This is pretty fun. There is a great taste I can't quite place. Almost a candy I have had before with a hint of rum maybe. It might be a little wrong, but I think this would make a great dark and stormy.

A pretty aceptable “mixing” rum, inoffensive so, you could try a sip if you’d like but, it’s so affordable that you’ll feel no remorse after pouring it with that cola.
Mellow flavour profile and can definitely taste a wooden note. Mixes very well to create a blend of flavours I find to be both enjoyable & relaxing.
Good basic rum. Sliiiightly better than Bacardi, a bit more expensive though. Solid taste without obvious flaws, but a bit boring to be perfect.
Definitely not as refined as a more established rum, but has a beautiful smokey taste to it, which by itself is worth getting.
Spicy heat. A touch sweet. Woody characteristic. Notes of coconut. Very cocktail friendly but pleasant enough neat.
