The platonic ideal of what I imagine good aged rum to be. It’s on the drier side of things. Pretty woody and spicy, like you’d expect after 23 years. And the woodiness plays well against the rum itself, which is pretty rounded and mellow (not Jamaican). If I were to criticize it, I would mainly want it to be higher proof. As it is, it comes across a little flat and one-note, which is a shame for such an old product. But nothing about it tastes bad. Snag a bottle if you can find it.
