It wasn't overpowered by the alcohol, and the flavors were complex. I'm going to make another tonight and spend some time examining it to see what I can discern. Also, I did find some Rhum Agricole at the local liquor store, but it's quite spendy. The few reviews I saw were very good, but that is not surprising for this price range.
