4I mostly tried the bottle as part of a simple serve. The brown-sugar sweetness was enjoyable and soft caramel gave it enough character, although the caramel note felt heavy. I'd order it again in the right mood.

3Took my time with this rum in a simple rum cocktail. There were flashes of rounded sweetness, but the spice tasted artificial. Some good points, though the balance didn't fully work for me.

5I tried Old Monk The Legend with ginger ale. The balance between vanilla note and brown-sugar sweetness was what won me over. This one earned a place on my repeat list.
