Not my first Louisiana rum, but the first one I sat down to review. I picked it up off the shelf because I love the bottle. #beinghonest I was pleasantly surprized by the balance and enjoyed it as a mixer. I wouldn’t think twice about gifting it to a friend.

I do tastings with a wide mouth rocks glass with a slight taper because I like the way it feels in my hands. I start with 2oz, neat, then add an ice cube to bring out subtler flavors and aromas.
