Malecon 18 Years - Reserva Imperial
Most enjoy its soft sweetness, vanilla and easy drinkability. Critics find it thin, short and low on complexity. Consensus: a decent, comfortable 18-year for casual sipping, not a flavor bomb.
Those who like soft, sweet, easygoing rums with vanilla and caramel, want a smooth 40% sipper, and care more about comfort and age statement than intensity or funk.

Comfortable, sweet 18-year everyday sipper

Enthusiasts seeking high complexity, strong aromas, or drier unsweetened profiles; anyone who dislikes noticeable sweetness or finds light-bodied rums boring.

Bin nicht enttäuscht worden. Malecon steht für runde Rums. nicht gesüßt, kernig eben. hervorragendes Preis Leistungsverhältnis. war meine 2te Flasche von Malecon. Nachtrag heute nochmal getastet, der Unterschied zum 25 jährigen ist doch größer. Der 25jährige ist komplexer, beide Top Rums
Nez assez effacé, fade, bien plus agréable en bouche. Tous le contraire du 15 ans
With a medium to long finish it still manages to surprise. Fruity with oak and a lightly smoky touch. Price to quality is very good.
Very pleasant to drink. Not too sweet and nicely complex for the price.
