This is THE rum that really got me interested in the different styles and expressions of rum, and it still holds up. Powerful estery nose, citrus, bananas, brown sugar and alcohol astringency. The palette is a wallop of over ripe bananas, vanilla, pineapple, with a thick and luscious mouth feel. For those wanting to experience an OP rum, this will run them running and screaming. But for the drinker with an open palette, and a thirst for complicated and BIG aromas and flavors, this is recommended.
