“Die Erwartungshaltung ist nach dem Review auf whiskyfun.com schon sehr hoch - und damit bereits in etwas unfairen Dimensionen unterwegs. Nein, wir bewegen uns hier nicht auf dem Niveau der Demerara-Königsklasse, wie das Alter, die Pfeifentabaknoten und auch das tiefe Mahagoni im Glas erhoffen lassen (zumindest schlummerten diese Gedanken in mir). Aber wir haben trotzdem das ausgesprochene Vergnügen mit einem ausdrucksstarken und sehr ansprechendem Rum, dessen imposantes Alter keine störenden Bitternoten einbringt, sondern zur aromatischen Dichte beiträgt. Dabei gewinnt am Gaumen die an Paxarette erinnernde Süsse zunehmend die Überhand über das in seinem Ursprung vermutlich überschaubar komplexe Destillat, was einerseits bedeutet, dass wir hier nicht in den absoluten Olymp vorstossen, andererseits aber immer noch auf extrem hohem Niveau unterwegs sind. Summa summarum: Ein sehr ansprechendes Release, das sehr viel Spass anbietet.”

“In der Nase Erinnerungen an heiße Schokolade. Sehr intensives Aroma - trotz den 46.7%. Am Gaumen dunkel, röstig und richtig lecker. Recht süß, fast schon zu viel. Hinten raus fehlt etwas die Komplexität. Spannender und außerordentlicher Rum (50 Jahre alten Kubaner bekommt man nicht oft ins Glas). Für eine Top-Bewertung fehlt aber etwas Tiefe und Komplexität.”

“Exciting rum! On the nose I have cane sugar, lots of coffee, light plum. The palate is dominated by coffee, caramel, meat, tobacco. For the 46% surprisingly much body with a long finish. I am bothered by the meat note, though. Also, I'm skeptical that the rum isn't a bit sweetened. In addition, I wonder where you suddenly get a 50-year-old rum at such a humane price as a rum bottler not known. Lastly, the question of which distillery this rum should come from?! A bit many question marks...”
