This is quite enjoyable. A fantastic flavor profile that eludes me. It's reminiscent of a familiar candy, perhaps with a touch of rum. It might not be perfect, but I believe it would excel in a dark and stormy cocktail.

A quite acceptable “mixing” rum, inoffensive, you could try a sip if you want, but it’s so affordable that you won’t regret pouring it with cola.
Mellow flavor profile and a definite wooden note can be tasted. Mixes very well to create a blend of flavors I find to be both enjoyable & relaxing.
A decent, standard rum. A tiny bit superior to Bacardi, yet it costs a little more. Satisfying flavor with no clear faults, but it lacks excitement for a truly stellar rating.
This rum isn't as polished as some established ones, yet it possesses a gorgeous smoky character that alone makes it worthwhile.
Spicy heat. A little sweet. Woody character. Notes of coconut. Very suitable for cocktails but pleasant enough neat.
