69 seems a little harsh, I definitely didn't taste any acetone. Smells like rum, vanilla, caramel and sugars. When you taste it you can definitely taste the brandy influence( the bottle says it was finished in a mix of brandy & cognac casks). It's very fruity to start with, vanilla comes in with a touch of oak, and it leaves your mouth tingling, ready for another sip. There is another version of this, one that is 8 yr old rum finished in port casks. It is much darker, I haven't tasted it yet, but it smells quite nice
