"The nose is quite strong from the moment you open the bottle, bringing forth the traditional Jamaican “funk” of overripe bananas. In time, crisp apple notes and just a hint of leather appear through the ethanol vapors. The palate is dry, bracing, and very fruit-forward, turning grassy toward the end. This rum, at 126 proof, is obviously not intended as a fireside sipper, but rather is a vehicle for adding a wallop of hogo and alcohol to tropical cocktails. In that regard, it does a bang-up job." - Matt Pietrek
