An approachable, Spanish-style Dominican at cask strength: caramel, wood and dried fruit meet coffee and spice. Reviewers enjoy the round sweetness, though several mention a shorter finish with bitter caramel.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the round, Spanish-style profile: caramel and new wood leading, joined by dried fruit and coffee. Distilled from sugar cane juice in 2008 and aged 17 years, this 60.8% cask-strength selection by La Maison du Whisky shows spice and a touch of nougat. Some note a shorter finish with bitter caramel. Limited to 225 bottles and already reviewed by 11 members, buyer confidence is building.

    #5719 27.09.2025 Day one of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is an OK release with a nice ans spicy palate. fruits, coffee and some light chocolate notes balance out the wood in the profile that also has a light leather touch.

    Un rhum dégusté au Whisky Live Paris 2025. Un nez auquel il manque un peu de complexité, mais avec des esters, de la vanille de bois neuf, un côté bonbon et du caramel. Des beaux arômes espagnols en bouche, sucrosité et caramel amer, réglisse, épices et bois neuf. Mais aussi des fruits et quelques esters. La finale est courte mais le caramel amer reste très longtemps. Un rhum dominicain qui sort du lot mais qui peine à me convaincre.

    Messetasting Whisky Live Paris. Eindrücke und Bewertung basieren auf unmittelbaren Eindrücken aus dem Tastingglas. Angenehmes, rundes Profil mit ansprechender Süsse und viel spanischem Aromatik.

    "First impressions of whisky tasting live 2025, a second tasting in a quiet environment will be needed to really validate or develop the commentary and the score". Nice discovery, fairly taut palate, red fruit, medium finish.
