This rum presents butterscotch, toffee, and vanilla to the nose. The taste is surprisingly complex. It has a slightly oily mouth feel. Stronger notes of vanilla, butterscotch, and toffee meet the middle of the tongue but the finish is where the flavor really lingers. Notes of pineapple, mango, orange, caramel, brown sugar, and citrus give way to spices on the finish. For the price, this is definitely one of the better rums on the market.
