Legendario Gran Reserva 15-Year

Well over 2,600 aged dark rums enjoyed and Legendario Gran Reserva 15 year is easily on my top 20 rum after 15 years of rum tastings. It is sublime, super smooth, no burn at all and contains amazing flavors. It has the most complex flavor profile on this side of Black Tot. Impossible to find in the US, but I managed to taste the Legendario Gran Reserva 15 year in it's natural habitat in Havana Cuba earlier this year. And I have managed to find 1 bottle in Spain, which was an adventure of its own to bring it over to the U.S. Plus now in 2020 global lockdown I'm sipping Legendario 15y in Amsterdam.

Nose: Sweet molasses and sugar cane heaven.
Palate: Easily the most complex of any aged dark rum on this side of the Black Tot.
Finish: Spectacular and sweet.

Many thanks to Joola69 for giving me a sample as part of a rare rum tasing!

This is definitely a great rum! Smells and tastes of caramel, molasses, and spice. Really nice!

No added sugar, fruity sherry and wooden taste. Long aftertaste. Very good rum.

Epic, tasty, spicy, amazing, juicy, flavorful and so ridiculously expensive. Definitely a strong 10.

Very competent, very much approaching the Zacapa XO in the flavor, chocolate-like maybe, but not overly sweet at all. The Zacapa is a bit sweeter and of course a much better bargain.

Don't get me wrong this rum is truly amazing, but also very expensive

Vůně příjemná, chuť hodně rumová, rum bez duše, velké zklamání 👎

barva: tmavá zlata barva
vuně: nevýrazná po karamelu
chut: plochá bez charakteru vyzrálého rumu.
koupit:jednoznačně za ty peníze ne
doporucit: ne

Flasken i sig selv gør jo, at man kun kan synes godt om denne rom. Den er meget velbalanceret og smager fantastisk mangler lige det sidste for at måle sig med Santiago 25.

Meine Erwartungen waren groß, der Verpackungsaufwand den Legendario betreibt auch, damit die Porzelan Flasche heile zuhause ankommt. Leider ist dieser Rum überhaupt nicht mein Geschmack.
