Hogo and Savory This rum is the definition of hogo to me. It taste like molasses and the smell of rotten banana peels. There is also a savory type of richness, that tastes like tomatoes, I usually only get this flavor from cachaca. This rum is very strong and cheap. It isn't lacking in flavor and tastes great. If you're looking for a mixer, get it, just be sure to adjust for the abv.
