Rum Company Aficionado

It is sweet, and it's a 10. As other users described it it has a strong feel of dark chocolate and coffee. It goes great with cigars, great. The aftertaste lasts forever, amazing. It just lasts, and lasts, and reveals all the beautiful notes of fruit, chocolate, coffee, and strong notes of vanilla. amazing. It is not for everyday drinking, but when it is time to have a glass, it will be a celebration.

The nose is spicy and dark with a clear of mocha coffee flavor.
The dark coffee follows through in the taste, with an added burnt dark brown sugar of medium-high sweetness. The long finish brings a wealth of deep complex notes of caramel, cocoa and cola.

I was really surprised by the way that The Rum Company have achieved such a high level of complexity in such a refined and pleasant package. The experience you get with this rum clearly reflects the wide age-range of rums (5 to 33 years) used by their Master Blender.

Even though I do not smoke cigars, I can see why it is recommended as a companion to this rum. You really must enjoy it with something dark and powerful in taste, such as coffee or dark chokolate - otherwise the Aficionado will blow it out of the water.

A solid 9/10.

Dette er i min bog en fantastisk rom. Fik den af konen i 30 års fødselsdagsgave, og man kan ikke sige at jeg blev skuffet. Utrolig lækker duft i flasken, flot mørk farve i glasset, lækker rund og fyldig smag med en dejlig lang eftersmag med undertoner af kaffe, chokolade og karamel.

Dette er en af mine favoritter. Kommer helt sikkert i barskabet igen når 1. flaske af væk - top 3 i min bog og nok kun overgået af Ron Qourhum 30 års.

Masse krydder,smak og en lang og markert ettersmak

Fantastisk rom, meget mørk farve. Duft af melasse og smag af karamel, melasse og lidt kaffe.

Rigtig god rom med en helt fantastisk duft og fantastisk vedvarende eftersmag. Den er til den søde side, men det bliver aldrig for meget.

En Rom med lidt bid i, i starten, efterfulgt af en masse bløde smagsoplevelser.
Efterfulgt af en lang krydret eftersmag.

Flot speciel duft
Meget mørk
Fin smag, sød
God eftersmag
Meget sukker????

Compared to old Barbados from rum company this is a better rum. More sting and roundness to it but with mature flavours of coffee and dark chocolate. Nose: Lemon tea, coffee and chocolate. Palate: Dark chocolate, orange and coffee in a sweet but not to sweet mix. Very dark in colour looks amazing in your glass. 7.8/10

Everyone likes their rum in different ways: neat, on the rocks, as mixers and so on... Even though it is not my cup of tea, it is clear to taste, that this was a rum created to be enjoyed with a good cigar

Nose: Sweet molasses and a touch of liquorice. A very deep experience on the nose
Taste: Dark chocolate, coffee, caramel and a touch of wood
Overall: This is a rum with a very deep taste with darker notes of chocolate and coffee combined with the sweet. A bit of smoke should go nice with this, which is why, I think, it would go great with a cigar
