Malecon 12-Year

Very nice bottle, but the content is bit underperforming the primal charm. The taste is a bit rougher, but it could be fine sipper if you're not very demanding. But using it in short drinks could be a better way to enjoy it. The dilution will help the taste to rise over that rougher side and mellow down that alcohol pinch in its taste, but it will also provide a more complex taste over the rums that are primarily used for drinks and mixers.

Gotta give this one a 7 , pick up this bottle at my local Co-op for $66 now maybe a bit high for this bottle but that’s drinking rum in Canada, I mix my drinks don’t think I’d recommend for a sipper but mixing my way 1 oz rum , 1oz water two ice and 3oz coke this is a very nice drinker .Rum has a familiarity to it but not sure where from
Mix it up and enjoy 😉👍

Enjoyed a mini bottle of Malecon 12y with my buddy while on vacation. Nice bottle and label design. Light golden color. Strong nuttiness mixed with pure alcohol to the nose and palate when neat sipped. Surprisingly strong burn at the end. Not so good as a neat sipper.

Don't get the low ratings.
I have over 125 rums, and this is one of the better.
Hits your mouth in several layers of flavor and has nice finish.
Perfect amount of sweet.

It is semi sweet rum. Citrus ans dried prunes and a little tea flover. It's not so tasty.

Nez
Malecon 12 ans affiche un nez marqué par l'intensité des notes d'agrumes, de cannelle et de crème.

Bouche
La dégustation dévoile un profil éclatant et opulent. Les notes fruitées d'agrumes sont marquées par la présence de zeste d'orange qui se lie aux saveurs de l'abricot et se rehausse d'épices douces.

Finale
La finale est persistante et présente une bonne longueur dans un registre épicé- réglissé

Not a sipper but interesting as a mixer. Does not have a deep body but the flavor was interesting with ginger ale and citrus but covered up with cola. Will not keep but would taste again.

I like this one and prefer it over Diplomatico etc. Still there are better rums around.

you can buy mouch more better rums fort this price, i dont com back fot this

This time will be short - it's nothing special for me...

Geur is geweldig, je ruikt heerlijk gebrand hout van de rijping op bourbon vaten. Maar de smaak komt nooit in de buurt van de geur, blijft vlak en de smaak is snel verdwenen.

An intense rum with a weighty not of citrus and alcohol probability great for cocktails.

Un rom care lasa impresia ca este afumat. Culoare atragatoare, gust amplu, miros placut.

its focussed on 2 tastes. wood and vanilla. does the trick though. maybe slightly to expensive to replace your overly sweet spiced rums in cuba libres but fine if you're looking for a simple taste neat or on the rocks.

Une nez léger, peu d'attaque un rhum tout en discrétion.

Gute nase !
Aber dann kommt nicht mehr viel!
Lieber denn 21 jährigen

Compare to the 15yo is more alcoholic taste inside and has less mainly vanilla aroma.

Je to trošku silnější, hodně je cítit vanilka. Za tu cenu není vůbec špatný.

Strong, dry, vanilla rum, unfortunately warming part is very short, as well as after taste

Schönes Bernstein mit Gold Reflexen im Glas.
In der Nase, dezente Düfte von karamellisierten grünen Früchten die auf frisch getoastetem Holz liegen.
Im Gaumen extrem weich und sanft und leider nicht mehr so komplex wie in der Nase aber dennoch lecker.
Die karamellisierten Früchte sind immer noch präsent und die Holznoten treten stärker hervor.
Im Abgang übernimmt das Holz das Zepter und fruchtiges Karamell trottet hinterher.
Ein traditioneller Rum, nicht süss und harmonisch abgestimmt. Für Geniesser und Whiskey Überläufer.

Beautiful amber with gold reflections in the glass.
In the nose, subtle scents of caramelized green fruits lying on freshly toasted wood.
The palate is extremely soft and gentle and unfortunately no longer as complex as in the nose but still delicious.
The caramelized fruits are still present and the woody notes are more prominent.
In the finish, the wood takes over the scepter and fruity caramel trots behind.
A traditional rum, not sweet and harmonious. For connoisseurs and whiskey defectors.

Have tasted better, not the most tasting but I quite like it, my taste of rum is not the most advanced yet ;-)
