The bottle had a few things going for it. It opened with vanilla note, then moved into brown-sugar sweetness without losing balance. It was gone faster than I expected, which says enough.

Unfortunately, the alcohol felt sharp, and the finish turned rough. Not one I'd return to.

Served this rum neat after dinner and let it settle for a minute. I tried changing the serve, but it was too syrupy. The balance felt off from start to finish.

fruity - caramel - oaky
