Tasting Notes
"The nose is heavily influenced by the rum with coconut, banana, vanilla, and a touch of rum-funk. These sweet notes are intensified on the palate with toffee and milk chocolate coming in to play with baking spices. The whisky is difficult to suss out of this product, but that said, it is an enjoyable experience. But one you could have by just buying Jamaican rum instead."
