A very crisp, clean spirit, a strong rum, while very smooth. Too easy to sip this one neat. Nearly Bajan in style, this rum has a real kick to it but remains very smooth and offers a quick finish. Incredible offering even if not reduced incredibly.
I recently was able to purchase this rum at a close out from 29.99 a bottle to 9.99 a bottle (no price listed on sale). I bought one and noticed one of my clubs had it discounted to 9.99 without a sign noticing this... I had the first and went back and got the remaining 5 bottles.
There is also a spiced version that has been aged that I will sample as time allows. This one is a real winner clean, crisp, and pure.
