I use it all the time, it is my go to Jamaica rum.

it's great in a planters, it's great in a Hurricane, you can I use the dark for mugged drinks, I use the gold for glasses and punches.

It's SUPER funky, it's relatively cheap, it's the best old school JA rum you can get right now.

My second would be Smith and Cross but that is overproof, so you have to compensate for it a bit.

This rum is noticeable in cocktails.

I would recommend you get both the Demerara rums that Hamilton has put out, and both the Jamaicas, they are outstanding for mixing, and priced very well for the quality of the spirit.

I mostly free mix cocktails now, I have been doing punches with these with pineapple, grapefruit, lime, pomegranate, blood orange, various spiced syrups. Mixed with Barbados and Demerara and Spanish style rums.

It's outstanding go get a bottle now, before it's gone.
