Solid rum for mixing and the only one I’ll use for a dark & stormy. This is not a sipping rum for my taste. Great molasses nose but heavy alcohol all the way down when sipped neat.

OK. Good for dark and stormy cocktails. But as a stand alone rum?? Without those other ingredients the rum alone is just dark........and tasteless......sort of a "dark and I don't want to drink any more". No thank you! This stuff is not up to par. Full stop.

Worked well for what I wanted which was an affordable accompaniment to coke. Tasted great but a little bit of heartburn followed. Overall though I’m looking forward to the rest of the bottle!

If you want a cheap, easy, black strap rum this is a pretty good choice! Best in a dark and stormy.

This rum, along with Plantation OFTD will make one of the best hurricane's ever! Modeled after the original Pat O'Brien's Hurricane recipe, this rum is the perfect addition.

I tried this neat, in a dark and stormy, and finally in a rum and coke, but I found it tasted "off" or sour. I love dark, treacly and/or bitter flavors, but I couldn't get into this. It starts off with a nice funky bite, but then fades into a sour, and therefore dour, flavor. Given its popularity, I will try again and see if I taste what everyone else is enjoying.

This one is strong on the vanilla! It might not be the best of rums but it is amazing value for money and goes great with Dark and Stormy's of course!

This is my go to black rum that doesn’t overwhelm other ingredients or rum when in a cocktail.

another rum that's great for mixing, one of my go to's when drinking rum coke, much preferred over the average bacardi, cap morgan (light,spice), havanna club offered in many places.
