Origenes Don Pancho Reserva Especial 18-Year

Made me think about the Angostura's No. 1 2nd batch (purple label), but not as good. However, would like to those two side by side.

The nose has notes of vanilla, butterscotch, toffee/caramel, and hints of cinnamon. Very similar flavors with some woody tones, and almost a syrupy flavor. A nice finish with a warming burn. Overall, a nice rum but a little too sweet for me. Thankfully I found it at a discount so I’m not too annoyed that it’s not highly rated for me.

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.

Very nice colour. Kind of amber. Interesting odor of something powerful. Orange and caramel notes meet your nose. Taste is sweet, easy and powerful. Strong in body. Short, but intense and strong aftertaste.

Just was offered this rum as an alternative to the Quorhum 30...was ok...but in my opinion not worth the price.

Since I don´t really remember the flavour, I just have to fill out 50 chars...

Sugar: Estimated at 15 GPL. This is a really easy rum to sip if you like whiskey as it has a strong burn to it. Vanilla, charred wood, toffee, some spices and a touch of fruit like figs and a trace of orange. Well balanced rum which mellows with a drop of water. Actually you need a bit in it to cut the burn down. I would have rated it higher except for the harsh burn at the end of this.

Roughly a smoother version of the little brother. The aroma has notes of caramel, oak, figs and perhaps a little orange peel. It has nice body and unfolds in the mouth, with more pronounced orangepeel, caramel, wood, dates and figs. The somewhat lengthy finish is nicely warming and tingling. It's a nice rum but given the price difference, I would choose the 8 year over this one.

Fantastic aromas, very smooth, but nothing spectacular, especially for $60-$70 a bottle. There is a strange taste in there as soon as you swallow, it doesn't linger but it's not my favorite.
