Rick,
Carmel and spice on the nose. The taste is moderately smooth with a stronger rum taste, or rum cake type flavor.

Ross,
Wanted a higher end Rum that I could drink on a rock and not feel guilty mixing in a Daiquiri as well. This does a good job on the Daiquiri side but I wanted a little bit more to drink neat or on a rock.
 
Robert
Robert,
Harsh nose, astringent. Flavor matched, spicy and some nuttiness. Felt the kick at the end.

I bought this bottle and my friends loved it! You can taste it just with ice or mixed it with sparkling water or create any cocktail. In my case I just added sparkling water and an orange peel. Delicious! I would buy it again!

Definitely this is one of my favorite rums! It has a quite smooth flavor and goes great with sparkling water. Recommend it to all those rum fanatics.

This rum is absolutely fantastic!! An attractive bottle that holds an amazing product within. The intriguing complexity suits for a dynamic range for craft cocktails and an excellent rum for sipping. I highly recommend!

perfect
 
John
John,
Very nice flavor of caramel and spice, with a bit of bite on the back end. Very nice!
 
Jason
Jason,
I think rum starts to tail off in the double digits for age in many cases. They start to get overly sweet. That being said this is still pretty damn good.
 
Bryan
Bryan,
Very good tasting rum, but not as good as Zacapa, which has a similar price point.
 
Marvin
Marvin,
Great with Coke. Always drink in Nicaragua.
 
David
David,
For a rum, it lacks the overt sweetness you might expect, and it seemed a bit thin. As others have pointed out it has a very short finish. It is better than say a Bacardi or other well-known rums. Good for sipping.

Good, a little abrasive
 
Henry
Henry,
People love and rave over this bottle. I love everything about the way it looks. I'm a whisky guy but decided to give this a shot. I tried multiple pours and it couldn't win me over. Maybe because I was expecting something like the Ron Zacapa XO (which is a 10 for me). Acceptable for price point but not a huge fan.

Amazing taste very smooth

Mature sweetness, not overwhelming. Shortish finish. Really interested in the older bottles after having this one. Really good
