“The Eminente Millesime 2012 not only met our expectations, but far exceeded them. With its aroma and flavor profile, it offers a fascinating and refreshing alternative to the often monotonous offerings of Cuban rums.”

“Beautiful nose. Glue, fresh, green apples, fruity, vanilla and caramel. Fine spice and orange peel. In the mouth a touch woodier, dried fruit and citrus. Good finish. Overall warm, powerful and very balanced. Very drinkable. A positive surprise from Cuba. More of it please!!! At the turntable: Arsenio Rodriguez and Chano Pozo. Thanks to Bonn!”

“So this is how a rum tastes that consists of 100% aguardiente (a first for a Cuban distillate, as far as I know). And indeed: Something comparable I had not yet in the glass. Blind I would not have been able to assign the rum at all. In this first tasting, I focused on finding differences between Batch 1 and Batch 2. And they are indeed there: While Batch 1 gets going right away fruity-floral on the nose, Batch 2 is clearly more timid, more discreet. On the palate, however, it's the other way around: Batch 1 tends to confirm the impression gained on the nose, coming across like a light rum in a summer meadow with a gentle breeze blowing over it. Batch 2 is different: While Batch 1 seems somehow slightly broad, Batch 2 is clearly more astringent and has more depth, more wood and tobacco. At the latter, you could perhaps recognize the Cuban DNA - but also only maybe. Overall, both are solid rums and which one is more palatable, is probably dependent on the day or what weight you attach to the olfactory impression. Because of the interesting transformation from the nose to the palate, Batch 2 is a point ahead for me today. As I said, a very exciting bottling of Excellence Rhum and La Confrérie du Rhum. But if one wanted to dare at least a geographical comparison: Both batches do not yet reach the long-stored consistently exquisite 98s from Sanct Spíritus ((Cuba).”
