Beverage Tasting Institute gives this a 96 points with lots of flavor descriptions. I’ll add that this is one of the drier rums. It’s not as dry as Havanna Club, but on the dry side. I’d put its sweetness between Havanna Club and Zacapa. I like this rum because it’s not super sweet. Usually extreme sweet is to cover up a lack of flavor and harsh alchohol. A definite recommend. If you want a little sweeter grab the Zacapa. A little more sweet and with more vanilla, try Kaniche. After that you’ve moved into the sweet rum area.
