El Ron Prohibido Gran Reserva 15

Aroma brings out wood, vanilla, and coffee; the palate is sweet with caramel and woody notes. Most RumX tasters find it very sweet with pronounced artificial overtones—a divisive choice, but appealing to those who enjoy sweeter profiles.

Sweet coffee and wood, mild but strikingly sugary.

    "Edit: mich und die jungen Wilden hat er an der Elternparty dicht gemacht, zweck erfüllt, auf die Kopfschmerzen beim aufstehen So nochmal eine Flasche im Keller gefunden und nochmal probiert. Also ein Einhorn ist es definitiv nicht, aber wohl gut für eine Spende an die Jugend geeignet um sie ein wenig zu unterstützen. Damit verlässt ein weiter Rum/Ladenhüter meinen Keller, endlich 🤣"

    "Ziemlich starker Holz-, Kaffee- und Schokoladengeschmack von Anfang bis Ende. Das Holz ist mir definitiv zu stark, als ob der Rum zu lange in einem unbelegten Fass war. Der Alkohol schmeckt schwach und alles wirkt ein wenig künstlich."
