This is a just fine release. It hits some of those notes you want in a rum that has been aged for a good length of time tropically, oak and bitter notes with a hint of sweetness. It doesn’t bring anything very exciting to the table, and I prefer the younger aged versions to this. Nice to sip on, but a bit too pricey for regular cocktailing.
