My Review: This was the one bottle of alcohol we carried across the border duty-free, and I bought it based on a different variety I'd tasted a year earlier during a trip to St. Croix (Cruzan Velvet Cinn). Both rums were made with Horchata, a cinnamon-rice-milk-based non-alcoholic drink of Latin/Spanish origins I believe, and both rums were delicious on their own or mixed. I had this drink over ice, and added a bit of milk to make it smoother to drink.
On the nose, my concoction definitely had the scents of cinnamon and vanilla, and the first sip was creamy and warm. The more I delve into this, the spicier it became, leaving me with a heated, coffee-reminiscent aftertaste. I had this drink without food. Compared to Velvet Cinn, I think this one has too much alcohol-flavors while that one masked it well, and I'm still looking for places to buy my Cruzan rum, which has been virtually impossible to find since leaving the island.
