5 or 6 i was not sure about it. It is not a bad rum but it is defi etely not on the must have side for me.

If i catch it on a good sale i will buy again but above $20 i've tried better rums.

Nose: oakiness and alcohol smell is very noticable.
Taste: i know it will sound weird but it is a dry rum but it is sweeter than expected with honey caramel flavors.
Tried both sipping and mixing same confusing results. Did not get best out of it.
But you may like it

Picked it up for $15. Nose is molasses, caramel, vanilla, and spice. Apart from an initial alcohol bite, it is relatively smooth with some nice dry notes of wood and caramel with some spice. Vanilla teases too with an elusive sweetness. Actually not bad on its own, probably not bad with ice, though will most likely be mixed.

You would expect to fell more pleasant rum for a rum made to be consumed on it's own. Sadly this rum lets you down and in the after taste you can only fell strong alcohol with caramel found. On the rocks or cola only in my opinion.

Strong, discreet, without harshness and flaws. Even better than the Angostura 7 years. The more I drink, the more like it.

This rum has a beautiful bright amber color. It has an interesting odor. A bit alcohol-heavy that stings the nose a little.

Tasting it reveals the oak in which it is aged (between 5 and 8 years from what I've read online) and a little sweetness with vanilla and caramel with a drier finish. This will tingle your tongue a bit. Leaves a bit of a lengthy burn in the throat.

A very versatile mixing rum. Has too much of an edge to it to be a good sipping rum. Overall a good rum and very useable in mixed drinks.

I'm not sure why I waited on this. It was pretty great for a 5 year rum. Lots of barrel characteristics. Nice baking spices, caramel, vanilla, honey. It's got a medium weight to is also, not too light, a mixture of different column rums some heavy. Nice straight up overall. I was surprised by this one to say the least. Also additive free.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Trinidad a Tobago
Aroma: Vůně je o hodně řidší než jsem zvyklý u Angostury 1919 a 1824, ale je poznat, že jde o Angosturu, trocha včelích pláství a medicíny tu je, ale hlavně tu jsou znát citrusy. Je to takové odlehčené, nenáročné, zředěné. (82 b)
Chuť: V chuti platí to samé, co ve vůni. Hlavní poznávací znaky značky zůstaly zachovány, ale jsou naředěné. Dřevo, plástve, medovost. Pěkná je dochuť, ta je i přes naředění dlouhá, celkem plná. (82 b)
Body: 82
Shrnutí: Je to levnější, lehčí verze Angostury, za sebe doporučuji připlatit a jít do Angostury 1919, když už

Nose, sniffing the bottle first: Sweet Shellac, lacquer, cobblers glue, citrus, brown sugar, some smoke.
Nose: lacquer with citrus and brown sugar, honey, heather, my late grandfather's leather workshop! sweet residue of molasses honey.
Tongue: Pineapple, Mandarin, delicate hint of molasses, younger alchohol bites but rather smooth and pleasant sweet sour complexity builds up towards nice bitterness at the finish. surprising fading into ripe Carambola (star fruit)!
Finish: Lingering Pineapple and Mandarin, balanced sweet to sour medium length, discovering hints of even more complexity at the fading stage. i could swear i tasted Carambola at the end.

No idea why i had discovered this rum so late in life, it is very affordable, great value for money and above all a premium grade sipper. specially for those who don't mind some little bites of youth. although the stated 5 years age is on par with 8 year statements of Jamaican famous brand, which is compliment to what the 5 years can do to the Angostura.
on the complexity and age palate level of 8 year Appleton Estate and Havana Club Anejo
a great example of how a great rum should taste and feel!
8.1/10

Solid for price.
Without specific notes, great for cocktails.

Decent but not remarkable in any way rum. Still, it has quite a good value for money considering it's 20 eur price (January 2024).
