Fine!

Sweet, caramel. Strong bourbon notes from the oak barrel it was aged in. Quite good.

Brian, Jun 7, 2020

Great aroma and was anxious to try. Sweet at first and started off well but took a hard left for me and was ultimately too dry for my liking to give it a higher score

Absolutely terrible, taste like a bad whiskey that wants to be a rum. Only suitable for mixing with something you actually would like to taste.

Let me start by saying I am new to sipping rums. Rum is my favorite alcohol to mix with something, but straight up is a learning experience for me. The first thing I notice from the tasting glass is its pungent alcohol scent! As I move to the side to aquire the secondary ingredients, I can detect a burnt caramel aroma. The alcohol smell remaims overwhelming and I'm at a loss to identify anything else. The legs are on the thin side and of a medium length in my novice estimation. The first sip greets my tounge with the same overpowering alcohol I smell. This time, I taste burnt in the alcohol flavor. This rum is consistent in its ability to let you know it is alcohol you hold. Mixing the sippping rum may be a sin, but I need to do something so I can get this down. Tasting as per what my pallet is accustomed to, I find the alcohol smell is still primary and is nearly overwhelming anything else. However, now I can swallow it and think about something other than alcohol. This allows me to the recognise burnt caramel flavor. There are hints of banana in the finish. I'll summarize by saying it's all in a name. Van Brunt Stillhouse's Due North Rum could be called Van BURNT Stillhouse Due North Alcohol -- it's lighter than Sterno.

I'd give it two stars because I like bananas and caramel. And I'm sure Sterno wouldn't be as smooth.
