Decent rum, but a bit heavy on the oak. So tannic that it teeters on acerbic. The tannins lessen as it sits, so I'd recommend pouring a glass, and letting it sit for a while. Do that, and you are rewarded with vanilla, butterscotch, and baking spices. The finish is pleasantly fruity, something like pears and cherries. I like this rum, but I think it would benefit from a secondary aging in a less active cask. I'd also be interested to see what this rum is like at cask strength.

Woody nose. Very approachable. Mildly sweet with a dry finish.
