I am blown away by how good this is. I was not sure what to expect but the blend of the aged component and High Ester is amazing. The fruit flavors from what I presume the barrel ageing is pairs so well with the super funky high ester rum that it makes for a wonderful treat neat. I imagine this is killer in cocktails as well. The fact that this is 151 blows me away as it drinks well under its proof. Overall an excellent rum that I once again need in my bar.
