They have added this big brother to the 15 year old and it's much better. They're still not there yet though they hav managed to make this one heavier in the taste. I think the idea with this version was to try and challenge Zacapa and El Dorado, but they still have some way to go. For the price though, this is a good rum.
Iets te zoet.
8:On the nose, this rum begins with light caramel, butterscotch. Molasses and toasted wood then descend to deeper notes. Then tobacco and vanilla add a little variety to the profile. On the nose it is a very sweet, light rum, smooth and velvety. Aeration won't alter this profile, and the rum remains soft, like a tender caramel. The vanilla, too, is delicate. There's also a certain sweetness that leads us towards caramel candy. Resting gives the caramelized nuts and coconut time to spice things up a little. 8:On the palate entry is surprising, gripping the taste buds like a piece of toasted wood and later coconut.The rum is much less round than expected at first, for although the sensation is sweet, the caramel aromas are quite dry and dark. Then the rum softens again, with honey and vanilla and hints of roasted nuts and becomes very round. 8:The finish is soft and sweet, with burnt and roasted notes that linger on the tongue.. Edit:9.3.25-a tasty easy sipper
This is a good daily driver. Nothing special on the palate. The finish is quite short.
