Arehucas Añejo Reserva Especial
Pleasant, sweet, with caramel and gentle buttery notes.
Mostly sweet with caramel and vanilla driving the experience, Arehucas Añejo Reserva Especial is approachable but divisive—"not bad rum... pleasant, but nothing exciting." One to try if you enjoy an easygoing, sugary Spanish-style rum.

How does this rum taste?
- nicely rounded palate
- pleasant to sip
- good rum for the price
Arehucas Añejo Reserva Especial leans heavily into caramel, vanilla, and sweet, buttery notes, backed by whispers of oak and nuttiness. Several RumX members point out the rum's sweetness, calling it "Sladsi ale trosku ostrejsi" and “sweet with maggi notes". Some pick up hints of tobacco, chocolate, and even brandy, though a few describe it as "lightly sharp" and "a bit thin in flavour". While many agree it’s "pleasant to sip" (LukaŽiga) and has good value, others are clear about its "sugary" character and short finish.

"A very nice Spanish rum from a destillery making rum since 1884 and has been delivering to the Spanish Royal family since 1892. A ver refined rum with a nicely rounded palate. Clear taste of molasses, spices and tobacco. Very good at the price tag. "
"7:On the nose, we get oak spice and vanilla with lightly pungent baking spice (allspice, nutmeg and hints of cinnamon) and leather. Caramel and marzipan climb into the breezes and well as notes of banana and bits of bittersweet chocolate. 7,2:On the palate, this rum is lightly sweet with light caramel and chocolate flavours combined with leathery oak and vanilla. Baking spice (cinnamon and hints of clove) and dry fruit (raisin) add some complexity as does a taste of nougat and pungent tobacco. It is pleasant to sip with some higher citrus notes brightening the palate. 6,8:The finish is short, but it is smooth with ebbing flavours of chocolate caramel and fine oak spice.."
"An der Nase zum einem fruchtignussige Sherrynoten, aber auch brauner Zucker, geröstetes Karamell und Vanille. Im Mund süß, etwas rauchig, im Abgang würziger Honig mit süßer Orange. Dieser Rum ist nicht so gut wie sein 18-jähriger Bruder von Arehucas. Jünger, rauer, dünner und weniger Geschmack. Da lohnt sich der Aufpreis zum 18y auf jeden Fall."
