Very close to Dark 'n Stormy. Simple and nice. In my opinion better with spicy ginger beer.

Nothing kind of drink. Inoffensive, except for taking a classic Motorhead track in vain. Would benefit from some flavour.

Agreed. Lacks the sweetener, however its good for people who shy from adding sugar.

It’s ok… I’m surprised you get any carta Blanca through the other ingredients. Not sure given so many choices it’s any more than a tick in the box. Both the mule and Cuba libra rate above this IMO.
