Reviews
Solid above-average Jamaican rum for ~$30. Worth buying as an easy sipper or mixer—widely available and a strong value play. Grab it if you like oaky tropical rums.
Nose: fruity (coconut, mango, banana, pineapple), brown sugar, toffee, light oak. Palate: barrel-driven (vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, dark chocolate), some tropical fruit. Finish: banana funk, pineapple, smooth. Balanced, oaky Jamaican rum with moderate funk.
