Aged for 10 years and bottled at a cask strength of 58.7% ABV, it offers a complex nose with tropical fruit and subtle apple undertones. On the palate, users note spicy and fruity characteristics, with woody and burnt sugar accents. While some find a metallic fresh scent, others mention initial sulphur notes that mellow over time. A few users describe it as not very challenging, yet it delivers notable complexity for a Cuban rum.

Unfortunately, too alcoholic and edgy. From the freshly opened bottle unpleasant sulfur and cheese associations. 🫣More pleasant on the palate.
Frisch aufgemacht brutal säuerlich unangenehm vergoren käsig.... geschmacklich nicht ganz so geil und komplex wie der 9y alte im direkten Vergleich. weniger Frucht, dafür mehr Harz, Ledersattel und Tabak und Kakao. dafür kommen noch etwas alte Banane und Honig und Kaffee dazu und er ist noch etwas süffiger. die Karamellbonbon DNA bleibt allerdings erhalten! Der 9er ist aber deutlich besser!
Der Geruch wirkt anfänglich etwas abschreckend und nicht sonderlich appetitlich vergoren. Lässt man den Rum atmen kommen tropische Früchte, Apfel und eine gewisse Süße dazu. Im Gaumen ist er dann deutlich besser; hier kommen würzige und Hokzaromen, tropische Früchte und gebrannter Zucker hinzu. Im Abgang ist der Rum rauchig mit Kaffeenoten.
