The review from London show - where Substation41 won best rum in the world 2020 still applies: "Substation No. 41 comes with 37% ABV and is amber in colour. This dark rum is clear in clarity with a nose that starts on rich vanilla and toffee-like note, followed by an aroma of fruit cake & plum pudding. You’ll notice a tight oak note and even a hint of white pepper. On the mouth, Substation No. 41 opens up to butterscotch and light oakiness revealing hints of liquorice, fennel, cinnamon, apricots and honeysuckle. It finishes on a good length with a warm pepperiness. Substation No. 41 can be enjoyed neat or can be spiced up with ginger beer and a slice of orange, topped with some cracked pepper." So yes, still the base ingredient in the elixir of life!

I’ve been a rum drinker for over 60: years and I find this rum an excellent choice with only ice added. No need for other additives.
