“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.”

“Update: You will probably not be too impressed with this ron the first time you sip it but when you actually buy the bottle and use it as a sipper the relative lack of added sugar compared to the more crowd-pleasing expressions from e.g. O&O will really start to be appreciated. I now like it more than my Quorhum 30 year even though I was sure of the opposite when I first got the two. There is a confidence to letting a rum stand on its own with less additives and I enjoy and appreciate that more and more each day with this rum compared to the Quorhum which serves as my other current Dominican easy sipper. Let yourself go through at least a third of this bottle and watch it grow as your favorite relaxed ron sip. Original review: I currently have a thing for Dominicans as my easy sippers. Pronounced vanilla note, goes down so easy you barely notice it (making it work well as background sip material while doing something else). But please, do not pay more than 65€ tops for this thing, and even that is pushing it in my opinion.”
