The aroma is warm and inviting, with rich, woody notes followed by tantalizing hints of coconut, vanilla, caramel, and roasted nuances. The palate mirrors the alluring composition, offering a harmonious balance of sumptuous caramel from nose to finish.

This rum has received mixed reviews from enthusiasts. Some appreciate its balance between fruity, roasted, and sweet notes, while others find it lacking in depth and complexity. The initial aroma is described as pastry-like with hints of exotic fruits such as pineapple. Despite the high ABV, the palate is considered light, and the flavors are noted to be simplistic, including dried fruit, coconut, wood, and spices. Some reviewers felt the alcohol was well integrated but still desired a more complex profile. Overall, it is viewed as a decent sipper with a warm, spicy finish but with room for improvement.
