Ron Esclavo 12-Year

Ron Esclavo 12
Fornuftig rom til prisen.
Men syndes at det er være at betale lidt ekstra og få storebror XO

God hverdags Rom. Value for money. Lidt sprittet...

Schöner Einsteiger Rum.
Nichts zu komplexes. Würzig, Fruchtig, minimale Süße im Abgang.
Auch günstiger Preis.

Quite sharp after all, but unexpectedly long aftertaste.

Sometimes I don't mind a real sugar bomb - they are easy to drink. But the sugar takes away the individuality and complexity that the rum might have. The nose is very sweet vanilla, typical of many a rum that has a lot of sugar added. Its the palate that is more interesting. There is a softness to it, with a hint of alcohol that counteracts the sweetness a little. Medium bodied with a hint of spice, it is an easy rum if a little unsophisticated. Far too short on the finish.

Fine when you are in the mood for a sweet rum, but not an everyday one. Overall a bit disappointing.

It is really quite nice rum. Smooth and mellow. Full bodied by a little bit too sweet for my taste. Some kind of funk far far away which is nice.

Tak sobie przeciętny i wisiorek mocny alkoholowe oj tak

Tasted this in a hotel bar with a very limited range of rums. Would never have tried it under normal circumstances cause that I tried the XO just over a year ago and thought it was to sweet.
This one is also sweet but not nearly as sweet as the XO, which pleases me.
I recognized vanilla, fruits and chocolate but there is also hints of sharp alcohol.

If you go for the Esclavo 15y or above you’ll get very good and tasteful rums. This is perhaps okay as an introduction to the brand?

God rom uden at friste til et extra glas.

Duft : Sød frugt. Lidt sukker.

Smag : Blomme og søde frugter.
