I had a chance to try that rum Ace, and i have to say it's quite good. My friend and i sampled some neat and we both enjoyed it, however neither one of us could taste any coconut in it. I have no idea what hibiscus smells or tastes like but it is floral (and pleasant) on the nose and has a strong floral taste, which lingers in the mouth. It has a bit of heat to it but is definitely smooth enough to drink as a sipper. I'm going to try it in a few cocktails tonight which i think it will work well in.
The only thing that stops me from buying it again is the cost. I like experimenting and trying different things and would rather put that $70 towards something i haven't had before, but if it was closer to $40-45 (the average price of a lot of rums available to me) i wouldn't hesitate keeping a bottle of on hand to use as a mixer.
