Was looking for a clear rum as a mixer. I saw this on sale for $14, and I really enjoyed other Foursquare Distillery products like Doorly's 12. So I bought it.
Its pretty simple on the nose with mostly vanilla and some banana. The taste was similar with vanilla, banana, and a hint of pepper. There's some barrel notes in there too like oak. I think it was just 'OK' neat, but I mainly bought this for mixing.
It makes solid daiquiris and mint mojitos. Its smooth and doesn't add anything offensive to any drinks. Sometimes I'll notice a bit of coconut in my mojito, but I have to search for it. My main gribe is the low proof. Its 40%. I wish this was closer to 46% AVB. I prefer to taste the alcohol in my drinks rather than have liquor disappear. Still, this was a pretty solid mixer for $14.
