Admittedly I'm new to rum but this one seems odd. Other members on the shelf right now are Cacique Anejo and Capt. Morgan Dark. BCN is sweet to start and bitter to finish, in very rapid succession. I have not found a happy mixer for rum yet, to my tastes, and guess this would be better served drowned in something sweet with its own dominating flavour. Straight it's a bit nasty really, on ice bearable. I wouldn't buy another and may well donate the bottle I have.
