How does this rum taste?
- Sehr süßer Rum, eventuell für Einsteiger geeignet.
- Nice and sweet on the nose.
- Fruchtnoten, Vanille, etwas Eiche sind angenehm.
Ron Esclavo 12 Años leans heavily into sweet territory with pronounced notes of vanilla, caramel, and buttery chocolate. Many RumX members repeatedly point out the clear sweetness, with Dirk E. calling it a “schöner Rum von 1423.dk” and epicsune 🇸🇪 describing the palate as a “very pleasant sipper.” However, others like Korkennase🥃 find it “zu süß,” with a few wishing for less sugar to let the subtle leather and woody hints come forward. Some even liken it to “Gummibananen mit Schokomantel zum trinken...” (crazyforgoodbooze). Expect a soft, approachable profile where dessert-like character dominates over more complex rum notes.

"Tried this in a hotel bar with very limited range. Would never have tried it under normal circumstances, cause I had earlier tested the XO and thought it was much too sweet. This one is also too sweet for me, but less than the XO."
"Very sweet and more fruity than the other ones but still not my cup of tea 😊"
"This rum I would like to try less heavily sweetened. The fruit notes, vanilla, some oak are very pleasant on the nose and in the mouth, but in the end the rum is just too sweet for me."
"This rum is also too sweet for me. Oliver and Oliver can do better. This rum is slightly better than the XO but less sweet would be better."
