Tondeña Gold Manila Rum

Not good. 1st, would recommend Kirkland's dark 1.75 or largo bay from total wine. About same price, way better buy. But, wanted to try something from Philippines considering that I loved everything I ate, and drank over there. BTW. Adobo is awesome! Price is ok Suger is low Very sharp, so you are going to lose some cells on your tongue - not as bad as biiju, but think to a bit smoother than absolute. After taste is mild on Carmel, and vanilla, nothing else, for a gold; think like it is a Blanco tequila. Overall, can spend your money better, and I bought it as a "screw it, lets try it." Go heavy with lime, and Coke, or fruit juice. If want a better sip rum, El Dorado 12yr, or Bobouncout (sp) 8yr is a better buy at l around $18-24.
