Let me tell you this an ace in the hole cocktail ingredient for me. . I've used it in several recipes over the years in amounts as much 2 oz to .5 oz in a between the sheets riff. BUT that high sugar component is a turn off when straight sipping and not always agreeable. Flavor wise you get a super maple syrup vibe to it that hits you over the head. Oh if it were a little more balanced like it's older aged statements. I heard that its coffey still can be smelled from a mile away.

This one is probably my second favorite (so far) in my collection. Once it has a little time to breath, it tastes delicious neat.

This is a nice flavourful Rum more of a sipper than a mixer and I prefer to mix. Very fruity, very sweet and has a lovely nose. To some extent wasted on me as there are cheaper Rums (Which are not so nice straight) that are created for mixing. This has a different and almost floral flavour profile which I like but not enough to pay double the price as a regular drink. I only had a sample bottle but I would probably tire of this one quite quickly

A relatively sweet blended molasses rum, but wonderfully round and mellow.
Nice navy style bottle.
Glass: Amber
Nose: What you need to expect, toffee, fruit, hint of spice
Mouth: Sharper than the 21, but liveliness balancing the sugar will appeal to some more than the mellower 21.
Burn: Gentle, sustained.

Probably not for whisky lovers, but I don't know anyone that did not like it.

Lots of banana and fruit. Quite sweet, but still a decent sipper.

Good, not great. Balanced flavors. Will drink neat but don't feel it's so special that I wouldn't be willing to drink on the rocks. Good "bargain" aged rum.

I just revisited this and at first sip- wow it's really good. After that it's just kinda a sweet mess of semi burnt caramel n oak w syrupy sugar body. It's worth trying if u never had it but I didn't like it as much my second time around. My opinion has changed and I think ED 8 year might b their best I've had at this point. Mind you my preferences fluctuate from sweet to dry, back and forth.
