After seeing the website it appears geared toward college drinkers (although the crew are lovely) so I'm dubious. Anyone care to give a review? If it's just an average rum with slick marketing, I'll pass. tried the Gold, was unimpressed. Tasted bland and lifeless, just a lot of heat. Actually, it tasted just like Bacardi. It is a nice rum for its price-point so I if you had it on your bar that wouldn't be a totally bad thing. I doubt you would use it much so if you are shopping for your drinks, pass. If someone gifts you a bottle because they think you will like it, thank them and then give them a tasteing flight and include a selection of other (better) rums. That is my two cents worth.
