How does Cartavio XO taste?
Comforting sweet Spanish-style dessert sipper
If you like Zacapa, Dos Maderas or other sweet Spanish rums, this hits similar caramel‑vanilla dessert notes, just don’t expect much depth or dryness.
Anyone avoiding added sugar, looking for dry or complex cask-strength rum, or sensitive to syrupy, dessert-like profiles.

Wonderful rum
24DoR2024 Another very sweet sample The sugar just wasted the time in the barrel
Sample no.9 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. The nose is very inviting with notes of sweet caramel, chocolate and dried raisins. Palate is round and nice with tropical fruits, caramel and raisins. Outstanding rum!
Stechender Alkohol in der Nase. Sehr süß im Geschmack, da stark nachgezuckert. Abgang mit einem Nichts. Gepantschter Mist. Zum Glück hatte ich nur eine Probe.
