 Yep.  I was looking forward to it myself.  Not a fan obviously.  You know after my year off from any spirits (due to medical problems) - Black Seal was my first rum choice when I was able to resume -

 He didn't say if he was tasting the Trinidad or the Guatemalan version.  In a recent side by side of the two I did notice a slight bite in the Trini version.
