How does this rum taste?
Most enjoy the sweet sherry, cherry and fruity notes and see strong value for money. Critics find it too sweet, light and a bit artificial. Consensus: easy, pleasant, not complex.
If you enjoy sweeter, sherry-finished rums like Pacto Navio, this will feel familiar—just know it’s softer, sweeter and more about easy sipping than depth.
Rum geeks chasing high complexity, anyone who dislikes added sweetness or lighter bodies, and drinkers looking for dry, cask-strength or funky pot still profiles.

Got this 5cl sample from the RR Tasting Club. The Emperor Sherry finished Rum is a a blend of aged rum made from fresh sugar cane juice (40%) and molasses (60%). This amber colored rum is aged in American and French oak barrels for 5-12 years whereafter it’s given a 6-month finish in sherry casks before bottled. Overall it’s quite alike the Heritage version, but with Sherry hints of course. For me it’s too sweet and I characterize it as a rum mostly belonging to the Spanish style.
Jetzt ein Emperor mit Sherry Cask Finish. Das Sherry Cask ist auf jeden Fall in der Nase wahrnehmbar. Sher fruchtig in der Nase. Am Gaumen dann ebenfalls dad Sherry Cask und Kirsche deutlich zu erkennen. Außerdem leicht holzig.
Unimpressive sample from rumratings. The sherry notes are the only positive mark for me…
Very sweet for a British style rum !!!
