Legendario Elixir de Cuba 7-Year

This is more like those honey rums you get to taste in fancy shots battles with your drunkard college friends. From miles away you can detect this is way too sweet and the texture too honey-ish to be a real rum.

Je docela zajímavě sladký, pije se velmi lehce a při poválení na jazyku si udržuje poměrně dlouho svoji sladkou chuť po tropickém ovoci. Vhodný pro večerní pomalé popíjení někde na terase.

Legendario Elixír je také velmi hutný nápoj, kapky stékají po skle jen pomalu a těžce, právě proto, že to není čistokrevný rum, skupenstvím připomíná spíše sirup nebo med. Podle zákonů na Kubě a ve Španělsku nesmí nápoj, co nese označení rum, mít větší obsah cukru než 20 gramů na litr. Cokoliv, co má více, musí být označen jako elixír.

There are traces of Cuban style rum in this, something like Havana Club Especial, but the rum is overwhelmed by stewed fruits taste, mainly plums, and a ton of sugar. I am not a big fan of sugarbomb rums, such as this one, but for the money, if you like sweetened rum, this is not such a bad choice.

No llega a los 40 grados está bastante por debajo, yo solo lo tomo con algún postre y circunstancialmente, una copichuela, hay a quien le encanta con cola, pára mi ya es demasiado dulce, y cuando he hecho una cata con rones que me gustan........queda muy mal, la botella son 11€ que no me parece barato, el puerto de Indias es igual y cuesta la mitad.

well, I like sweeter ones, but this one was too much for me... although I might give it try in the future, but just one shot

In all honesty this was the first rum that I started drinking purely when I was about 16. I did not know anything about rum. I now know that the real rum countries do not consider this a real rum due to the high sugar in it.

Maybe just good choice if you want to overdrink and spend the day after in coma.

I reviewed this drink a few years ago, having less experience with rums. At this point in time, I've learned to appreciate real rums better, and less drinks like the Legendario 7. This is not a rum, it highly exceeds the 20g/l limit of sugar for being a rum. Plus, at 34% alcohol, doesn't qualify for the limit of minimum proof for being a rum. Add some cola to it, and it's a recipe for diabetes for sure. Yes, it has a nice flavor, and people like it do it it's sweetness. But the same people call this a rum, which is wrong. If you can't handle a rum and you're into sweet drinks, this is definitely for you. It's quite affordable (14-15 euros) but I would not buy this drink ever again, unless for mixing it with some high proof agricole rum, to tone it down.

It's very sweet RUM - elixir, I recommend it especially for ladies, because if sweet taste.
Liqueur lovers would like it.
