What a fantastic and strange rum. The Grand Arome shines through with those industrial and kind of sweaty athletic gear notes (strange but that’s what it reminds me of) but the heavy fruits and pink bubblegum help carry it to great heights. This is one that while awesome, you don’t need very much of at a time given its such an intense flavor experience.
