I have had this Rum in my bar for a while and drink it on occasion and seeing it has been years since it has been reviewed I thought I would give it a shot. This rum is not a fancy drink that you bring out for special occasions and it is not a flavorless white rum that is only good in daiquiris and for people that don't know any better. It falls in-between. I like rum in general because it mixes so well with fruits and juices and this one does not disappoint me at all. I have made a few drinks like the St Croix Rum Fix and using it as a substitute for Cruzan Dark Rum. But the rum does taste syrupy sweet with maple and sugar as the dominant flavor. For the price, it is very hard to beat and it mixes well with all of the fruits I have used so far. However, neat or on the rocks, it is too sweet for my tastes.
