Very smooth, and certianly on the sweet side. Hides the natural rum flavors a bit, but still very enjoyable and quite unique. Update: after a few tastes on different days, I’m significantly downgrading this. It’s too sweet for my sensibilities, and more problematic still, it just doesn’t taste enough like aged rum. Instead, I get another flavor taking over midway through the taste that I assume is the sherry, which fights with the rum enough to confuse itself. Wanted to like this more, but just not for me.
