Origenes Don Pancho Reserva Especial 18-Year

This is by no means a bad rum. It just doesn't have anything to make it stand out, and at it's price you would expect that.

A vey smokey rum, similar to zacapa black but with a panamanian rum base.

Bartender recommended this for me yesterday. I liked it, not overly sweet and felt a little bit more 'mature'. Hints of dark fruits, apple, caramel, nuts, oak, vanilla. I usually don't smoke cigars but I had a Padron to this rum and as expected it was a very pleasant combination.

Strong 7/10.

Jemný, hřejivý, docela dost "zakulacená" chuť se stopami vanilky a karamelu, vůně překvapivě nepříliš výrazná. Je to docela dobrý kousek, ale od 18-ti letého bych čekal více. Při docela vysoké ceně vychází poměr cena / výkon ne až tak příznivě a určitě bych dal přednost jiným.

Rigtig fin rom med god duft og smag. Eftersmagen er god og lang.

Fornuftig rom. God duft, med mange nuancer. Smagen er forholdsvis moden og mild, men med en fin lang eftersmag.

Quite good but no strong tastes or spectacular flavours, some hint of tea.

Watchout with this one. After reading about this so called master I had a great respect for him and was dying to grab this.1st sip was great. It has the unmistakable Cuban profile but is seems to be feathering on the sugarbomb fence. If you like sugar this is for you and I'll bet you give it a 9. It has a pleasant sugar flavor. 18yrs and absolutely no barrel influence? Is it really 18yr old? I've never had any rum over 12yr that doesn't have some sort of barrel note to it! Glad I tried it but not going back. At that price why so much sugar? I would've rated it higher if not for the added sugar. It is quite smooth but I think the sugar is at work here. I can not believe he would sanction this at all! All the cuban rums I've tried never had this much sugar in it, if any at all. Must be some cash hungry conglomerates got involved here. Seems with such a famous name it's another cash grab.

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

Scent of leather, sugar cane honey, figs, Vietnamese cinnamon, vanilla, beeswax and saffron

Taste: Subtle and complex at the same time. With a certain initial sweetness on the entrance, it grows up and dries up to a beautiful dry complexity with dried dark fruit, spices, cinnamon, leather, vanilla, oak charcoal, and leather pale touches of sweetness and base of sugar cane complex and deeply sophisticated.
