Origenes Reserva Especial 18-Year

This rum had the misfortune of being tasted and rated just after testing some premium rums from Chairman's Reserve. This one is still a damn good rum, but has way too much woody taste for me. It should wind up tasting better after breathing in the bottle for a few weeks. As usual, any updates will follow.

A little on the expensive side for an 18 year old rum, but you quickly realize what you have and forget about the price. The aroma after opening the cork is waoo !!! The youngest rum in the blend has been aged for 18 years, so what you have is the real deal. Go ahead, dont hesitate and buy it

Very good panamanian rum. One of the best I tasted so far.

Day 7 of my 1423 Advent Rum calendar. This rum is darker than previous samples and the sweetness is noticeable but not overpowering. In my humble opinion I don’t believe the “18” is an accurate age statement for this rum. Nevertheless it is OK as a sample but I definitely wouldn’t indulge in purchasing a bottle of this product as there are several cheaper rums that are much much better.

Sweet and a good balance of flavours.Vanilla, molasses and caramell...Yummy.

A pretty well rounded rum, but it lacks something to make it stand out. Not very memorable, which you kind of expect based on the price tag and bottle etc.

Takie 5-6 niby fajne. Ale bukiet słabszy. Smak ... Im dłużej się pije tym lepsY

This is an excellent rum dark rich color, full bodied perfect for sipping and great with a cigar. Will buy again, great bottle shape.

It has so much richness to it but still neither too sweet or harsh.
A very smooth rum that i pref on the rocks!

Received as a gift. Supposedly they paid $99 for the bottle. I'd have to agree... it is a good rum but a bit overpriced.
