As is generally the case for me, I find this to be an outstanding unaged Jamaican rum. Intense ripe fruit flavors, spices, a tinge of heat, and some funky cement and glue bring it all together for an intense flavor experience that is well balanced between sweet and savory. Excellent neat, and I suspect fabulous in a cocktail I wish I had a few bottles of this to play around with.
