I've been trying a few ready made mixed drinks and this is one of the best so far. It is not too mixed with flavors and not too syrupy to me. The Bourbon is not overpowered. The ABV (75 proof) is such that a single small glass is enough to mellow out with a cigar and then easily store in the fridge for later. This and the sister drink The Old Fashion in the orange bottle are 2 of my gotos at the moment. Quick non-watered down mixed drinks to just enjoy.

Reviewed March 30, 2022Tastes better than I expected. The flavor is pretty strong. It is pretty sweet for whiskey. Almost like liquid candy. It's good for a couple of shots. I'm not sure that I could drink much more than that though. -
I'm pretty sure that they hit the goal that they were going for. It has a strong peanut butter taste. Some might say that it is more of a butterscotch taste. Maybe a little too much of a syrupy feel if drinking straight. But a little ice would remedy that immediately. For a 99 proof drink it doesn't taste bad at all and is easily drinkable with nothing else. This seems very mixable with other drinks to add a peanut butter or butterscotch taste without taking away from the potency. So far I've only mixed with their jelly flavored 99 proof liqueur. That mix doesn't taste bad and packs a hell of a punch.

This rum is not very good. It smells and tastes like rubbing alcohol straight out the bottle. I can't really taste or smell anything else. Maybe vanilla? But it's faint. This is not for the casual drinker. I'm giving 2 stars because it mixes with other sweet things fine. Not for sipping alone for sure.

This rum is VERY underrated in my opinion. I disagree where the review has it as being sweet or sugary. It has hints of pepper / peppermint to me but with 0 burn going down. Definitely see the earthy and spicy ratings. It is really smooth but with almost a wiskey type flavor. It also mixes with any drink very well adding a little spiciness but no burn. It is definitely one of my favorite rums now. I'm glad that I caught it on sale and tried it.35.0 USD per Bottle

Not too fruity or thick. Close to a Bourbon. It mixes well but it is a little too bitter for drinking straight. It is possible though if you like that type of bitterness. The bitterness is along the lines of orange peels and tobacco as noted in the description. I havn't smoked cigars in a while but I imagine that this would go well with one.

This is my new favorite drink. The smell and flavors of this rum are incredible. Definitely strong hints of banana and butterscotch. I see some complaining about the sweetness but it is right on the money to me. It does not have that liqueur feel and taste like some really sweet rums. A little ice is all that you need to sip this easily. It is very smooth and pleasing. The only knock against this rum is that it is only 70 proof. It is so smooth and easy to drink that heavy drinkers can get through a lot of it before feeling a major buzz. That would be fine if it was cheap but it is not. This is PERFECT for light to mid level drinkers though with only a little ice.
