Not very different from the XV tasted previously. A woody ron with controlled (if overly present) sugar. No depth, no complexity, no length. Not unpleasant, but not for me.
Classically good rum. Here you do nothing wrong.
Čekal jsem slaďárnu jakobu Legendário, ale opak ke pravdou. Ve vůni sladší, nežli v chuti. Převládá koření, vanilka, dřevo, karamel, sušené ovoce, rozinky a pepř. Barva je určité dobarvovaná, jinak si tu temnou barvu nedokáži vysvětlit. Po otevření lahve jsem musel nechat ve skleničce vyvětrat, bylo to na první napití velmi štiplavé.
On the nose restrained but mainly wood in the foreground. In addition, caramel and marzipan notes.In the taste after initial wood notes quickly peppery. Powerful, but also one-dimensional. Inexpensive, sweetened alternative to Mount Gay, although this is clearly better.
