A wonderful rich dark rum full of flavour. Great during the summer evenings relaxing.

40% ABV. Lots of alcohol on the nose, with caramel, molasses, and artificial aromatics. After a while, the alcohol fades and the molasses dominates. Molasses and vanilla dominate the palate. Short finish.

Tried it with ginger ale for a Dark and Stormy(tm), and it was pretty bleak. Just like the last time I ordered one at a bar. Might be good for baking, but not much else.

6, 6+

Not a standout in any sense, but it's a solid rum. Makes for a good time mixing.

I wasn't expecting to like this rum too much based on my mediocre review of the Gosling's Old Rum. But I think this is a little better than that one.

Smells and tastes of burnt caramel, toffee, butterscotch, spice, and vanilla. It has more overall flavor than the Old Rum. A good rum for the money.

Like many before have said before, best for dark n stormy. Make this cocktail and serve to new drinkers. The rum isn’t so strong that it would scare new drinkers and it still tastes great.

Like to sip it also with some ice, it's a standard rum for a sipper but not bad.
Perfect rum for a nice rumcocktail like a dark 'n stormy.

An average mixing rum just a little bit better than your mass market rums.

Man, this is the best taste out there for the price. And I know I'm not alone in my thinking, after sharing with a couple of friends I have converted them from Rye to Rum
