How does this rum taste?
Praised for its well-integrated 65.1% ABV and very long, mildly sweet finish, this 18-year Dominican pot still release opens after a short rest: orange peel, toffee and chocolate on the nose. The palate delivers brown sugar, caramel, cocoa and oak. Some reviewers find it quite sweet; many find it a standout. A limited 200-bottle Tres Hombres selection with 10 RumX reviews and buyer confidence building.

One of the best Dom. Rep. rums of all time.
This one hits the nail and one of the highest proof rums that I tried where the proof is extremely well integrated. The nose is dominated by alcohol in the beginning but it settles after around 20 minutes. The you get a fruity and spice nose with toffee and cocoa/chocolate. The palate is an explosion of flavours where the barrel/oak mingles very well with caramel, chocolate and brown sugar. The finish is veeeeery long and mildly sweet with oak. This one is close to my favourite La Isla Bonita :-)
Sött och gott! Mumsigt. Möjligtvis bästa rommen jag druckit hittills.
For a long time, this was my favorite rum of all time. But time and taste change, and being more into high esters now, I need to lower this from the top grade of 100.
