2This rum had a few things going for it. The aroma hinted at warm spice; in the glass, the spice tasted artificial. It may suit a different palate, but it wasn't for me.

5I paired Daku with spicy snacks, which helped show its character. The molasses note came through clearly, and warming finish kept the sip interesting. Easy recommendation for someone who enjoys this style.

3I wasn't sure what to expect from Daku, but I gave it a fair try. The start was better than the finish: soft caramel first, then it was too syrupy. Some good points, though the balance didn't fully work for me.
