AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!! This is one if not the best RUM on the US market and juat about the world. I say that because the levels of flavors and complexities that this rum envelops is almost unmatched. CARMEL, VANILLA, PECAN, CHOCOLATE, & THE LIST AND FLAVORS go on and on. Rum is not known as a sipping or neat drink but you can sip this one and drink neat and thats just one more reason that PILAR is 5 STARS
