Upfront, this isn’t a Maritime rum at all! Yes, it has exotic features like the pure coral filtered spring water... however, this rum is more along the whiskey lines... it’s not sweet (Compared to Sailor Jerry’s Rum). As a single malt scotch guy, I do love my Three Canes Rums. I took a chance on this, and to my shgrin, I can honestly say, I AM NOT A FAN!
