As with the other review posted so far, I found this to be lightly sweet but nevertheless surprisingly complex and full of flavor. It may not be the kind of rum that "experts" like to chew on and contemplate, but neither does it have the sort of alcoholic heat at the back end that takes the pleasure out of so many allegedly "high end" rums. This is a really enjoyable rum to sip after dinner, and seems to lend itself best to cooler weather -- not that it's "heavy," it just has that molasses/maple/vanilla character, combined with a gentle undertow of spices and alcohol, that seems ideal on a cooler evening. I've never cared much for what "experts" say, and I haven't seen many "professional" reviews for this product, so I'm happy simply to share that I think this is an excellent sipping rum, and a good value in light of its quality-to-price ratio.
I want to add that I've found dealing with the folks at Third Base to be a real treat. They made ordering and shipping easy, and they couldn't have been nicer. I'll be a repeat customer for sure -- you should, too.
