This is a pretty good rum but not really my style. It has a powerful aroma that somehow seems like fried bananas, a mix of burnt sugar and sweet mushy banana, with maybe a bit of lemon or lime in there too. It's also got that Jamaican funk smell but not overwhelmingly so. The flavor is more sharp, tasting now like green bananas with a pretty strong lime tang, but underneath that there's a darker, heavier element like brown sugar and even brown butter. The banana note is what stays with me through the finish. I'm finding that the "funky banana" Jamaican thing isn't really my favorite in rums. That element is tempered here with softer brown sugar and so I still enjoy this, but not as much as other rums I've tried. This is a blend of Barbados and Jamaica rums, and I find I like the Barbados in it more than the Jamaica, if that makes sense. The Jamaican side is much more prominent on the nose but is mellowed in the flavor. I started making daiquiris with this and it does well there. It's not bad by itself but isn't something I'd really reach for to sip neat. However, at a mere $21 it's enough of a bargain that I could see getting it now and then even just for daiquiris.
