Single cask store pick, 4 years 7 months, 59.7% ABV. First rum review. I'm pretty inexperienced with this spirit. I have a bottle of Mount Gay XO, and this is much better. The Mount Gay has an off note that I can't quite identify, but it's present all the way through from the nose to finish. The nose on this is pretty vanilla, both in the sense of kind of boring, but also sugary vanilla. The palate though surprises with much more depth than you expect given the nose. Could almost pass for a bourbon, maybe a rum-barrelled bourbon. Almost. Vanilla, caramel, pineapple, cherry. Upside-down pineapple cake. A little oak is present. This is quite good, although also quite sweet, which is also surprising since there are no additives - no added sugar, which I understand is common with many rums. I'm planning to sneak this into a blind whiskey tasting with friends to see how it comes across to others who don't know they're tasting a rum.
