I wanna give this 5 stars and I wanna give it 1. that explains my 3 right off the bat. I made a pour with my first shot of a 200ml. It smelt like alcohol, tasted not much better than alcoholic molasses. Fast forward to tonight. I poured a shot. Drank a Moscow mule, let it air out. this is the Evan Williams of spiced rum. out the bottle it's kid shit. let it air out it smells like butterscotch and becomes a scotch. Take that how you will. this is a good sipper for the price if you got time to let it simmer in between shots, otherwise... all burn and no class.
