Rating: 5/10

This one is fine. It has some decent savory notes, brine, a nice minerality. But that Chlorine pool water note really brings it down for me. On paper, this line should be almost everything I want in a rum. But so far, none of these single varietals have risen above the kind of standard Uruapan bottling for me.
