Reviews
Showing the most detailed of 2 parsed reviews.
The initial wood taste strongly resembles milder whiskies and it gives the impression of an old-fashioned drink. Whether you drink it straight for that bold kick or mix it with minimal cola, it feels more substantial than most rums. It’s quite tasty and worth trying.
