A deep, rich orange. Vegetal nose, pineapple for sure but sharing a kinship with rye whiskey. A twinge of spice.
Sweet syrup, then the pineapple builds. Prominently features the bark: grassy, bitter, and fresh, with pineapple juice complimenting around the edges. That bitter edge offsets the sweet, with a delicate burn and spice that lingers. Really nicely done, and complex in a way that conventionally flavored rums can only dream of. Creamy coconut evokes pina colada. Gentle fruit and floral notes. Somewhere between a rum and liqueur, this is a quality option on the shelf that is not imitated by merely mixing rum with pineapple juice. Worth a try.

@ctbeck11 I found it to be just within the boundary of sweetness for my palate, but then I also like gin, liqueurs, amari etc. Someone who only like dry, tannic whisky would probably think this is too sweet, but it's hard to predict. I was very pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this rum.
@Benji-Robert I bought it for the same reason, and it works wonderfully. Also a solid sipper if the sweetness isn’t too much for you.
if I see this I'm grabbing it to make coladas with in the blender.
