As we've seen it's a matter of personal taste but I really enjoy Blackwell Especially in Spievak and Aku Aku Zombies. I prefer it over Myers but not quite as much as Appleton 12 year if that helps. Plus it has a balanced price point. Personally I really enjoyed it's flavor. It didn't have quite the funk I expected from a jamaican but it had nice molasses,char flavor with subtle oak that lends a spiciness. It gets really mixed reviews from alot of reviewers. It's very much a love or hate rum I've noticed.

Hope it helps!

EDIT: I will say last time I really gave it a good taste was about a year ago. I'm not sure if they changed the recipe since then, so many people here seem to find it watered down.
