Nose - overripe banana, burnt caramel, molasses, stewed apple, cola, brown sugar, sweet vanilla, pineapple, cinnamon, tobacco, cherry, boozy chocolate, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - overripe banana, creamy vanilla, molasses, burnt caramel, nutty nougat, tropical fruit, cinnamon, tobacco, nutmeg, ginger, cherry, apple, mild alcohol bite, finishing medium length with molasses, overripe fruit, and baking spice flavors. This is unmistakably a Jamaican rum. The hogo is very present, but it tastes young and a bit underdeveloped. This doesn’t stand up to the likes of AE 12, but it’s not a bad budget option more suitable to mixing than sipping neat.
