How does this rum taste?
Arehucas Captain Kidd shows classic Spanish-style rum character with sweet caramel and honey notes leading the way. Oak is consistently pointed out, though the woodiness seems to vary, as Jarek notes, "Verschiedene Chargen?" while others felt it was "very dominant" (@Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰). The 30 years of aging brings smoothness, but some, like Jack M, call it "not very interesting," finding mostly "vanilla and sweet (honey) throughout." Approachable and gentle, but for several RumX members, "zu lange Lagerung tun diesem Rum keinen Gefallen" (@Tim).

The oak is very dominant in this 30+ year rum. In fact so dominant the most other flavours are covered up and it appears light. There is a bit og orange and caramel in there as well. Not a bad rum as such but the price is too high.
A rum from the early days of my rum passion. Today it is a little too sweet for me and could do with more power. Nevertheless, a delicious drop with a very pleasant nose. What I can't quite understand is the apparently exaggerated wood influence of the tasters. Mine has only light, pleasant woody notes on the palate and in the finish. Different batches?
This rum is stored behind bars (no joke) in the Arehucas Distellerie in Gran Canaria because it is valuable to its makers. A guided tour with tasting at the end is very worth it there. It has a great bottle and is very old. Unfortunately, the flavors do not leave much except wood, but it is very mild. Qualitatively high quality rum, but the too long storage do this rum no favors. For the price therefore not worth it.
To woody for my taste. For me not worth the price
