not to complex on the nose, or palate for that matter. The price is amazing @9.99 usd! the cruzan is sipable on ice and acctually decent . Palate: vanilia extract up front. with enough of, some form of oak for me to take notice , it comes into play about the same time the ocatane burns you just a little. to me the end is nutty almost like almond. one of my best values
