I had heard nothing but great things about this rum, so I finally gave it a try. My verdict: it's fine. On the nose, I picked up smoked oak and molasses, along with a flavor I couldn't quite place at first. Someone suggested orange peel, and smoked orange peel is exactly right. As for the taste, including the finish, it wasn't nearly as complex as I expected. The dominant note is the same burnt oak that comes through in the aroma. Again, it's fine. For the price, you could do a lot worse—and only slightly better.
