As a sipping rum (on its own no ice) it is certainly not my idea of smooth. In the mouth it burns like a fairly young mixing rum. Rough around the edges and quite harsh. Unusually, it has a lot of oak and tobacco tones. It is initially very sweet on the tip of the tongue but it soon becomes very bitter. At 40% it is quite strong for a spiced rum and the finish is very hot with a lot of alcohol burn. When a cube of ice is added (okay I’ve added 3 and another good slug of the rum) it does certainly mellow out the bitterness, reduces the alcohol burn and bitter aftertaste considerably.
