Tried this one at Blackwell`s Rum and Reggae party in New Orleans 2 years ago and i find it makes great rum punches and dark n stormy`s, also good in Tiki drinks.

Had to try it I tried this with three different colas the best cola that this rum is suited with is cherry Coke. It brings out a vanilla flavor in the drink and enhances the cherry flavor and the Coke I heard a lot of people say bad things about this rum about the fake flavor but it is truly a good rum. These people also said that it has a fake Cherry cola flavor so I went against the grain and I mixed it with straight up cherry Coke and it’s pretty phenomenal! You do taste coconut a hint of it and a chocolatey flavor with the molasses which is very typical among dark rums.

This rum is incredible. It combines my two favorite categories of rum which are funky Jamaican rums and black blended rums. The taste is just amazing!

Got 2 bottles: El Prohibito 15yo and Blackwell light

ЕlP15 - Highest in melanin ). Easy on nose, easy on palate, medium long aftertaste. Watery. Not spicy nor salty at all, if has added sugar then it's less than 10g\L.
Core of taste is dates and fruits, nuts notes, no barrel touches. Just positive impressions. Drives onto good mood.

BW - still pretty dark, why called light? Impressions are absolutely similar to ElP15, the same water, sugar level and "structure". Just a bit more funky.

Both are just Ok - score 7.5+

This rum is solid without heavy Jamaican Hogo funk going on. I was quite surprised expecting something hard to swallow, but it was better than expected. Great mixer for Dark & stormy’s, Mai tais, etc. nice full body flavor good with coke also.

I love the slender brown bottle, it fits nicely in the hand. When you open it there is an aroma of pineapple with a bit of caramel and cinnamon. The dark copper colour is what pours into the glass. Not a lot of fire but pleasant in the mouth and warming as it goes down. A good everyday rum that I will have in my collection.

Trochu jsem se bál, vzhledem k ceně. Ale velmi příjemný rum. Náznak "pravé" Jamajky s nižší voltáží. Krásně voní i prázdná sklenka.

Wanted to see how this one compared to a goslings. Pleasantly surprised. Does the job well as a mixer. Especially like the Blackwell in a tradewinds

You can feel his youth, but it is also a dense, rich taste of coffee, chocolate. And it's just delicious. You can easily share it with friends. May be it seems to be not balanced enough, but for me it looks bold.

Strong coconut. A little funk. Better than Coruba for a cheap Jamaican black.
