The funkiest barrel tastes I have ever gotten on a rum- stewed tomatoes, over ripe pineapple, coconut butter, and soggy oaken barrel. Doctor Bird is not for the faint of heart. If you are not down with that funky, over ripe note, and a vegetable bite on the end, it will not be for you. For me, I found it a very strange yet fun rum. Definately not what I am used to
