One of my favorite white rums for mixing. Nose is a little sharper with alcohol than other white rums but it is also enriched with toasted coconut, vanilla and toffee notes. The palate is a little sharp on the back end but starts with minute sweetness and quickly turns drier. Hints of those toasted coconut covered marshmallows and distant wood, vanilla and tropical fruit and essence. Bright and relatively neutral but that extra flavor and slight woolliness really makes outstanding cocktails. That is what a good white rum does. Adds a little bit of natural character to cocktails but isn’t offensive or overbearing. Otherwise, you might as well use vodka instead. $18-21/1.75L is an awesome price. A++ in Key Lime Daiquiris!
