Review: Amazing rum - Bought it, as it was an overproof rum which seems quite hard to find on desertcart. The vanilla flavour it has and the nice aftertaste make this some of the best rum I've had, considering I've previously spent as much as £150 on a bottle of rum, this one certainly is better for the cost than that. Not the cheapest drink, but if you enjoy drinking rum this one is worth a go.
Review: Gift wrap not great - Dislike the wrapping as a Gift wrap it was Just in a big grey bag and the big was too way to big

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing rum
*by J***E on 2 December 2021*

Bought it, as it was an overproof rum which seems quite hard to find on amazon. The vanilla flavour it has and the nice aftertaste make this some of the best rum I've had, considering I've previously spent as much as £150 on a bottle of rum, this one certainly is better for the cost than that. Not the cheapest drink, but if you enjoy drinking rum this one is worth a go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift wrap not great
*by M***H on 11 December 2020*

Dislike the wrapping as a Gift wrap it was Just in a big grey bag and the big was too way to big

### ⭐ Really Poor Quality Rum at this price point..definitely not for sipping
*by S***R on 4 March 2023*

Thought I'dThought I'd give this a go after a recommendation as I love my rums and was so disappointed. At the current price of £70 its competing with my favourites and this is miles off... Firstly it has a poor quality screw top, all others at this point have corks so that was a bit of a clue. To drink it was really harsh, horrid after taste and definitely not suitable for sipping, only really as a rum punch ingredient. I would compare it more to a cheap supermarket own brand rum.
