     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.

     6,8:On the nose, there is a basic similarity to his younger brother-10y.We have strong, almost Madagascar vanilla, viscose butter and certainly some nice, smooth caramel and a very light coffee note.Airing brings more concentrated vanilla/caramel dimension, with toasted coconut and wood and sweet spices. In comparison to his younger brother, this rum is more smooth and rounded. 7,5:On the palate, it is only slightly sweet, characterized mainly by a caramel aroma, vanilla, spice, some fruitiness-peach and subtle hints of wood.Let s not forget buttery notes of creme brulee, tiramisu. There is no alcohol burn, except maybe for rum beginners. 7:The moderately long finish again features caramel, vanilla and is smooth..

     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 😊
