    Unfortunately a little too diluted, but not tasteless.

    The rum itself is amazingly complex for this style and the reduction to drinking strength. The PLV fits here for me but still not. With a higher ABV would certainly have been significantly more in it.

    Auto-translated

    Considering the price, this rum should be a lot better and a poor choice in quality to price when looking at the Facundo lineup. The nose is light and fruity with vanilla and caramel and a hint of cognac. The palate is complex and dry, yet velvety with fruit and spices. In the back i get chocolate, cookies and cognac. On too of that a good shot of oak. The finish is medium long with smoky oak and raisins and a hint of marzipan.

    Unfortunately a little too diluted, but not tasteless.
