    Very interesting distilat. It is different in nose, taste and finish. I was surprised how it changed its taste within the tasting. You can feel so many things but it would definitely change your thoughts with every new sip. Really recommmend for trying and meet Nicaragua rums.

    Really impressively delicious, complex Nicaragua rum. Nice daily sipper. I like it surprisingly well. Especially this combination of caramelized coconut, tangerine and dark chocolate with vanilla and light tannins is really fun! A positive surprise.

    This is a delightful drop for the age ... Not amazing which is why it only scores an 8. Woody , smoky lovely flavour ... A touch wetter than a dry Cuban rum but still full of depth ...couldn't distinguish this between the 12 flor de Cana de Cana (I know the flor de Cana only has a drop of 12 in it ) ... This might explain the smokiness and woodyness

    31.07.2021 A nice tasting held by a bygone spirits shop. Notes Medium to dark in colour. Nose Round, wood, fruity, light varnish, light roasted, coconut. Palate Light, complex, wood, roasted, orange, coconut, raisin, faint chocolate, light mint. Finish Medium long, fresh, wood, tannins, orange, faint nougat. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while to release all of its flavours.
