El Ron Prohibido Habanero Solera 12 (RX229)

El Ron Prohibido Habanero Solera 12 is a Mexican rum distilled from molasses using a column still and aged for under 12 years, with a 40% ABV. The aroma is characterized by caramel, barrel, vanilla, roasted nuts, and coffee notes. The flavor profile includes caramelized, vanilla, alcoholic, sweet, and raisin notes. Overall, users found it to be a fairly simple, fruity sipper that can also be enjoyed with cola and ice, but some found it too harsh for its age. The unique bottle design and aroma may be a draw, but the experience is mixed, making it more suitable for casual enjoyment rather than a tasting-focused experience.

„Maggi, Mokka, Würze, Sprit. Puh, die Nase ist eigenständig aber speziell. Leider dann ganz seltsam alkoholisch, würzige Süße, verbrannte Rosine. Mir macht der keinen Spaß, könnte aber in Tikis ganz lustig zum verschütteln sein. Nachtrag: Nein. Da taugt sogar der Bacardi Carta Negra mehr. Ich weiß nicht wie sich das hier am Markt halten kann. Verbrannt, zu süß und gleichzeitig sprittig.“

„Süß und würzig ist das erste was mir einfällt, dann rostige Noten aber alles in allem etwas unrund und dreckig. Für das Geld gibt es viel ausgewogeneres Zeug.“
