Yeah this is a great rum. The HERR marque rum in here won the battle against the oak and beat it into submission. It’s still pungent and vibrant, though certainly tamed down by the ageing. It doesn’t reach as high as some of the other aged HERR’s for me, but considering how few that is, this will likely be the most accessible and affordable aged HERR released in some time.
