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.

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.
A very potent sweet molasses scent. A strong sweet oaky finish. Much appreciated.
An exceptional spirit to drink straight. It's sweet with a kick and finishes like whiskey
Excellent rum with a bourbon-like finish.
This is a very enjoyable rum for sipping.
