    The 2010 East Village Rum, distilled from molasses in the Dominican Republic and aged for 12 years, is a cask-strength release bottled at 50.4% ABV, with only 60 bottles available. Users describe its nose as featuring young wood, toffee, and vanilla. The palate offers notes of chocolate, vanilla, and spice, with a saline touch and hints of licorice. While some appreciate its traditional Dominican profile and rounded flavors, others note that its alcohol integration could be improved, with an overall lack of depth and complexity.

    "Above average Spanish style rum. The alcohol is not ideally integrated and bites a little. On the palate, an interesting combination of chocolate and salt. Nice, but I personally lack the depth and creaminess."

    "Un rhum hispanique relativement supérieur à ses confrères, mais qui a besoin de temps pour s’ouvrir. Le nez est tourné vers les épices (vanille, poivre, piment), le chocolat, le boisé qui est assez léger, les fruits secs, le caramel et une touche pâtissière. Malgré tout, l’alcool est assez présent dans les narines. Viennent par la suite de légères notes herbacées, plutôt inattendues. Un profil plutôt nerveux qui a besoin de se détendre. En bouche, c’est un rhum assez léger, terne et fade qui se dévoile petit à petit. Le chocolat, le caramel, les épices (vanille, poivre, réglisse et sel) font la part belle du palais avec quelques fruits secs, mais cela s’arrête là. L’alcool demeure présent, piquant légèrement le palais, mais se révèlant moins envahissant qu’au nez. La finale est extrêmement courte, sur des notes globalement similaires. Le chocolat noir, le café et les noix sont plus marquées, mais ne permettent pas de prolonger la longueur en bouche. Un rhum hispanique plus authentique que la plupart des rhums de ce style, mais qui manque de raffinement et de profondeur pour concurrencer les autres styles."

    "auch nach längerer Standzeit eher verhalten an der Nase. Ich mache Piment, junges Holz, Vanille, ein wenig Toffee und leichte grüne (vegetabile) Noten aus. Am Gaumen Fass, würzige Noten, Schokolade. Angesichts der hohen Erwartungen aber doch nur Durchschnitt. Da gefallen mir manche Oliver&Oliver Abfüllungen aus der DomRep (wie der Ron Esclavo XO, Cubaney Centenario oder Tres Hombres) besser."

    "Ein klassischer spanischer Stil von mittelmäßiger Qualität! Der Alkohol ist nicht sehr gut eingebunden, am Gaumen kommt er dennoch leicht und dünn daher… es fehlt ihm an Tiefe und Komplexität Da gibt es deutlich bessere, obwohl mich dieser Rum-Stil bislang nicht überzeugen konnte"
