How does this rum taste?
Soft, very sweet dessert sipper
If you enjoy sweet, easy Latin-style rums or mix with cola, this will feel comforting; but if you already find Malteco 15 borderline sweet, this will likely be too much.
Drinkers who dislike sugary profiles, want higher ABV intensity, or are looking for dry, complex sipping rum without additives.

Viel Kakao,wenig Sherry. Ölig Schokoladig, kräftig mittellang süß würzig
Compared to the 15 Y.O. this is more woody. Still sweet but more unbalanced imo. I would buy the 15 instead.
I am a little surprised about the so far only very average rating.For me a really good rum.I like the smell of leather, but also recognize some coffee, but am also convinced of the round taste.One of my favorite rums.
Great fruitiness and intense aromas. Unfortunately a little too sweet for my taste
