    How does this rum taste?

    Reviewers highlight the XV Ron Reserva from Brugal for its approachable mix of woody spice and just enough sweetness. Vanilla and caramel stand out in both aroma and flavor, alongside layers of toasted oak. It's seen as a versatile sipper, particularly for those just exploring aged Dominican rums, and consistently earns praise for its balance and light touch. Worth considering if you like smooth, wood-driven rums.

    Suprise pas désagréable. Je m'attendais à quelque chose de très sucré et sans profondeur. Ce n'est pas dingue mais on est sur un ton boisé avec une sucrosité maîtrisée.

    Sehr würzig

    Etwas süß, wenig Frucht. Kurz im Abgang. Etwas eindimensional

    5,8:On the nose, the first impression we get light with fruity and coffee notes, sea salt, fudge, sweet sherry, milk chocolate, apricot, sultana raisins, orange peel, a touch of banana, almond and honey. The wood is toasted and spicy, as there is also some toasted coconut... 6:On the palate, the attack is dry, not sweet, also creamy. The taste starts with gentle waves of bitter-sweet honey, vanilla bean, the sherry is there, some salted caramel, chocolate, pleasant oak, toasted, also coconut, there is some cinnamon, candied ginger, clove, and orange peel. 5,7:The finish is soft and woody, dry, coconut still present, with wood spice, a briny note...
