    Gold Reserve (Añejo) from the Bacardi distillery in Puerto Rico offers an intriguing sensory journey. Distilled from molasses with a column still at 40% ABV, it opens with enticing notes of caramel, dark chocolate, oak, and tropical fruit. Our community of rum enthusiasts appreciates its aromatic complexity, even as many note a thin palate and short finish that doesn’t fully capture its premium promise. The balance of burnt sugar with hints of tobacco creates an interesting contrast, making it a conversation starter despite some reservations.

    "06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!"

    "6:On the nose, the first impression we get is pleasant with tropical fruits, the wood gives us a caramel, it comes a bit alcoholic, there are also some apples, pears. 4,7:On the palate, the attack is thin, bitter and alcoholic with sweet, burnt sugar, a but smoky, there are some spices, fruits and a tobacco. 5:The finish is quite short and dry, alcoholic with burnt sugar, caramel, wood spice and citrus, tobacco.."

    "Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez vif avec du caramel, des fruits, un côté minéral et du végétal. La bouche est très décevante avec des arômes trop fins, de la douceur et un alcool bien présent. La finale est courte avec un alcool neutre à la fin et quelques arômes. Après un assez beau nez, le reste est très éloigné du rhum premium qu’il est censé être."

    "The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Etwas Fasseinfluss, Holz, Vanille, nicht so schlecht."
