Rating: 5/10
A perfectly fine and acceptable rum, if not too exciting. Good base of flavors that is perfect for throwing in a glass to drink and enjoy, introduce others to rum gently, (unless you are a sadist like me and pull out the rumfire), and plays well in cocktails. I just wish we had the option to try this at a slightly higher proof like 46-48% abv.
