This one is a sneaky bastard.
The nose is not that amazing and the palet seems dull because of that. Then, when you keep drinking, the nose still stay's ordinary, but you start getting a good taste now in your mouth and you will find out that it's not that dull as you thought. The taste is quite nice and the you will keep drinking and will have a glass to many before you notice it...
Do not waste your money on this completey rubbish ... Do not buy at all ... Boring flavour harsh afterburn no thanks
The palate and nose was not what i expected when i opened this.
Not smooth as i like it, with a strong aroma. Urh.. i will not drink this again.
The nose is pleasant, but it is also rather muted, with dominant oak, a bit of a char, spices, and a touch of vanilla. The oak was quite dominant in first shot of the bottle, I might say even overpowering, but it settles down to a pleasant level after a few glasses and a few days. The taste profile reveals honest and unadulterated rum, with a bit of natural sweetness which does not come from added sugar, oak, spices. The aftertaste slightly reminds me of Bajan style, it is direct, pleasant, long lasting, with a sour twist at the end. Not bad, not bad at all. Not sure whether to give it 7 or 8.
Inenjoyed this rum at the price point. Quality rum nice over drink
Color is good. Taste is fair. It could have used more time in the barrels.
Sampled the Botran Reserva 15 yr rum and detected a slight smell and taste of caramel and vanilla. As far as I know this rum has very little, if any, added sugar therefore the sweetness comes from a natural process. The rum, however, is not complex as one would expect from a Solera 15 years. Overall I enjoyed sipping on this rum but it did not WOW me in the least.
Another rum that proves you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a great rum. I found this locally for $24 and after reading some reviews decided to give it a shot. Glad I did. This rum is produced by Industrias Licoreras de Guatemala, the same distillery that brings you Ron Zacapa. But make no mistake, this is not the just a cheap version of the sugary Zacapa. Wonderfully smooth, and just enough sweetness to compliment the play of flavors without over powering them with a syrupy, sugariness. According to other reviewers, it's coming in at a 0-5g sugar test. It mellows into a comfortable finish, with virtually no alcohol burn. I'm giving this an 8 based on quality and price. Will definitely buy again.

Decent Rum
8
/10
out of 10
Despite the promising declaration of 15 years. which might make expectations of this one to rise. need to remember it is Solera 15 years which means that it contains 15 year aged rums to some of it's part but i would assume that the real average and thus also the experience is somewhat equal to fully 7-8 year old Rums. Remembering this and considering the price asked which is more or less what a 7-8 year old aged Rum costs. it should be judged as such. i understand those who got disappointed due to the expectations of a 15 year older.
On the Nose: Dim, Hard to find Traces of developed unique Aromas, Etheric, Sugar.
On the Tongue: Sharp first encounter. Harsh strike of young Alcohols. after getting used a whole rainbow of Sweets and Candies is revealed including hints of Licorice! however be warned that it needs patience to allow it to breathe air. it is Tasty. not too sweet, Dry in the Sense of Appleton.
On the Throat: First Harsh Finish, needs to get used to, becomes nicer from the third sip and on. Dry and Medium in Length.
This is my impression after Two Evenings with it. Deserves the 8/10. It is decent. and though i didn't expect it to be fully matured for 15 years. however i would expect bit more subtle result. it is a Sipper but it makes me afraid to try my luck with it's younger brothers such as the 12 and Anejo 8 as sippers. final words: Decent sipper but Solera result not Balanced enough.
