    Got this sample in my second batch from Rum Ratings Tasting Club and participated in the virtual tasting yesterday. It’s produced from molasses in a multi column still whereafter it’s aged in Jack Daniel’s barrels using the Solera method. The oldest drops is said to be 30yo. Overall it’s very smooth but a little too sweet for me (hydrometer tests I’ve read indicates 27gpl of sugar), I should probably liked it even more with a little higher ABV which should balance the sweetness.

    This is a blend of rums of up to 30 years of age and a very good one I may add. The winner of the 2011 Best Rum at the Golden Rum Barrel Awards. I just enjoyed this one again and it's never a disappointment. Very full bodied rum with a beautiful nose and complex palate. The finish is long, warm, spicy with smoke and just keeps on giving.

    8,5:On the nose, the first attack is with smoky wood and tobacco, along with a hint of minerality. It's complex, well balanced. We could find some walnut, orange, brown sugar, vanilla, sweet spices and some notes of pepper and olive.The wood is toasted and charred. It becomes dry after an aeration when dried fruits are also more intense, as tropical fruits arise. Some coffee might be noticed... 8,7:On the palate, the attack is nicely sweet and supple with smoky wood, tobacco and orange. After some tasty pastry with honey and toffee come into the play, the mood is dry, molasses is dark with licorice, fruits are dried. Spices are sweet. 8,6:The finish is long, woody, dry with nuts, toffee and dried fruits...

    Very tasty, but a little too sweet. I also expect more than sweet, tasty rum for >€120... I miss the unique selling point a bit more here. Overall too comparable with various other Spanish rums...
