Albert Michler Distillery Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863

Most enjoy its soft, sweet vanilla-caramel profile and easy drinkability; critics find it flat, overly sugared and a bit artificial. Consensus: decent, affordable starter rum for sweet styles, not for purists.

    How does this rum taste?

    Sweet, easy starter for sugar-tolerant palates
    Who is this rum for?

    If you enjoy Diplomático-style sweet rums, this will feel familiar: gentle, sugary, vanilla-heavy. If you’re moving toward drier, more complex bottles, you’ll likely outgrow it quickly.

    Not really suitable for

    Anyone avoiding added sugar, fans of dry/unsweetened or complex rums, and drinkers who dislike low-ABV, mild profiles that can feel flat or artificial.

    Aroma

    Caramel Sweet Vanilla Fruity

    Schöner Rum für alle Einsteiger. Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis.

    Ein süßes Aroma, schwach alkoholisch und scharf, leichte Fruchtanklänge. Ein angenehm süßer Geschmack, leicht ölig im Mund, leicht fruchtig, etwas Honig. Der Abgang ist sanft und mittellang, dabei recht süß.

    Revisiting after more than a year. Initial score 82 downgraded to 75. Overall still very pleasant rum eventhough its sweetened foursquare. Predominant is vanilla with milk chocolate, also a fudge or polish caramel candies called krowka in the taste and nose provides some hints of it too. Overall I think the people who seek sweet rums will love this one. I am a weirdo I like both sweet rums, but also the other side of spectrum such as ester rums such as hampden or monstrosities like paranubes. Revisiting: Direct comparison with 18 Solera from AM. This one is better, more flavourful, but also much sweeter. It does not feel artificial that much but lets say it is overly sweet so I am pulling few points down. Otherwise, really good one.
