This is some great rum from Nicaragua! Great find! I will have to check our TJs for it.

Fremont TJ's has the label on the shelf and it says 130th anniversary 40% abv for $39, but the actual bottle on the shelf is the Añejo Oro which is their 4 year, gold rum, 40% abv and it's in a fairly standard bottle, so not the right stuff, which should be 45% abv.

For those who have found it, was it the gift box style packaging? What location? I may try to hit up another TJ's later if I have time.

The correct bottle comes in the purple gift box. They must have put the wrong bottle above that tag.

This is a lot like Costco Signatory or any Signatory Single Malt imho - hope it's good but pretty much isn't.

I've had a decent amount of aged rum, and I think Flor de Caña 12 and 18 drink way better than this. It's pretty hot at 45% abv and does not drink smoothly. It's aged in bourbon and I love bourbon but I don't love this. It's worth $40 but definitely nowhere near its retail price. If you have snobby friends who only care for the number of years aged on a bottle and fancy bottling, this is a great bottle for them. I do not consider this a SlickDeal. I've had private label bottlings of blended rums in the 8-12 year range that blow this out of the water in complexity. It's interesting for what it is but not super compelling imho.

My n=1 $0.02.

For our education, can you categorize some top tier rums and some great bang for your buck rums?

Got one last night in Santa Barbara, while on vacation. The cashier seemed surprised they had such a nice looking box and bottle.
