The first whiff brings a little bit of nail salon, which isn't among my favorite notes. It's pretty hot on both the nose and the palate. Underneath the nail salon, there's some caramel banana, vanilla, apricot, maybe black cherry. The palate shows ethanol, grape soda, chocolate, green banana, vanilla, then goes for a fairly bitter finish. This is a little bit of a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, It's decent rum, but it doesn't rise to the level of other recent FS releases I've tried, and it's not a great value.
