Tasting Notes
"In the glass, the rum presents a medium gold hue. The nose has a moderate amount of the ripe banana typical of the Jamaican style, with a backdrop of oak. Tasting reveals less of the traditional Jamaican “funk” than the nose would suggest, with subtle vanilla and fruit. The finish is dry with a hint of pepper. Neither a magnificent sipper nor a boldly flavored mixer, there are more interesting Jamaicans at this rum’s price point. "
