Ron de Jeremy XO 15-Year

7.5 bych klidně dal - byť ostřejší (přičteno naivně solere), chuťově zdařilý. Klidně na celý večer.

Sweet stuff loaded with caramel, vanilla and oak.
Dont be intimidated by the branding of Ron Jeremy, this is a good buy!

Sweet rum. Better than expected and it tickles my curiousity

Now this is some fine stuff. Didn't think high about this rum before I tried it. But what a fantastic rum, the very dark colour looks so tasty in the glass. Nose: caramel, coffee and toffee. Palate: dark chocolate, vanilla fudge and butterscotch. And it's not to sweet! Nice one indeed!

Color ambra, brillante, viscosità bassa.
Al naso note di vaniglia, chiodo di garofano, caramello.
La nota alcolica è presente e non è elegante.
In bocca è secco, sapori di frutta essiccata, noci tostate, caramello. Finale secco, pungente.
Corpo esile.
Tutto sommato abbastanza piacevole.

One drink like desert after dinner? Why not, but you can always find a better choice.

What do we have here? On average a 7 year old rum from Panama (15y Solera), blended by masterblender Don Pancho (the one with Origins 8, 15, 30) and 40% abv for a round 40€.
Ron de Jeremy XO is a blend of rums from Barbados (Foursquare) , Guyana (DDL), Jamaica (various distilleries) and Trinidad (Angostura). 92 g/L of added sugar in a 7y old rum.
If you don't know who Ron de Jeremy was better don't search for that guy.

The nose is not very complex, rather common, no surprices there. I expected a little bit more because with this combination of rums it could be also a navy blend. In the nose I get, caramel, burned sugar, vanilla, some orange. It's not as sweet as I expected.
The taste starts sweet with burned sugar, vanilla, ice tea with peach flavor (that didn't taste like peaches), some bright aroma of wood or paper and some spice. Again not complex, not exceptional, just an easy lover like Ron de Jeremy :)

Common aromas, not very complex, therefor 65 points. Reminds me also a of Pampero Aniversario.

Smell: burned sugar, dry fruits, caramel, oak, orange, vanilla
Taste: burned sugar, vanilla, ice tea (peach), some sweet wood (or paper), some spice

Sweetness: 3.5/5
Spice: 1.5/5
Fruit: 2/5
Mildness: 4/5
Complexity: 1.5/5
Value (40€): 2/5

Pour un rhum de 15 ans, j'ai gouté à mieux rapport qualité/prix.

Nice to enjoy with some dessert or coffee. Not to strong or burn. Good middle class rum
