Donnie Rader 4.5

You detect a subtle Jamaican funk with hints of banana and pear, followed by notes of blackberry and passionfruit. The barrel aging imparts a very roasted woody and dark chocolate flavor. It concludes with a light floral, herbal aniseed flavor at the back of your palate. This is a personal favorite. Instant affection.

Jess Kirkpatrick 5.0

The rum reached the palate with warmth, if not heat, but quickly transitioned to sweetness from the various fruits. The finish is enduring and has a sweet burn, which I'd liken to charred bourbon barrel (oak), the burn and sweetness of coffee, leather, tobacco, guava, pear, apple, and baking spice.

Barbara Billings 3.0

A very potent sweet molasses scent. A strong sweet oaky finish. Much appreciated.

Joaquin Webster 4.5

An exceptional spirit to drink straight. It's sweet with a kick and finishes like whiskey

Kiera Hannon 4.0
