This is some wild stuff, tons of vegetalness, savoriness, and just bizarre flavors. This would be off putting to some but I really dig this. It keeps you coming back each sip to find some new flavor, and it’s really well balanced. The still proof helps with the mouthfeel and to retain that flavor. With the $40 price points on these, it is really hard to go wrong with still proof, unaged, delicious rum. A real winner in my book.
