"It’s so bland that it’s really hard to detect the tastes at all and not even the rather high ABV shines through, but when trying hard it’s the sweetness and fruitiness that’s detected. Really nothing to write home about."
"The aroma and taste eye extremely low intensity. This rum is excessively diluted and seems sweetened to me, at least a little. I'm general, wood dominates the profile and it offers no real complexity."
"Leider eher enttäuschend. Es ist ziemlich schwer etwas nennenswertes über diesen Rum zu sagen. Sicherlich ist Fasslagerung zu erkennen aber kaum etwas vom Destillat selbst. Der etwas höhere Alkoholgehalt hilft da auch nicht."
"This is a frustrating rum. It has a quite good nose with very clearly identifiable notes of raisin, not bad at all. The very first taste is also good, nice and clear caramel, very good. Then the bad news, the strong alcohol burn completely erases any aftertaste and you are left feeling dropped off a really disappointing cliff after a promising start. This is a 30 year old by the solera system playbook (which is VERY different from a highly aged single barrel for instance) and it does have some good flavor potential, but the burn just torches any further development of flavor beyond the decent but far too quick first taste. A shame really. The high ABV was probably a mistake for this one."
