    "Rum for whisky drinkers. Heavy on the American Oak/bourbon cask. But well done. Good and strong flavours. And that from the same stills that give us that sugared Zacapa and Botran. This is so much better."

    "Blind tasting: clearly a Spanish nose - but one of the more complex ones: dark roasted coffee and almonds, chocolate, caramelized or almost burnt sugar. Dried dates and apricots can be found on the fruit - a good start. The palate has a medium body characterized by a strong - perhaps a little too strong - barrel influence. A slight sweetness at the beginning, tobacco and some of the aromas from the nose. The finish has a small drawback, as it is unfortunately a little too short for me, but pleasantly dry and slightly bitter. I suspect this to be a medium-aged (10-13 years) Central American with 52-54%, with a very strong tendency towards Belize. Guatemala would also be a possibility here, or a slightly older Panamanian with >18 years. In any case, a great Spanish rum that I really liked. If it is a rum from Belize, I am very curious to see how these rums will develop in the future. 81 points"
