5I tried this rum twice before settling on a rating. Warming finish showed up early, while molasses note carried through the finish. It was gone faster than I expected, which says enough.

4Used this one with cola and lime. I liked the soft oak. The only drawback was that the finish turned rough. Good enough to revisit, especially with the right serve.

5Served this rum over ice and let it settle for a minute. It opened with warming finish, then moved into tropical fruit without losing balance. This one earned a place on my repeat list.
