Saw a display of this on the way out of the ABC store the other day. Pretty bottle and it came with a free Tiki glass. Well, I'm a sucker for pretty bottles and free gifts AND I have been wanting to branch out and try some rums. Let's give it a go... Nose: Very promising. Vanilla, Buttercream Icing, Banana, those Yellow Disc Butterscotch candies, Maple and Molasses. Palate: Does not live up to the expectations generated by the nose. Disappointingly Thin. Vanilla, Banana Cream, Coffee with Cream and Sugar. Very little heat and a slight bitterness on the finish. So thin it leaves no coating on the palate, just a saccharine-ish aftertaste. Verdict: The nose was a Grand Slam. The palate was a dribbler back to the mound. The best part of this one is the free glass. I have a bottle of local-ish, unaged White Rum from Outer Banks Distilling that is miles better than this one and a couple dollars less to boot.
