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.
