The best brand of rum from Cuba. Sharp not sweet but still really nice.
Anejo - Extra Anejo - 11-years - 12-years - ... ze maken het een beetje ingewikkeld daar bij Santiago. Zou het daarom zijn dat Santiago Castro's favoriet was?
Vergis je niet de Anejo is een 3-jarige rum, die zich goed leent tot het maken van eenvoudige cocktails, een goede mengrum voor weinig euro's. Hier staat dan ook geen cijfer op het etiket!
Daar de 11-jarige vooral in Cuba vlotjes verkoop, wordt deze hier in Europa minder frequent aangeboden en durft men wel al eens een Anejo hiervoor laten doorgaan. Toch staat 11 duidelijk op het etiket (zie foto en mijn rating).
De 12-years is de best verkochte Santiago in Europa en is voor mij een zeer toegankelijke rum. De aanzet is quasi volledig gelijklopend met de 11-jarige. Ook een lichte alcoholroes in de neus, maar zeker niet agressief.
Bij het proeven is de amberkleurige iets ronder dan de 11-jarige en voelt iets vettiger aan. Zachte toetsen van caramel en vanille zijn duidelijk te onderscheiden, ook wat verbrande suiker en een houterig aroma komt even de kop opsteken. Maar verdwijnt al even snel als deze gekomen is. De afdronk is iets langer dan bij de 11-jarige, maar verder dan drie tellen kom je niet.
Kortom geen slechte sipper, zeker niet te zoet, maar ik moet onnoemelijk hard mijn best doen om enkele verschillen te ontdekken met de 11-jarige.
Zouden ze een marketing-loopje met ons genomen hebben? Of had Castro een iets betere binding met het nummer 11?
The dark colour eludes to strong flavour and to start with it is quite harsh with overpowering bitter burnt wood flavours that fade fast. Left to stand for a few minutes on ice opens up the subtle flavours a bit more going from raisin to caramel keeping a slight woody after taste. It ends smooth with caramel and wood. It doesn't start well, but ends very smooth with complex flavours that need coaxing out. One I would look for again.
Smooth and flavorful, not dry but not overly sweet. Great example of what the "taste" of a Cuban Style Rum is.
Hned po otevření, první zklamání, v této cenové kategorii po otevření není korkový špunt. Očekávání dolů. Po ochutnání, noooo, chuť vcelku dobrá, není přislazováno, ale zároveň postrádá něco extra - vůni, chuťový dozvuk - navíc. Velmi dobrá 6 nebo slabší 7, po opakovaném pití se kloním k dobré 6.
I liked it a lot as a mixer. It’s not going to win any awards but for whatever reason it makes a damn fine rum and coke with mexican coke
Rich and dark with a nice smooth flavour. Worth the money
L’11 è decisamente superiore ma anche questo si lascia bere
Great smell, nice color, great aroma but very poor finish. Almost none... great for cakes and pastery...:)
this was a surprise find, as most peiple wanted Havana Club or the 25 year Rin Santiago. We found this extra añejo smooth, quite aromatic and hit the spot for us and the price/quality was the best part of all
Enjoyed this on the beaches Of Cuba from the ‘Meliá Las Antilles” top shelf rum selections. It pleasantly did the trick for holidays - but not sure it’s something I would stock at home. A very sweet profile with mahogany and cinnamon spices finishing the flavors. Mix with cola.
It tastes more like a vegatable distillate i.e. made from beetroot sugar and not cane sugar. No caramel taste at all, no cask taste, strange that it has dark color.
It is unusual but not bad at all.
Have had both the 12 year and 11 year rum. The 11 year definitely rates higher, which I found strange as it beat a 12 year rum.
Nice scent of oak, chocolate and fruit. The taste more boring, alcohol and some spices and a little vanilla at the end
Neither too smooth, nor too taste. Just a decent rum. 11 is a way better!
The rum has full body with stronger alcoholic accent. Brandier one. A touch of raisins.
very underrated this Rum. Very nice for this Price!
Výborný kubánský rum s jemnou chutí a dubovým nádechem
Sampled this rum at the Santiago de Cuba stall at Cardiff Rum Festival.
I would be inclined to rate this 12 year old an 8 but at £60+ a bottle its got to be a 7. The El Dorado 12 is much more affordable and better in my opinion.
It's a good sipper nonetheless and definitely worth trying if you get the opportunity. It's rich, fruity and sweet on the nose. With a fruity flavour, with touches of caramel and nuts.
Offers quite a bite, could not remember much else.
Enjoyed a glass of Santiago de Cuba 25y while vacationing in Brussels. Semi dark color. High end bottle with a nice old fashioned label design. Very flavorful smell test. Nutty and so smooth on the taste test. Tiny amount of burn due to no added sugar but very mellow and pleasant experience. Taste lingers long afterwards when the burn has already dissipated. Definitely worth the 8 score.
Didn't think i would enjoy this as i was really underwhelmed by the Anejo , but it was a big improvement. darker in the bottle than in the glass . pours a nice amber colour .Unfortunately the only smell i could detect was from what i guess was added caramel colouring ? That said it was a nice light , dry and crisp type of rum. Not a sipper for me but another very good high quality mixer.
