Roxanne Sherman 3.0

A rich 1970s bottling of Lamb's dark rum from England. It presents an aromatic beginning with notes of cinnamon, red chili, coffee bean, heavy molasses, mint leaf & Turkish delight; while a full and rich life added honey, cigar box, sugary vanilla & flying saucer sweetness; culminating in a long and intense end with notes of orange oil & salted crisps. January / April 2018

Kailey Rubin 2.3

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.

Connie Maldonado 3.5

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.

Merle Iverson 3.0

A good, standard rum, as expected. Excellent for a rum and coke, though not quite suited for sipping neat. Enjoy.

Twila Harwood 2.0

The alcohol dominates the flavors. This pairs well with egg nog. Not recommended for sipping straight.

Isis Mccarthy 2.0

Sweet, slightly watered down. Acceptable in a bind.
