Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Though this is a costly glass it's well worth the money and you should try it at least once in your life. This bottling is released in a limited number every year so there is always a chance to taste it. A perfectly balanced and complex rum from Havana Club. "

Top review from Jakob:
"Die Erwartungshaltung ist nach dem Review auf whiskyfun.com schon sehr hoch - und damit bereits in etwas unfairen Dimensionen unterwegs. Nein, wir bewegen uns hier nicht auf dem Niveau der Demerara-Königsklasse, wie das Alter, die Pfeifentabaknoten und auch das tiefe Mahagoni im Glas erhoffen lassen (zumindest schlummerten diese Gedanken in mir). Aber wir haben trotzdem das ausgesprochene Vergnügen mit einem ausdrucksstarken und sehr ansprechendem Rum, dessen imposantes Alter keine störenden Bitternoten einbringt, sondern zur aromatischen Dichte beiträgt. Dabei gewinnt am Gaumen die an Paxarette erinnernde Süsse zunehmend die Überhand über das in seinem Ursprung vermutlich überschaubar komplexe Destillat, was einerseits bedeutet, dass wir hier nicht in den absoluten Olymp vorstossen, andererseits aber immer noch auf extrem hohem Niveau unterwegs sind. Summa summarum: Ein sehr ansprechendes Release, das sehr viel Spass anbietet."

"Had a retaste and this time I had the right cigar to go with it and wow what a difference, this is truly a mix well worth a try even though the cigar is slightly expensive and hard to get. Just decided to crack open this wonderful bottle and I regret not having a Cohiba Piramides to go with it. I know it was made to match the Cohiba Siglo VI, but that is too heavy a cigar for me :-) A cooperation between master blender Asbel Morales and cigar sommelier Fernando Fernández and they made something out of this world. A wonderful deep and elegant masterpiece that has a long, warm and elegant balanced finish. A rum worthy of the price tag and then some!"

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"I was so lucky to try this one the other day and I found it to be so good that I have ordered one. A truly complex and well balanced rum in my mind and a true winner. Fruity with a touch of oak and sweet on the tongue. A true master piece ad I love the decanter, which looks very fragile. "

Top review from Zucker und Zeste:
"The Eminente Millesime 2012 not only met our expectations, but far exceeded them. With its aroma and flavor profile, it offers a fascinating and refreshing alternative to the often monotonous offerings of Cuban rums."

Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Compared to the parallel tasted RX930 clearly more accessible, here the lower alcohol content pays off times properly.The Bristol Cuban is a typical representative of the Destilería "Paraíso", light and fluffy and wonderfully fragrant and tasting of apple and pear.An ideal companion for a lively evening and quite offerable to friends who otherwise have nothing to do with rum.I would probably prefer the rum with 5-10% more alcohol, if he would bring the same flavors so beautifully to the fore, but he is also so a pleasant rum with recognition value."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"I have many of the really good releases from Havana and compared to them this one lacks some complexity. Not that it's a bad rum, the profile is nice and fruity with nice spices and caramel, but I would have loved some more punch."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This weekend was very busy because I've been building a new shelf system for my 250+ bottles so my Saturday and Sunday tastings haven't been added :-) I love Cuban rum because it goes well with Cuban cigars. This one has a long velvety finish. "

Top review from cigares :
"Un rhum à la robe très claire. Un nez plus complexe que ne laissait penser les 3 ans d’âge. De la poire, du poivre, des raisins. La bouche est un peu trop diluée sur le poivre, la poire encore et du bois jeune. La finale est courte, sur les piments. Une belle expérience pour un rhum si jeune."

Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"So this is how a rum tastes that consists of 100% aguardiente (a first for a Cuban distillate, as far as I know). And indeed: Something comparable I had not yet in the glass. Blind I would not have been able to assign the rum at all. In this first tasting, I focused on finding differences between Batch 1 and Batch 2. And they are indeed there: While Batch 1 gets going right away fruity-floral on the nose, Batch 2 is clearly more timid, more discreet. On the palate, however, it's the other way around: Batch 1 tends to confirm the impression gained on the nose, coming across like a light rum in a summer meadow with a gentle breeze blowing over it. Batch 2 is different: While Batch 1 seems somehow slightly broad, Batch 2 is clearly more astringent and has more depth, more wood and tobacco. On the latter, one could perhaps recognize the Cuban DNA - but only maybe.Overall, both are solid rums and which one tastes more, is probably dependent on the day or what weight you attach to the olfactory impression. Because of the interesting transformation from the nose to the palate, Batch 2 is a point ahead for me today.As I said, a very exciting bottling of Excellence Rhum and La Confrérie du Rhum. But if one wanted to dare at least a geographical comparison: To the long-stored consistently exquisite 98s of Sanct Spíritus ((Cuba) reach both batches not yet."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"I think it’s good, but not exceptional in any way. Both the nose and the medium long finish is quite weak. I think the “Seleccion de Maestros” is a better buy when considering the price, but it will anyway have its place on the Cuban shelf in my rumbar."

Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"At the second tasting I found myself surprised because I sensed new aromas on the palate. I was probably not at my best last time.A very pleasant rum with light barrel notes. Medium finish and albeit too low alcohol content. The low price plays in its favor. Cuban rums, and in Spanish in general, lack the courage to try stronger gradations."
