A number of years ago now I got into straight spirit drinking via rum. Since then it's been whisky all the way. I thought I'd dive temporarily back into the world of rum after an extended absence. This was one I didn't rate that well at the time but I thought as my palate matured and has now trended towards the less sweet I might enjoy this more. Nope...tepid flavour, and a few bitter ethanol notes which I really dislike in whisky. I've actually rounded this down to 2.5 but as it's cheap I'll leave it at a 3.
