Nose: Mild citrus (lemon), light herbal/grassy notes, faint hints of banana and coconut. Overall it's a breezy, clean nose with a soft profile and any overt ethanol aroma is well hidden in the background. Palate: The arrival is quite civilized with a surprisingly fruity flavour of dried dates and a delightful oily texture. It's sweet, but it's not too sweet, and becomes more drying as it develops. The development first shows a butterscotch flavour, and then later caramel, vanilla and molasses appear. Finish: Short. Mild citrus and a light touch of brown sugar. This is not a complex spirit, but at the price point you wouldn't expect it to be. It's a very acceptable, clean, middle-weight white rum with a balanced character that is neither too sweet nor too dry. If you have a particular dislike of overly sweet white rum this would be a good choice for use in mixed drinks. It is good value and good in cocktails, with just enough character. Having now tried most of the white rums in this price bracket (some of which are more akin to vodka than rum) it's the one I'd recommend as an affordable mixer. I also surprised myself with this. While writing this review I suddenly discovered my glass was empty and I realized I'd been enjoying it neat as a sipping rum. That's got to be push it to an above average rating. "Above Average" : 80/100 (3 stars)
