nothing special

Smell is molasses, yes I know that's obvious but thats all I can smell with this one. Maybe a little pepper. Taste is all thick caramel, ripe banana hint of lime, leather comes in near the end. Pretty sweet. Sweetness lingers for a while.

I really love this product...fairly vanilla forward with a little oak from the aging.

Might be my favorite rum I have had that doesn’t have an overbearing vanilla component. Super mellow tasting with a decent amount of wood picked up from the barrel.

A solid rum. Starts of with soft banana notes and then finishes with a spicy burn. Quite the contrast in flavors. Either way I am a fan

Lots of flavors here, with a a nice char/vanilla smell on the nose with tastes a beguiling mixture of brown sugar, oak and maple. A bit too much of an acerbic aftertaste to everything but other than that an extremely complex, interesting rum.
