RX73 Pleasant Column Still Rum Under 50€

“Great mixer, affordable, woody, vanilla notes.”

Añejo Superior 5 Years is a Dominican Republic rum produced at the renowned Brugal distillery. Distilled from molasses with a column still and aged for five years, this rum features prominent woody notes complemented by vanilla and caramel undertones. Users frequently highlight its excellent quality-to-price ratio, making it a favored choice for cocktails like Cuba Libre. While some find it smooth and pleasantly nutty, others perceive it as slightly harsh or watery when sipped neat. The rum has a balance of floral and roasted flavor profiles with a medium finish, making it versatile for mixing but less favored for straight consumption.

“A very woody nose with lots of spice. There's some grape and exotic fruits buried underneath it all. Sharp. A quite sweet palate. Brioche buns with a touch of cinnamon and oak. Less fruity and spiced than the nose would suggest. Also more rounded. The finish is short. A flash of ginger and softer wood notes. It's not going to blow anybody away but it's not unpleasant.”

“I am pleasantly surprised by this rum. I wouldn't have expected too much for the price, but it's perfectly usable. Bought it for cola rum and found it to be good. Now have another bottle for cocktails, let's see how that works out.”

“Surprising notes of chocolate, coffee and caramel keeps one company. Re-tasted in the new bottle and after years it still manages to surprise with its typical Dominican warm notes followed however then by a woody dryness(of barrel/cork/skin/mold) that I find unique! Excellent quality/price ratio”

“Fande that he tasted better in the Dominican Republic. At home he has somehow lost the flow. In the PinaColada but it is my favorite. Probably because I then get every time vacation flashbacks.”

“A rather unspectacular Dominican, which one can buy for the price gladly times. Nothing to indulge in, but an every day sipper.”

“lovely, smooth almost floral and nutty - medium finish, quite harsh when drank without ice though. Very easy to drink iced. My first tasting of this I loved it, second tasting somewhat underwhelmed, but upon giving it a proper go again I just love it- smooth, nutty, delicious. Would highly reccomend”

“Sweet an inoffensive nose. Peach and honey with some wood and vanilla. Ok but not exciting. On the mouth everything is a let down, thin, watery and no depth at all. Wood and some brown or demera sugar. Finish has some ginger and a dry undertone. Short and unmemerable. Mixed maybe an average rum, sipped or anything similar don’t even bother”

“Geschmacklich super langweilig, ein bisschen Vanillenoten sonst eher nichtssagend, für die niedrigen Prozente doch noch recht scharf.”
