This is a very good rum. I won’t go comparing this rum to other rum releases I’ve had, as they have mainly been single still blends and the like. However, this is a very good blend of rums. The components work well together and the flavors are very nice. Nothing really stands out but you can pick a few things out here and there you could guess came from which still.
