Beautiful label on the bottle, and the first sip impressed me, but further sips made me recognize how absurdly sweet it is with little else going for it. Tastes more like a liqueur than a rum. Or cough syrup. Or cream soda. Lots of vanilla and sticky sweetness. Other notes are down there (like clove), but they're way down. Works fine as a mixer in sweeter drinks, but that's about it.
