Redelijke rum met veel smaken die helaas niet allemaal te herlijden zijn.

Soepele rum, scherp randje en veel zoete carameltonen.

Latino 5 YO 2010-2015 40% (15 g/L sugar).
Blend of Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados, english navy style. But I could understand that containing a 60% of Guatemala rum they caleld it Latino.
It’s a light and bright, but more on the sweet side than in the usual dry side of the latin rums.
I think this one is a little bit too young and too simple.
I would start from the CDI West Indies 8 years.
Smell: vanilla, oak, citrus fruits, some honey, marzipan
Taste: sweetness, vanilla, wood, paper, marzipan, some honey, spices
Sweetness: 2.5/5
Spice: 2/5
Fruits: 2.5/5
Mildness: 3/5
Value (25€): 2/5
Blend: Guatemala (60%), Trinidad, Barbados, Guyana
Casks: 5 Years in ex Bourbon casks

A very nice young blend of rums from here , there and everywhere.. light straw in colour , bit of an astringent nose , plus fruit , honey and a bit of chocolate ! Sips well for a 5 yr old rum.. buttery notes , short finish. 7.5 rating really.

Combination of 5 years old rums of various countries in the Caribbean and Mid-America. This rum is totally dominated by sweet notes – starting with the nose and continued with the palate which has no burn at all. Palate reveals flavors of sweet sugar and vanilla. Only short finish.

I got the last bottle in town, which was not cheap for a 5 year old rum. But I am surprised by the taste, very comparable (not in detail obviously) to my more exclusive Plantation Guatemala XO bottle.
I'm happy that I bought this so that I can save the other for the more special occasions.

Le nez de cet assemblage est plutôt léger mais on sent déjà une certaine gourmandise se profiler, avec une petite oxydation et de la levure. C’est léger, oui, mais tout de même relativement puissant au niveau alcoolique. Il faudra un peu d’aération avant que le caramel et la coco que l’on devine ne s’expriment pleinement.
Voici donc, avec un peu de repos, des notes de caramel au beurre, de coco et un léger cacao. Le nez s’est développé et on a maintenant des fruits frais flambés (ananas surtout).
La sensation en bouche est à la fois ronde et sèche. Je m’explique : la texture en entrée de bouche semble relativement épaisse mais par la suite c’est plutôt droit et sec. Dans cette puissance s’exprime à nouveau l’ananas frais flambé et quelques notes florales. Cet ananas est bien caramélisé et il est accompagné d’un nougat aux amandes fondant.
En fin de bouche : énormément de caramel au beurre, qui va fondre assez rapidement alors que le rhum descend dans la gorge.

Nice rum for sipping. Good value for money. Nothing to add to that...

Great rum and bang for your buck. Nicely layered with tones from the bourbon casks and sweet esters. The 40% is not even annoying. Good stuff.
