Drinking neat it is not amazing but when you'd compare it to a rum like bacardi white or Flor de Cana white it is much smoother and has nice cane notes. The nose is also much improved over those. This is a great choice for traditional mojito's or a daiquiri.

It is not very complex, but overall a smooth sipp with nice sweet caramel notes. The aroma is average. I would choose this over Bacardi 8 without a 2nd thought any day of the week.

just alcohol, almost no flavors, really not great neat, use it as mixer ...

Very spirity taste at first but with nice funkiness coming right after. I have only tried it straight so it kicks like a mule but i bet with a bit of dilution it is an amazing sip and even better in a daiquiri.

Revisit: 8->9 I love this rum, it takes some getting used to but now I'm hooked. Use a splash in any rum mix to kick up that rum funk flavour instantly. Works well in milk clarification cocktails too. I tried it in Wray & Ting, but I wouldn't say I liked the matching of flavours as I felt the funk somehow got lost. I love it in my new favourite mai tai recipe: 1 oz Plantation Original Dark, 0.5 oz Wray & nephews, 0.5 oz El Dorado 8 years, 0.5 oz Pierre Ferrand Orange curacao, 1 oz orgeat, 1oz lime juice

waiting for the steak and enjoying FDC with truffle popcorn. great nose right out of the gate....smelling vanilla and toffee. taste was equally as pleasant now introducing some spice and a bit of alcohol. finish was a pleasant warmth that lingered. that coke never got close to the glass. this is a great sipper and a good example of what I enjoy drinking and continue to look for. Recommend! cheers

Spicy aroma, spice up front on the flavour with a smooth alcohol burn, fading into a big vinuous warmth

Nice mix of flavours and spices, very deep dark colouring, great with ginger ale and comes in a stunning bottle showing a map of the Black Country and Birmingham canals. Alone it can smell and taste very strongly of alcohol, but get an extra point for being from my ends.

A nice rum, nothing spectacular, not sure what the smooth taste that the ‘volcanic aging’ claims to add. But there are far better FdC rums. Not much info about in this, no age details either and only seems to be sold in airports

Nagyon kellemes rum, az alkoholfoka picit lehetne magasabb... (45-47%)

Its a bit 'hit you up front with alcohol' but after that it almost mellows with honey and finishes with wood and leather. Glad I tried it but the the Caribu Solera I drank the night before was obviously a touch better, yet more expensive. Good if money tight.

I have tried this rum in a few drinks, neat, rocks, and even as a float for a mai tai…

It does not have the fun Jamaican funk and the taste is off putting. Wouldn’t recommend and the bottle I have should last a looooooongggg time…

I can sip this and make drinks with it which is high praise for any rum!

A nice sweet and Jamaican funk balance with a hint of oak. Not particularly complex, but delicious!

Had this one recently and it is definitely rich in flavor and pairs well wilh do ner. Also good for sipping during the game.

The coconut is not artificial, also it doesn't taste too sweet. Balanced, good with pineapple juice in the hot summer evening.

Good, a little bit sweet, floral, light and fruity. Surprisingly good for czech rum. I got it as a gift from my brother and I am glad I could try it. Nice stuff.

Better than original heffron. More floral notes, less sweet I would say.

Generally I am not a huge fan of Jamaican rums, but the “funk” on this one is subtle and serves to add a bit of complexity. It is slightly sweet with some dried fruit notes. Not a bad sipper.

Not bad for a czech rum. Better than any slovak rum, a little bit too sweet though.

Le meilleur rhum épicé du Québec. Aucune raison d’acheter autre chose que celui-ci à l’avenir. Arômes de cannelle et vanille, parfait pour rhum & coke.

For shots, fine. But its too "nothing" to get mixed into a drink. I mean, it's not bad.

Bon rhum mais il y a des meilleures options dans la gamme de prix.

Captain Morgan is ringing in the holidays by blending Captain Morgan's typical taste with all the flavour of gingerbread spiced cookies for a unique experience.
Notes of ginger, cinnamon, clove, cocoa, nutmeg, molasses & cardamom highlight this flavoured alcoholic beverage, along with all warmth oh the freshly-baked notes, caramel and all very sweet as we expected .
On the palate is very well-balanced actually. It's a really nice drink. I get the cinnamon coming forward, I get a touch of cloves on there, but I get a little bit of pepper, it's that pepper kick that comes through that I think just rounds that off and makes it that, an exceptional kind of, sort of wintery drink.
The finish is sweet, spicy, rather short and weak, all quickly fading away.

7,5:The nose is very fruity and, above all, very resinous. It starts with fresh apples and pears, but quickly turns to sap, juniper berries and pine needles.With aeration, the resin doesn't weaken, and we find ourselves on the verge of gin. This extremely natural aspect is quite disarming, as we find ourselves very close to fresh wood. With a little rest, a mildly spicy sweetness settles in.
7,2:The palate is divided between the freshness and intensity of the resin, and a certain burnt, strongly roasted side. It comes out a bit bitter.The spices are fresh too, with hints of aniseed, caraway and, why not, cardamom. Some tropical fruits are there also, quite weak.Finally, the raw wood gives way to more familiar vanilla notes.
7,4:The finish takes us to the heart of a fruity, rather bold rum, still carrying strong juniper berry flavors.

Tried this on my last trip to Total. Strong alcohol start and finish. Works ok with Coke Zero, but I would choke on it neat. Just another cheap mixer, but still as good or better than Bacardi.
