Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo 12-Year

Got the pair of 12yo plus 11yo from friend of mine. Tasting them both at the time.
The differenses are subtle, still noticible. 11yo more fruity, 12yo stronger smoky or smoky. Aftertaste feels longer for 12yo. 11 is smother and sweetier.
The similarities are obvious: both are amazing, fantastic.

Viva Cuba! Rating them both 10.

Perfect warming drink after cold Canadian day (too bad I did not order the cigar)

Smooth and flavorful, not dry but not overly sweet. Great example of what the "taste" of a Cuban Style Rum is.
Update.....its been 2 years since l first had this rum and l have since been lucky enough to have sampled many more rums. I just finished another bottle of this and really this is my "if l could only have one rum" choice.

very underrated this Rum. Very nice for this Price!

De lo mejor que probado De Santiago de Cuba, ron balanceado, dulce y sin tanto sabor a madera como el 11 años

Notes of caramel, vanilla, fruits. Smooth. Tastes a bit better than Cubaney Centenario.

Tipico rum cubano ma con molta delicatezza in più. Molto ben fatto i sapori si amalgamano perfettamente. Va giù che è una bellezza. Ne troppo dolce ne dry, una via di mezzo perfetta. Si abbina perfettamente con un buon sigaro.

en boca caramelo quedado cuero y vainilla en nariz dulce de leche color ambariño de final fuerte

Buono all'olfatto, ancora meglio in bocca, rotondo

J'ai acheté quelques unes de ces bouteilles en juillet 2004 ainsi que des Habana Club 18 ans.

Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un assemblage de vieux rhum allant jusqu'à 20 ans d'âge. Cet excellent rhum n'est pas un Habana Club mais pour la différence de prix, il était possible de lui pardonner.

Coûtait 60USD par rapport au Habana Club 18 ans à 85 ou 90USD.

Solid, round, soft, complete. No alcohol or sweetness. With prominent notes of prunes, leather, tobacco and barrel.

Единственный недостаток - завышенная цена.
