    How does this rum taste?

    The Chapter 7 Cuban Rum, distilled in 1971 and aged for 50 years, offers an intense array of flavors like dark chocolate, tobacco, and dried fruits. Featuring a 46.7% ABV and limited to just 99 bottles, this rum presents a rich aromatic profile with sweetness that's noticeable but somewhat controversial among enthusiasts. It's described as complex yet lacking in ultimate depth, supported by notes of old leather, roasted elements, and a barrel influence. While praised for its impressive age and unique character, some users find the sweetness overpowering and the complexity slightly deficient. Discover this vintage Cuban spirit that captures both intrigue and some skepticism, reflecting the mysterious qualities of its origin and bottling process by the independent Chapter 7.

    Un rum spaziale ❤️

    A complex nose of dried fruit, nuts, prune and wet wood. The palate opens elegantly, with spicy notes and cracked old leather. Very full and round, but the aromas quickly disappear. The finish is clearly too short, which gave us the idea of blending it with Whisky Jury 1978, which is extremely successful, with a score (9.2) far superior to the two rums taken separately.

    The expectations are already very high after the review on whiskyfun.com - and thus already on the road in somewhat unfair dimensions. No, we are not on the level of the Demerara king class, as the age, the pipe tobacco notes and also the deep mahogany in the glass let hope (at least these thoughts slumbered in me). But we nevertheless have the distinct pleasure of an expressive and very appealing rum, whose imposing age does not introduce any distracting bitter notes, but contributes to the aromatic density. On the palate, the sweetness reminiscent of Paxarette increasingly gains the upper hand over the probably manageably complex distillate in its origin, which on the one hand means that we are not advancing to the absolute Olympus here, but on the other hand we are still on an extremely high level. Summa summarum: A very appealing release that offers a lot of fun.

    A very nice rum with impressive age. I was actually expecting more bitterness. But the rum has a little too much sweetness for me. Very enjoyable.
