It is a land of DEET and sunscreen. Rental mustangs. This was the only bottle of white rum I recognized in this small island shop in the Florida Keys. Seemed to fit the occasion. Big nose of banana pudding with toasted coconut and earthy papaya. No hogo (kerosine, tar, etc). Maybe some crystallized ginger as well as hearty oak. That last part is a big surprise by the color but color is not to be trusted. Fruity (papaya, pineapple, mango, overripe banana), sweet with peppery, spicy notes. Dark cigar wrapper bitter earthiness. Spicy, slightly warm finish. As compared to Wray & Nephew it is softer (also much lower proofed) and earthier. Compared to 3 star it is much spicier and a bit less sweet but within the range of comparable. Good choice for a spicy, unconventional white rum. Holds up well in a Daiquiri or Pina Colada. Gets absolutely lost in finger beer. Doesn’t Ting as well as W&N.
