Rating: 4/10

As far as neat tasting goes, this is just not bad. It has a nice approachable flavor, and its over the base 40%. It brings a hint of Jamaican. But for an overall neat sipping profile, it’s a little to safe for me. I can see it working for its intended use in cocktails very well and from my understanding it’s a very approachable price point. But, these are my reviews and thoughts and while this is fine, I don’t think it’s a product for me per se. Overall, its like a faint tease of a little more interesting flavor, but it toes the line of neutral just a hair too much for my liking.
