My wife wanted to try some fruity tiki drinks so I picked this up at the store because I had a recipe that called for mango rum. I had no intention of drinking this neat, but I figured I would give it a chance since the cocktail (which I can't remember what it was) was pretty decent, albeit a bit too sweet.
The nose is heavy on mango, but more of an artificial fruit flavoring of mango instead of fresh mango. The palate is very sweet, with again that same artificial mango. It's the definition of one note and a complete sugar overload. The finish is short and sweet, as if you couldn't have guessed. At least there was no burn.
I regret trying this neat and I'm not really sure what I expected, but as you can imagine, it's not good. The only reason you should pick this up is if you plan to make some very sweet tiki style drinks. Otherwise avoid at all costs. I'm giving it a 1.5 because it's very cheap and it can work in certain cocktails.
