Its very sweet, non burning rum. Some ppl may like it. I felt tooons of vanilla and caramel, maybe fried bananas. But i felt vanilla so much, that it taste to me like some chemical aroma which u add to the cake. So thats why myrate is just 5. Here are better rums. (bottle is nice)

How do I start. Confusion is the word that comes to my mind. After two tastings still don't know what to think. Very, I mean VERY sweet smell of bananas and allmost no alcohol. Judged by the smell you'd think it's a liqor. Drinking it you recognize rum at the very end only. A little burn and very thin legs. Strangely enough I still like it but I don't no exactly why. Maybe it's psychologically because the bottle is a jewel. I repeat, the bottle is the master of my cabinet!

Die Flasche sieht richtig gut aus. Piraten Style. War auch mein Kaufentscheid.
In der Nase: Frucht ? GrΓΌner Apfel ? Nein jetzt eindeutig Banane !
Im Gaumen: Alles Banane !
Abgang: ? Was wohl ? Banane !
Sehr wohl ein sΓΌffiger und sehr sΓΌsser Rum, natΓΌrlich nicht nur Banane, auch Vanille, Karamell und mehr sind mit allen Sinnen zu erfahren.
Eher als Dessert Rum zu trinken, 35 % Vol.

The bottle looks really great. Pirate Style. Was also my purchase decision.
In the nose: fruit? Green apple ? No, now clearly banana!
In the mouth: All banana!
Finish:? What? Banana !
Very much a tasty and very sweet rum, of course not only banana, but also vanilla, caramel and more are experienced with all senses.
More likely to drink as a dessert rum, 35% Vol.

Had two drinks of this, one straight up, one mixed with Coke.
Couldn't get past the sickly sweet smell of bananas and toffee in either case.
Some may like it, far too sweet for my palate....rum should taste like rum, not a banana dessert

What I like most when I look at my bottles is when I can call for a particular drink, such as I want a "bumbu and coke". Meaning that the rum itself has such a distinct flavor I can discern it from the others. That's what a truly good rum should be able to do. This rum is deep complicated and rich in a flavor not like anything I have had before kind of flavor either. Something like a banana-cinnamon. Now the only reason keeping me back from 10/10 is the fact it isn't 80 proof. It's 70 proof. Which makes it cheating a little compared to the other rums so I knock a point off. Extremely smooth. This could probably be used as a contact solution no problem, it's just that smooth. Extremely high value for price. Would recommend in any drinking combination.

Light aroma with a vanilla tone. Sweetish but nice flavor with a good finish and no burn. It is very good for mixing, but sipping is nice too

35 percent alcohol by volume. Some vanilla, spice. Not much complexity, but okay to sip neat chilled or on ice, or in a cold mixed drink. A bit too sweet for my taste.

Too sweet, too much banana and vanila taste. Overpriced, but still gives interesting taste in mixes with cola or sprite.

Was a little sceptical before buying. But it really surprised in a good way. This is very sweet. Might be too sweet for some. if you're new to sipping rums or sipping alcohols, this could be a good starter

I tried this rum at the beginning of my rum exploration phase, and it's far too sweet for my preferences. The banana flavor is so strong it's almost like a banana flavored laffy taffy candy. It isn't repulsive, but it's certainly not something I would actively pursue.
