Rates high against other unaged white rums, forward sweetness without harshness, long palate. As an unaged pot-still rum, can be used in some of Martin Cate's punches without resorting to overproof Wray and Nephew. Another good American in the pot-still in this age statement is Prichard's, available at Total Wine in Maryland. I purchased Bayou at a Virginia ABC store in the DC metro area. Both are excellent for the category.
