"Bought a bottle and tasted this rum in Nerja, Spain. Itโs a blend of many distillates, both from column and pot still, aged for a minimum of 8 years. Overall a rum that surprised me in all aspects in a good way. The nose is delicious, fruity, spicy and woody with scents of orange, baking spices and oak. At the palate itโs balanced, smooth, full bodied, sweet, fruity and spicy with flavors of honey, orange, pineapple, apricot, pepper and vanilla. The finish is very smooth and longer than expected."
"A retaste for me and I still stick to my initial score and statement ๐ I have to say that this one is best used in a mixer."
"The nose is really nice and fruity, especially right after pouring, when the esters are strongest. Pineapple and banana. The palate is quite different, very spicy and lots of molasses. Pretty good but not quite outstanding"
"All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on โRums under ยฃ50โ. I rarely look at Rums over ยฃ50 for my YouTube."
