    How does this rum taste?

    Folklore Creación is a 16-year-aged rum crafted at the Licorera Cihuatán distillery in El Salvador. Bottled at cask strength with 53.1% ABV, this limited edition rum impresses with its rich aromas of vanilla and caramel, complex woody and spicy flavors, and hints of dried fruit and mango. Users appreciate its bourbon-like character, comparing it to fine Demerara rums, while noting its maturity and balance without excessive sweetness. Independent bottler Christian de Montaguère’s selection offers a subtle yet bold drinking experience, drawing favorable comparisons to premium rums from Barbados and Jamaica.

    It's not bad at all, with plenty of age and watts, but still not quite to my taste. There's a smokiness and peatiness that I don't like, as I'm usually looking for more acidity and sharpness. Tried it on the spot at Christian Montaguere in Paris and I recommend all rum lovers in the world to pay it a visit. Absolutely top-notch store in every respect.

    Ve vůni cítím sud a sladké tóny čokolády, kokosu a karamelu. Po napití příjemně překvapí absence přesladlosti, vyšší abv a propis sudu, což rum posouvá na chvost produkce značky. Připomíná barbados. Střední závěr.

    A very good, rather gourmand product where you can really feel the bourbon side with notes of mango and spices. Nice ron, nice surprise, not at all sweet!

    Už od prvního ochutnání jsem tušil, že někdo “klame tělem”, že to sice chutná jako Barbados, ale ten to není, ani uhlazená Jamajka. Ve vůni i chuti dost cítím dřevo - vyzrálý sud…je to typ rumu, co mi chutná..a má i příjemný závěr… Oproti ostatním rumům stejné značky už mi přijde jako “dospěly” brácha…není sladký, má víc % ale i tak je příjemný na pití a zakulacený.
