Great after dinner rum full of sweet molasses and other sweet flavours with a nice almost liquorice/aniseed finish. Great value for money!

Very smooth. Almost like a knob creek smoked maple bourbon. It’s smoky and sweet. Little on the sweet side and easy to sip and enjoy.
 
Michael
Michael,
Very complicated. Almost a dessert rum. The maple is verrrrrry strong almost too much so. But incredibly refined and complex.
 
Michael
Michael,
Love it very smooth
 
Bries
Bries,
Deliciously rich and complex. I get caramel & roasty spice on the nose, molasses, tamarind, vanilla, and maple on the palate. Dark, warm, ruby-amber, visually.

Susanna
Susanna,
I am not so familiar with Rhum, but this was excellent. It was spicy and yet not too spicy. A heartwarming drink in February’s cold weather. I recommend this.
 
Chase
Chase,
Very sweet start and a complex aftertaste that leaves you wanting more.
 
Paul
Paul,
The nose is amazing, like maple syrup or a pecan praline. Palate is complex and balanced, with a long spicy finish

i absolutely love this
 
Antti
Antti,
It is a very good, rich, dark rum that has a rich birth; while an even richer life ; that leads to a long & smooth death with loads of dark brow sugar..
 
Kalle
Kalle,
Great rum for sipping. Paired with good cigar, it's nearly perfect.
 
Roy
Roy,
Strong Carmel tones. Great flavor and easy to sip.
 
Lindsey
Lindsey,
Pretty damn good for a $60 bottle of rum! Smooth and balanced. Good oak and honey and caramel notes. A little spice and sweetness on the finish. Perfect. Could be a little more robust and rich to get to that 10 starts though.

Honey in the forefront. Hints of coffee and bit of heat
 
Scott
Scott,
Easily in my top 5 rums. Sweet, sweet vanilla.
 
Jens
Jens,
The smokey flavor isn't really my thing, so keep that in my when seeing the review. Prefer something like Plantation XO 20th and Ron Cartvaio XO.
 
Michael
Michael,
I like the complexity and richness - worth a bottle.
 
Michael

My wife and I love the smell. This is an outstanding rum, with a great finish.

The smell alone was tasteful. Every sip was delicious. Favorite!
 
Cory
Cory,
Very rich and tasty. It almost resembled a great port wine, very easy to sip.
 
Jackie
Jackie,
Nice sweet aftertaste
 
Raoul
Raoul,
My first rum after a long time. A bit disappointing: high alcohol and unpolished, not as much taste and flavor as the Barbados or Venezuelan rums.
 
Rodney
Rodney,
I'm typically a Scotch and red wine girl and bought this to try something different. The reviews and flavour Spiral seemed quite accurate to me. I enjoy the rich aroma and could definitely get the hints of toffee and muscovado sugar. Has a slight bite to start, though finishes smooth and sweet. Not the kind to mix with anything other than a cube. Can this replace my port for a apres-dinner digestif? Pairs best next to the fireplace with a cozy blanket and good conversation. Make it a long pour!
 
Mathew
Mathew,
I’m not generally into rum, but this is excellent. It’s like maple candy with spices and hints of vanilla. It’s still a tad sweet for my taste but I didn’t know rum could be this good.
 
Shannon
Shannon,
So smooth and warming
 
Eric
Eric,
Likely the best rum Ive ever tried. Just wow.
 
Josh
Josh,
This was in the Flaviar Awards 2017 tasting box. It was my least favorite, but I'm not really that big into rum (so take this review with a grain of salt). It tasted a lot like brown sugar to me.
 
Scott
Scott,
Sweet with a hint of smoke
 
Brady
Brady,
Aroma presents a smoky and surprisingly fresh, plant-like smell. This may be due to the virgin sugar cane. Taste is very smooth! You can taste the virgin sugar cane - pure at the forefront. The rum-like spiciness is tailed by honey flavor. Not too sweet though, for a coffee-maple factor follows after that, and lingers on the palate. The flavor spiral™ on this one correlates nicely. Very palatable, and unique. A delicious twenty year aged rum, making it a must try!
 
Troy
Troy,
My first time drinking 20-year-old rum and I have to say is excellent

Very smooth rum, better than their 12 year.

I'm not really a rum drinker. Prefer whisky instead. However, this was a nice sipper. Not as sweet as so many.

The aroma reminded me of butterscotch. Very smooth palate sweet like honey with a little oak. I thought it was whiskey initially. Very nice!
 
Robenson
Robenson,
this was by far the best rum i have ever tasted

Oak plus honey almost tastes like licorice. Very smooth palate with a spicy back and a short velvety finish

Very different rum from others. Not as strong in terms of alcohol, but very rich in taste it's taste of oak and honey. Definitely a recommended rum!

Rich, sweet. "Smoky honey" is right; this is richly flavored and has huge molasses taste.
