Yeah, not a fan of this one. New American Oak does not play well with this distillate. They are fighting for dominance and the flavors end up being muddle in a way that is not enjoyable. Heavy bitter tannins make me wish the finish was much shorter. Any of the nice flavors I expect from a cane juice rum is buried under the oak. I was excited to try this but it is so disappointing.
