Wow, this surpassed all the notions I had about this rum. Im normally not the biggest fan of rums from the DR, or so I thought. This cask is excellent. Its filled with tropical fruits, spices, a touch of cherry cough syrup, and some nice dark chocolate notes that tie it all together. It’s quite the cask from Roaming Road, and my favorite from them that I have tried so far.
