Interesting rum. I'm not expected smoke here. I couldn't find any information, what barrels were used. The smoke could only come from a finish in Islay casks. I know some natural rums with this finish, but this solera rum was a new experience for me.

I tasted this one three times and I still don't like it. I can't enjoy the smoke with this strong sweetness. It tastes like you are eating a pineapple from an ashtray.
If you like it, go for it.

Smell (not intensive): first some solvent (disappers after 10min), pineapple, apple, citrus, some toffee, ash/smoke, wood, oatmeal cookies
Taste: Very intensive smoke (cigarette ash - you palet get used to it after some sips), sweetness, pineapple, apple and then some bitterness/wood.
Finish: Spicy and middlelong finish (warm burn), also sweet
Aftertaste: cigarette ash

Sweetness: 3.5/5
Fruit: 3.5/5
Spice: 2/5
Mildness: 3.5/5
Complexity: 2/5
Value (35€): 1.5/5

If you think this is a good rum, read some more reviews:

"From what I gather the ageing process is around 12 to 15 months – so this is not a particularly long aged rum. Caramel colouring is added to give consistency to each batch and it is felt by Frederic that the rum gets 80% of its profile from the Port Cask ageing. "

Very balanced mixture of Mauritius brands. Perfect colour

Rhum aux arômes de vanille et érable, belle rondeur se développement au contact de l'air. À l'ouverture de la bouteille, le rhum manquait de délicatesse

It’s well balanced, with some uncommon flavors but still interesting.
It starts like nutmeg or port wine, then smoked wood but it doesn’t finish as well. The after taste is to sweet.

Nice choice but I like rather the version of Solera 5Y.

Grounded dark rum with tones of wood, smoke and caramel. Comfortable aroma, but very sweet with smooth aftertaste. It suits me.

This has quite some complexity and presents an unusual variety of layers. I tasted a lot of fruit in it - banana, orange, maybe mango. I don't know how they achieve that - it's quite mysterious, but who can resist a mystery? It sits nicely on the tongue and has a lovely aftertaste. It also has a bit bit of spice, chocolate, smoke and nuttyness too. It also has a boubon-like quality, but not as pleasantly as some rums (especially Mount Gay). In addition, it's a beautiful colour in a good looking bottle....may have to get a bottle in the future and get to know it better :) Then maybe I can begin to answer the question "what's going on here, what is the secret of Mauritian Gold?"

Moc dobrý africký rum. Příjemně ostrý s krásnou barvou i vůní. Mezi tmavými rumy je v horních patrech mého žebříčku. Krásná láhev je předurčena k vánočním i narozeninovým dárkům. Za mě super.
