Cubaney Solera Reserve 8-Year

The bottle is simple and flawless in its simplicity. The aroma is simple - solera and honey.Taste is plain, monosyllabic, too sweet. Though buttery, tart, nutty, acid. And behind all this, it burns! The bitterness appear after fourth shot. Unexpectedly clean drink - no storm in the morning.

Looks like a cheap rum but surprised with a easy taste. Not a champion regarding the smell and taste but definitely easy to drink.

Enjoyed a bottle of Cubaney 8y with my friend while vacationing in Punta Cana. Very flimsy black cardboard box contains a rather fancy old school bottle and label design. Light golden color. Very sweet notes to the nose and palate when neat sipped. Very sweet ending also. Decent as a mixer, but struggles to earn a 7.

Not so sweet, not full-bodied, but not bad rum.
It is elegant and nice aroma.

Light young solera rum with wooden character and hints of sweetnes of honey anf toffee. Easy to dring but missing some complexity

Kdo nemá rád sladké rumy a nechce utratit moc peněz dobrá volba. Je to rum žádný Elixír. Důstojný bojovník v podobné cenové konkurenci.
Suchý, dřevitý méně ušlechtilý ale podobný Angostuře 1919.

Nevím, jestli jsem od toho rumu očekával moc, ale je příliš cítit alkoholem. Budu ještě muset vyzkoušet starší ročníky.

Yet another nice rum from the Dominican Republic in the Oliver and Oliver arsenal. This rum has a nice ensemble from the second it reaches the tastebuds to down your throat. Makes me think of Christmas with its nice display of cinnamon, cloves and vanilla. Great as a sipper or mixed with eggnog...yes eggnog.

Notes of fruits, coffee, chocolate and spices. Good average rum
