“Most people wants to find rum with good value for money. Well, here it is. It’s very hard to find anything better for this amount of money. The only one I found is the English Harbour 5yo. It’s a blend of separately aged rums in ex-Bourbon barrels distilled from Coffey and pot stills. After blended it’s aged for six months more in oak vats. The average age of the blend is 5 years. There’s really something special with its flavours and nice afterburn. After what I have heard it’s the most consumed rum in St. Lucia. So it can’t be more karibik. This is a very good everyday rum to a very low price.”

“Pretty good value for money. There is a decent little funk to this Rum and notable molasses. But it is a little harsh drunk neat. A very nice mixer though, also for Cocktails, like here in a Port Au Prince (St. Lucia adaptation😄)”

“Considering the price, you get a lot here, with delicious and round flavors. However, I think the rum is too thin, which affects the mouthfeel in particular. Therefore a recommendation for cocktails or for beginners.”
