Though some may seem to scoff at a “5” a look down on that score, this rum is great at what it’s meant to do. That is of course be a workhorse in cocktails and that is what the majority of this bottle has gone to. Though it comes in at 40% abv, if you approach this with a fresh palate it brings quite a surprising amount of flavor even at its pedestrian bottling proof.
