This was one of the first aged rum I tasted and definitely the first Cuban styled. So now many years after I’m quite sure that that affected my rating. Have to get it a second chance if I run into it.

Thus rum originates from Cuba but destilled and matured in the Domenican Republic today, following the old Cuban methods to the point. Beginners may want to add an icecube when enjoying this rum. It is a rum in the cheap end so don't expect too much 😊

One of my favourite rum in lower price range. Very well balanced. Suitable for casual drinking and as premium topping for cocktails.

Nose: Alcohol and wood along with spicy notes. Taste: Semi-sweet, taste of burnt sugar with bitter finish. You can mostly taste the wood with candied fruit and vanilla although the taste is not intense and rather seems diluted. Finish: Very short. Overall I am not impressed and can think of dozen rums in this price tag which are much better in terms of value against what you get for your money.

Ein Alltagsrum, der pur und auch gemixt gut zu trinken ist! Er ist nicht besonders komplex, geschmacklich eher eindimensional!

Noch ein wenig zurückhaltend an der Nase, weiß er am Gaumen zu gefallen. Bei dem Preis sicherlich außergewöhnlich, weshalb man mit einem Kauf wenig falsch machen kann, wenn man Süßrums mag.

Für Abende, an denen man etwas "weiches" braucht. Pur getrunken, ein relativ milder und weicher Rum, leichte Vanille, einfach nur rund. Einer meiner Lieblinge. Zu vergleichen mit seinem dominikanischen Bruder Ron Barcelo Imperial Dominicano. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen.
