    How does this rum taste?

    Premium-look, dessert-style sweet sipper
    Who is this rum for?

    If you like sweeter Dominican-style rums like standard Barceló Imperial, this takes that profile up a notch in smoothness and presentation, but not in intensity or dryness.

    Not really suitable for

    Drinkers avoiding added sugar or seeking dry, complex, unsweetened rums that clearly express long aging rather than a soft dessert profile.

    Aroma

    Woody Caramel Vanilla Sugar

    Taste

    Woody Caramel Dried fruit Fruity

    Sehr runder aber auch komplexer ausgewogener Rum. Zugegeben ein wenig süßlich vor allem Vanille und Karamell dominieren. Es ist und bleibt ein toller Rum. Fazit: Sehr ausgewogen und preislich sehr fair.

    Auto-translated

    This is a premium rum with a premium price but it's not that great and sadly disappointed ... This did not taste like a 30 year rum at all The notes were basically oak and caramel massive disappointment for the price

    Auto-translated

    Duftet intensiver, als er schmeckt. Trotzdem herrlich komplexe Vanille- und Rosinenaromen, allerdings immer sehr zurückhaltend. Etwas Fassgeschmack, ein bisschen Eiche. Eine würdige Jubiläumsabfüllung, finde ich.

    Auto-translated

    Pretty decent rum and the price matches what you get.
