This is an amazingly rich and complex rum. Buttery, banana, wet clay, slightly minerally, and that tobacco smell when someone has a fresh pack of Winstons. Before they smoke them. Because after they smoke them, it smells like a putrid truck stop. But before they smoke them, it's kind of pleasant. This is a stunning rum. I paid $25 for this. It might be the best value of any spirit I have on the shelf.
