This is a very sweet rum with nice fruits and spices. I like this rum for sweet desserts and making chocolate rum cake.

The taste is complex and delicate, with notes of dried fruits, vanilla, walnut and sherry! The taste ends balanced, slightly spicy - quite delicious actually.

Für 18 Jahre habe ich mehr Komplexität erwartet. Süss schmeckt vor. Gefällig und für Einsteiger ein gutes Tröpfchen.

surprisingly fresh and at the same time complex on the nose, unfolds full-bodied and rich on the palate, the short finish leaves an interesting third final impression

Woody, cask-like. There is 29g/L and yet it is not that sweet. On the nose we find the characteristics of Ron, caramel, woody, toffee, chocolate. On the palate we find the same characteristics and a peppery side which is not too disturbing.

Sample no 9 of the 24 days of rum 2022. Fancy sweet rum. Reminds me of Dos Maderas 5+5 or Selección for roughly half a price. Very nicely balanced sweet rum. Hints of coffee, toffee, nougat, caramel and raisins, maybe sherry. It is not overly sweet even though it is rather sweet a lot but thanks to how it is balanced it is not a problem. If I would have a chance to grab it in some discounted price below 40€, I would go for it. Otherwise it does not make sense I would rather go for Dos Maderas.

Caramell, Holz und Alkohol in der Nase, leicht nussig. Cremig mild, holzig/ledrig mit süßer Würze. Guter Abgang, Würze bleibt.
