„Tasted again today, with direct comparison to the younger brother, the Malecon Imperial 18 years. The younger tastes lighter, less complex. I the rum class!“

„On retrouve bien le côté rhum cubain. Rond gourmand et en douceur. Des belles notes de caramel, de bois et d’épices au nez qui ne nous lâche pas de la dégustation. On retrouve ces notes en bouche en douceur et en rondeur. Pas bcp de fruit beaucoup, mais un côté caramel qui envahi agréablement le palais. La finale n’est pas très expressive et une simple continuité de la bouche qui s’estompe de façon assez rapide.“

„Taste heavy, round, rather sweet, woody, fruity and balanced, with cocoa notes. Great nose and barely pungent alcohol. Multilayered but not too complex. Just delicious and not too sweet. I have the new bottle (2021) and it doesn't say anything about the "Cuban process" like on the old bottles. I hope the rum has not been changed.“

„#4052 A pretty good rum when looking at the price tag. Fruity and sweet with nice spices and caramel. The empty glass is really nice and has stronger caramel and some coffee notes.“
