“Had two tastings this weekend and Très Hombres was the first one. This rum kicks just the right places and I needed a drop of water to release more flavours. The oak is only there in the background, but I like that on this powerful rum. Spices, chocolate and coffee are more in the center. Lovely rum and very rare i found out.”

“Mein erster hochprozentiger O&O, der aber ohne große Überraschungen daherkommt und sehr stark auf der röstigen und schokoladigen Seite liegt. Man riecht die typischen Aromen eines spanischen Rums, was auch diesen Rum zu einem runden und eleganten Erlebnis macht. Im Mund röstig, würzig und bittersüß. Im Abgang dann etwas mehr Frucht, ansonsten nichts neues. Die knapp 65% sind definitv spürbar, es sollte meiner Meinung nach etwas Wasser hinzugegeben werden.”
