Wish it was better considering the 18 year claim. Subtle flavor of honey, nuts, and vanilla when sipped but it has quite the boozy nose. Somehow smooth considering that though. It’s definitely not bursting with flavor and it’s a very light tasting rum overall. It definitely doesn't compare with your favorite Bajan rums for the record. I picked some up because it was cheaper at the duty free in Costa Rica than it was at home. Good to convert a vodka drinker to rum perhaps but likely to bore the whiskey crowd.
