Very smooth for a five-year old rum. Classy bottle too. Great for special occasions.

A real rhum agricole. A little bit spicy. A little bit bitterness. Interesting at the end.

Very thick mouthfeel, sweet and almost syrupy. Very dark in color, must have a bucket load of coloring. Easy and nice, but nothing to remember by.

Off notes. Seems either they are trying to cover up a poor product OR this is half way to a vinegar state.

This offering is simply middle of the road. Nothing outstanding... palate forward or back. I struggled to identify anything other than vanilla
I preferred the Paradise which adds cherry cask aging

Basically the rating says it all. This is not the grand reserva you are looking for. Probably better reserved for drinks. Otherwise the taste qualities are just not so well developed for enjoying neat.

You’ll have jt once and put probs not again (or should)

6,5:On the nose, we have a fairly simple rum with a hint of alcohol that quickly dissipates on notes of vanilla. The whole seems rather sweet, with hints of brown sugar, cooked sugar and vanilla. Nuts combine with this sweetness to evoke nougat. Then the smoky register comes in spectacularly, with roasted coffee and toasty woodiness. This woodiness then seems wetter, as if soaked in coffee, and then molasses comes into sharper focus.
Aerating the rum won't particularly alter the aromatic profile, except that it seems a little darker, blacker. The toasty woodiness now seems close to charring, as does the coffee, which is now nicely toasted.
6,5 :The attack on the palate is very light, even discreet. Roasted aromas, led by dark caramel, quickly take over the taste buds. This gives an astringent quality that once again recalls charcoal. Roasted nuts (walnut, hazelnut) add thickness before a wave of spice warms the whole mouth.After a while, when them rum is well oxidized, red fruits arise and mouthfeeling actually becomes quite pleasant.
6,0:On the finish, spices invade the entire palate, the strength of cloves and white pepper numbing the tongue just a bit, then they wane.

Can drink it wont be buying it unless it’s a tenna a bottle

Aye it’s good can do straight and with coke Dr Pepper is one as well

7,8:The nose opens with a light rum, both fruity-pear, pineapple, apple, passionfruit and floral, with fine woody notes. The oak provides a hint of roasting, delivering aromas of roasted, caramelized nuts. Mild spices like vanilla are enhanced by other fine spices.
Aeration takes us further into the wood fiber, with a very elegant American oak barrel. The vanilla and coconut are just right, delicately wrapped in a case of blond tobacco. The fruit has matured considerably, and is now reminiscent of mirabelle plums oozing with sugar or a sweet white wine-sauternes .
7,7:The palate is balanced from the outset, between toasty oak and marshmallow-like soft fruit. The palate is quite dry, sauternes notes linger on, even bitterness is noticed. Pepper and wood join forces on the tongue mid-palate, clove shows up. This liveliness gives way to a softer, vanilla woodiness.
7,8:The finish is roasted and delicious, fruity , with a hint of mocha.

This rum reminded me a lot of the plantation 20y anniversary edition, except this one has taste! It is a bit stronger when it goes doen, has a very nice sweet smell and a warmly after burner which is pleasant (like a high quality cognac)

Would recommended it sipping this after a nice dinner.

Starting to drink more rum options but this is always my go to rum. Good proof and good price

Dark and sweet. Nothing fancy but great taste for rum starters

A bit woody but not super smooth. Good for the price though! I usually like my Panamanian rums finished in a sherry or cognac cask but this is an everyday type rum. Cane Island has a wide selection of mid range rum Ive been working through. So this is a great way to spice up variety although it won't compete against higher end Panamanians.

Aroma - peach cobbler followed by apple crisp and lime peel

Taste - sour apple followed by bitter sugar and a leather finish.

Classic hangover generator. Made for cheap Cuba libres, the world over. Light Golden pour. Not a lot of endearing characteristics. Might ruin a good can of coke actually.

Fairly rough, but slightly better than Bacardi gold. Lots of tin. Light coconut, lots of booze. Zero flavour.

Didn’t think I’d find this in canandaigua ny but happy I did. Jimmy Buffet fans unite. Recommend on ice

Vzoreček díky české rumové komunitě.
Vůni zrovna moc necítím, díky rýmě z nachlazení.
Chuť technika, ředidlo s trochou máty. Máta se projevuje i později při poměrně dlouhém dojezdu a to dosti intenzivně, poté chuť přešla do desinfekce.
Pokud seženete za rozumnou cenu, neváhejte a kupte. Uděláte si radost.

Barcelo and cola was my go to for the whole holiday.

Bought on a whim, absolutely delighted! Not a sipper though; I like it with a good splash of cola, it is wonderful!

My affordable go to, great with Iced tea and a twist of lime!

I would rather drink water. Bacardi, all bacardi has a mouth feel that I vehemently dislike.
