Gold Rum — Jamaica

Has that Jamaican funk -- but not overpowering -- and a sweet, tropical fruit & banana aroma. My pre-teen son said it smells like a dry-erase marker.
I think it has a mild sweetness, Jamaican carmely-funk, smoothness on the tongue but an after-burn that is a bit too strong and lingering.
Someone mentioned it'd be better with ice but while that did calm the burn it made the flavor a little more stronger.
07June2025 - Aroma reminds me of very ripe tropical fruits. Pleasant. Alcohol burn isn't that much of an issue but still best mixed with cola. Straight with a whisky-sized ice cube tastes good, gives more of a rum-soaked banana taste.
Rating is based on neat sipping.
