The aroma has light cinnamon and sugar. It offers a sweet taste of cinnamon hard candy, with some caramel notes. The flavor is subtle, making it easy to overlook, especially when mixed. It's quite similar to mild Fireball, amusingly. As a mixer, it would be better suited for those seeking a gentle rum flavor with a touch of sweetness. Neither the taste nor the aroma is off-putting, and the bottle design is attractive, but it's not a must-have. Rating is for sipping neat.
