4.5/5. On the heal of a bottle I purchased summer of last year. This has to be the most addictive rum I've had so far. So much to me that I drink it sparingly so that I always have more available without breaking the bank with an entire cabinet of bottles. It's like a cross breed of a Barbados rum and a Jamaican rum and absolutely delicious. It tastes like raw sugar cane, cola, nutmeg, clove, hint of vanilla and molasses taffy... Not sure at all how this ended up getting an 83, I find that score almost insulting for something that tastes this good. Perhaps I lucked out on a good bottle, but general consensus seems to be in-line with my sentiments. I purchased another bottle several months later so maybe I'll give an update on the batch variation, but if it tastes like this I'll give it 4.5 stars all day....And night. Thoroughly satisfying sipping rum for my palate. I prefer it to El Dorado 21 by a large margin and it's a 3rd of the price.
