This rum is one of the cheapest bottles in my cabinet, yet it contends with some of the most expensive bottles. The aroma immediately hits me with pretzels (more accurately, charred paper and saline, but I assume less can relate to that), with molasses, banana, mandarine orange, and cinnamon undertones. The taste immediately hits with banana, molasses, mandarin, vanilla, pretzel, pineapple, and allspice. It then develops into a molassesy caramel creamed coffee that keeps the banana, mandarin, and toast undertones. It then has a long finish of molasses, cloves, orange peel, banana, caramel, cinnamon, chocolate, and coffee. When the chart says it is rich, it truly does mean it. The complexity is absurd for how much I have paid for the several bottles I have purchased. The mouthfeel is also incredibly oily like I would expect from an expensive fully pot still spirit. I can not state it enough how well this would do in a blind tasting against top shelf spirits.
