„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.“

„The taste is of licorice and roasted almonds and notes of hazelnut. This fresh and fruity flavor changes to a more sherry-like aftertaste“

„I would like to compare it with the Unhiq and I was kind of surprised that that it was not better. Still very pleasant and round experience with little bit more warm and rough aspects. I would like to compare it directly against its 15 years old variant. I think that the it not so big improvement after all with respect to the price.“

„Schöner daily Sipper und in Sachen Komplexität eine deutliche Weiterentwicklung zum 15 Jährigen Evergreen. Ist ein solider Rum den man dort geboten bekommt der aufgrund seines milden Auftretens auch für Einsteiger geeignet ist. Preis Leistung finde ich anständig.“

„The nose is rather restrained, we find mainly molasses with a touch of toasted touches. The nose is light and sweet on the caramel candy. And despite the 40%, it is a little alcoholic. The nose is rather pleasant. The attack in mouth is on the toasted woody. This nose is not too sweet as the nose foreshadowed, it is rather dry on the caramel. With touches of honey and vanilla. The finish is again sweet on burnt maple syrup and spices. At about sixty euro, it is an easy and pleasant ron to drink that should please neophytes.“

„Weiß durch noch mehr Nuancen sowie gesteigerter Milde im Gegensatz zum 15YO an Nase und Gaumen zu gefallen. Leider aber recht zurückhaltend an der Nase, was ihn Punkte kostet. Gefälliger, nicht allzu komplexer Sipper.“
