Tasting Notes
"This super funky rum is clear, however the depth of flavor would suggest otherwise. It manages to reveal the rich, blackstrap molasses of the Jamaican rum, mixed with the earthiness of Guyanese, the fruitiness of Barbados, the bitterness of Batavia Arak from Java and the lightness from Trinidad rum to smooth it all out. The flavors are strong and rich, allowing it to be sipped neat, but it's a favorite with bartenders because of its flavor impact in cocktails."
