LVMH Cuba Ron S.A. Eminente Gran Reserva Edition No. 1 2013

9:On the nose this rum is intense, elegant and complex and round - the initial aroma of freshly roasted coffee, red fruits, and flowers gives way to a touch of honey and vanilla with a nice almost minty freshness. 9:On the palate, it is well-balanced, unctuous and deep with a fruity profile, driven by dried apricot and orange blossom with notes of sandalwood, hazelnut, and allspice. 8,8:The finish is silky, persistent, and sweet with the spicy character of Sichuan pepper, caramel, pine sap and saffron. Highly recommend this wonderful stuff. So young, so smooth and so silky-shortly:A superb summery sipper.

Danke RumX für das tolle Tasting mit Eminente.

Round, balanced and simply delicious. A real surprise that shows the strong potential of Cuban rums as complex sippers.

Bin von der Komplexität dieses ausgezeichneten Rum wirklich überrascht. Besonders der pfeffrige Abgang gefällt mir.

A fruity nose of yellow fruit, carambola and dried fruit, marked by wood but without excess, dried fruit with a herbaceous/floral edge. The palate is on cigar box (cedar), with dried fruit and yellow fruit in the background, but also wood and a very pleasant floral side. The finish is rather short, but cigar-box and floral aromas linger for quite a long time. A fine rum, pleasant to drink, and well above anything I've tasted before from Eminente. I particularly like its floral side.

Elegant, full-bodied and not uninteresting new Cuban. Overall, I think I personally like the 7 better in terms of PLV and mixability, as there is a little too much wood, tobacco and too much cognac influence in terms of taste. The aguardiente component, which you can definitely smell and also taste discreetly, is also exciting... But PLV is debatable here... Thanks to Torben for the sample!

A great rum for sitting by the fireplace. Rich flavor and aroma of molasses, vanilla, dried fruit. Smooth, oily, warming. Long finish of nuts in chocolate with caramel. Also a little barrel-aged.

Really tasty Cuban. Very round, nice sweetness, balanced profile with tobacco, oak, dried fruit, sweet coffee notes...a harmonious aroma spectrum without extremes makes for relaxed drinking at a great level. Great rum in a moderate price range.

Kneipe LiQ Bar Düsseldorf März 2025. Als nächstes ein Eminente. In der Nase ist er sehr holzig, aber Kaffee lässt sich auch gut erkennen. Am Gaumen überwiegt für mich dann der Kaffee, außerdem sind Holz und Honig erkennbar.

Very round and sweet. Balanced sipper.

J avais trouvé sympa la version 7 ans lors d une dégustation , mais il n était pas entré dans mes priorités d achat. Finalement j ai acheté à l aveugle le 10ans espérant trouver plus de complexité et profondeur (+d aguardiente + de vieillissement + d alcool). Il ne m a pas déçu et tient sa place de seul ron dans mon bar. Il se propose facilement à la fin d un repas

Very nice rum. Full body of a french oak with a hint of honey buy not too sweet. Long pleasant finishing

RumX Eminente Tasting 20.12.2023

Tasted during the RumX Eminente tasting. Appealing good Cuban rum. Much more expressive compared to the few other Cubans I know.

RX Eminente tasting on 20.12. The Ambar Claro pleases as an easy sipper, the 7-year-old Reserva scores with wood and spices, the Gran Reserva No.1 is even more intense and multi-faceted. It is also my favorite with the cigar...
