Would I buy a bottle? Probably not
Thoughts: A solid offering from FS, but kind of falls in line with a lot of their releases. It stays in its comfort zone and excels at what it does, but nothing is going to surprise you or blow you away. It’s like comfort food. This is great for sipping on when you don’t need to focus to get the most out of the rum. At $70 for a bottle, it seems a little steep.
