I let the bottle sit for a moment before tasting it. The idea of soft caramel was there, but the spice tasted artificial. It may suit a different palate, but it wasn't for me.
fruity - molasses - sweetI mostly tried this rum as part of a simple serve. The tropical fruit was pleasant, but the finish was thin. Fine for a casual serve, less convincing on its own.
