Source snapshot: September 29, 2026
WHAT PEOPLE REPORT
This listing displays 4.5/5 from 118 reviews. Visible customers praise it as a sipping rum and describe a smooth impression, while others find the sweetness too pronounced.
WHAT TO WEIGH
The visible examples date from 2021–2022. We are reporting subjective sweetness, not adopting reviewers’ unverified claims about ingredients. This exact listing is currently shown as unavailable.
SECOND-SOURCE CHECK
Master of Malt shows 4.0/5 from 107 reviews for its 70cl, 40% listing. Sweetness is also a dividing point there. The separate retailer averages are reported separately rather than combined into a new score.
THE BRUNCH GOD TAKE
Check whether you enjoy sweet-leaning rum before relying on the high average. Confirm the current bottle and availability locally.
METHOD & SOURCES
Crowns reproduce the named customer source’s displayed average and rounding. This is a review roundup, not our firsthand visit or tasting. We keep customer pools separate; brand descriptions are identified as such.
