Positive reviews and wanting to expand liquor horizons prompted this purchase a while back. Poured neat, nose has......wow this is very different from any whiskey that's for sure. Im getting some unique notes. Burnt popcorn with butter on it, agave juice, blackstrap molasses, incense and the inside of one of those crank pencil sharpeners. Complex and morphing I quite like it. Deep dark color leads palate of smoky caramelized brown sugar, orange peel, semi sweet chocolate chips, vanilla extract and seasoned birchwood. Finish is drying wood, charred sugars,mild anise and fading butterscotch. Excellent balance of sweet and smoky char notes. This is fantastic liquor. I didn't realize rum could be so rich and robust with such diverse flavors but this delivers in spades. Im gonna have to explore rum now for sure. No doubt this would mix great too but its worth drinking straight. I don't have a lot of experience with rum but I know a quality spirit when I taste it......86/100.....Easy repurchase and amazing value at around $20-25

@jonwilkinson7309 It's nice to hear that for once! It seems like every time I turn around, there's something else that used to be readily available but is now nowhere to be found.
@ContemplativeFox. The availability did seem to drop for a while, but it appears to be prevalent once again.
@jonwilkinson7309 For some reason I thought that the 15 had been discontinued. Glad to see it's still alive and well!
@Ctrexman Hope you enjoy the 15! I've had bottles of both, but the 15 is the one I keep on the shelf. Great stuff!
Yeah its great and under 30$ I liked it so much I picked up thr 15yr
@Ctrexman I just bought a bottle of El Dorado 12 too. Absolutely delightful.
Yeah Ive been going down the rum rabbit hole with El Dorado, Zacapa,Diplimatico, Appleton etc
Look for the kirk and sweeny 23 yo, if you want to get into the sippin side of rum.
I need to give this a shot too, at least for it's claimed similarity to the legendary British nay rum.
