Almost everyone seems to disagree with me, then again almost everyone seems to like being clubbed over the head with vanilla.

Whether you prefer it neat, on the rocks, or in your favorite cocktail, this rum is sure to impress even the most discerning connoisseurs.As for me, I was defeated by the vanilla flavour which to my palate became cloying over time to such an extent that I actually avoided completing the final tastings of this rum which caused the review to be delayed by a good stretch of time. Here, all of the flavors pretty much survive the addition of some ice, with the only exception being a slight reduction in the sweetness. I tried lots of ice which helped to bring the sweetness level down but, I still tasted nothing but Vanilla.

Update: The rum has now been reclassified (by me) as a spiced rum due to the overwhelming vanilla profile…and the fact that it’s now acknowledged as being added-to. You'll gain exciting insights into the market value of your collection and how individual bottles are developing (updated weekly). The downside of this is that beyond the candy of these spices, it takes a real expert to taste anything else: try as I might, I could not discern more than butterscotch, vanilla and caramel and some very faint traces of what may have been orange.
