Rating: 4/10
Very pleasant. Good base notes, not too complex. Panama rum at higher proof and cask strength rocks as very good examples of no dosed column still rum. The biggest thing hurting this bottling is the low proof which hurts mouthfeel, finish, and depth of flavor. Overall, if you want something simple to throwback and enjoy without much thought, or maybe to introduce your bourbon friends to some non-dosed non-crappy rum this would be a good bottle for that.
