A great sipping rum for those starting out thanks to the added sugar. Those more well versed in rum might describe it as "cloying", but I personally like it a lot as someone who is still a novice in relativity. I could honestly see myself rating this lower a few years from now. Candied oranges, brown sugar, and vanilla on the nose, with more candied orange, chocolate, raisins, and cola on the palate/finish.
