    How does this rum taste?

    What stands out to reviewers is the rum’s unmistakable old Cuban character, praised for its striking aromas of dried fruit, barrel, and vanilla. Most describe the palate as creamy with pronounced raisin, milk chocolate, and nuanced nut notes. Many enjoy this as a contemplative sipper, especially for fans of mature rums. Consistently rated for its balanced alcohol and integrated oak—worth discovering if you appreciate classic, aged profiles.

    Nose: wood, tobacco, vanilla, sweetness. Palate: very round, sweet, plum, tobacco, roasted aromas, wood, alcohol, sherry. Finish rather short. Overall, I was expecting more. Maybe it was sweetened a little or it has a sherry finish. Somehow I don't really warm to the Cubans. Perhaps they're not quite my favorite taste profile.

    After a long period of acclimatization, a very delicate, creamy impression comes to the nose. Barrel, rubber, caramel, nuts, dark fruits and tonka bean have the upper hand. Cubarum is not known for its intensity, but that would spoil the complexity here. On the palate, it is buttery smooth and has an ingenious consistency. Wood, dark caramel and rubber/machine fat are replaced by nuts, sulphur and leather, which then lead into great coffee/mocha flavors. Dates, raisins and milk chocolate accompany the whole. The long and delicate finish is characterized by barrel, nuts, leather and pleasant spices. It ends with chocolate, tonka bean and black tea. I love it when something smells and tastes completely different to anything I've tasted before and this worked perfectly here.
