak bark and tobacco. A very masculine drink, it pairs perfectly with a strong cigar.
A good, standard rum, as expected. Excellent for a rum and coke, though not quite suited for sipping neat. Enjoy.
The alcohol dominates the flavors. This pairs well with egg nog. Not recommended for sipping straight.
Sweet, slightly watered down. Acceptable in a bind.
