Rich and smooth...sweet...Taste is Just right for an after dinner sip with a little bit of dark chocolate snack...It really opens up with a teaspoon of water...goes down very quickly so beware! Well worth it’s price. A bit richer than Ron Zacapa 23. The best way for me to describe this Rum is somewhere between el dorado 12 and Ron Zacapa 23. My Favorite rn
