    This is one of the 3 releases of the XV and it's pretty good actually. The nose starts off with a lot of caramel, in a good way, then goes into candied fruits wit some oakiness to it. The palate continues with the fruits and some leather and spices. The Port cask is definitely there and I like it. The finish is medium to long, astringent with vanilla and sweetness to it. Price to quality is good.

    8:On the nose, aromas of vanilla, nuts (almond) and cherry are delicious. Classic caramel and tobacco are also present. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is soft but also intense and one might think that this rum is over 40°. Caramel, tobacco and nuts make up this gourmet profile. 8:The finish is long, with tobacco playing the leading role. Wood and almond try to take the spotlight, but are ultimately defeated..

    Oh wow, this rum impressed me. It has a lovely vanilla aroma on the nose, followed by spices. The palate also has a nice, slightly spicy vanilla flavor. Reasonable sweetness and well-integrated alcohol round off the good impression.

    Wow, amazingly complex! Beautiful depth, wood, bitterness, wine, sweetness, palatable.
