Nose - molasses, tobacco, brown sugar, coffee, butterscotch, orange, vanilla, leather, dark chocolate, cookie dough, allspice, raisin toast, baked apple, moderate ethanol burn. Taste - molasses, butterscotch, apple, vanilla, tobacco, sweet floral notes, peanut butter fudge, nutmeg, allspice, raisin toast, black pepper, orange, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium length with molasses, baking spice, and burnt toast flavors. This is another inexpensive mixing rum I picked up a while back, but it’s actually not too terrible as a sipper. The nose is rich and dark, with molasses, butterscotch, burnt raisin toast, and baking spices. The palate is a bit watery and doesn’t carry the same richness. There’s more molasses, some peanut butter fudge nuttiness, and a hint of orange. The nose on this is much better than the palate. It actually contains many of those dark notes I enjoy encountering on bourbons. The most disappointing aspects here are the mouthfeel and finish. It tastes overly diluted and the flavors start veering into sour territory around the mid palate. For me, this is better than average and teeters right on the edge of sippability. However, it’s more than capable as a mixer. I’ve made some pretty delicious Rum Flips with it over the past year.
