For the price, you could do much worse. I have to thank the brother in law for the opportunity (that I hadn’t realized I wanted), but figured I’d record a few tasting notes since I was getting my arm twisted anyway. Yay Thanksgiving. Compared to (the now defunct, thankfully) ubiquitous Bacardi 151, there is no comparison. Whereas I recall the Puerto Rican offering as 100% vile rubbing alcohol, this offers a number of redeeming qualities, despite the proof. Sipping neat because I refuse to shoot it. High proof rum, no doubt about it. Nose isn’t a too bad (or particularly enlightening), but not oppressive. Sweet toffee and butter on the palate. Loads of butter. Butter for days. Pretty impressive really. The proof takes over rather quickly on successive sips, so eventually hard to differentiate, but there is pretty decent flavor overall. Seems like it’s gently dosed but really hard to suss out the details. Either way, could do worse if you need an overproof option.
