Cubaney Gran Reserva 15-Year

Maybe rating sth else, but 15 Estupendo I consider as very good choice for the money

What a hard find the Cubaney Gran Reserva 15 year really was. It took me over 3 years to find a bottle and now I'm looking forward to trying the 18 and 25 year old Cubaney's. The 15 year had a very deep flavor profile, surprisingly strong tobacco flavor to it and a very nice and long finish without any burn. Definitely a strong positive surprise.

Cubaney is yet another fine line of rums created by Oliver and Oliver. Strong flavor of chocolate, vanilla, oak and spice. This rum is on the sweet side but is smooth which the long time aging in barrels has been able to achieve.
For about $40 a bottle, this makes a nice top shelf rum to be enjoyed neat.
Looking forward to collecting and trying it's older and younger siblings.

Sweet, slightly alcoholic smell with a hint of oak.
Light, sweet body with caramel notes.
Slightly oily feeling with with a slight oaky aftertaste and a light to medium alcoholic burn.

Very nice sipping rum if you prefer sweeter rums with a slight edge.

I love this Rum for sipping neat. It has a lovely sweet taste but not OTT, a real depth of flavour and a very smooth finish.

Good little dry taste of rum. Taste stronger and little spicy. Anyway for the price good rum. Together with cigar (stronger) good combination.

I am getting the sherry flavor like from the 25-30y, but it is more fresh due to the mint.

Very woody in nose, didnt expect the amount of sugar. I am not a big fan of sweet rums, but in this one i found it quite pleasant. Nice and rich body with the touch of sweetness made very complex impression. Goes down the throat very easily and you want to have another glass.

Typical sherry aftertaste (very common for oliver & oliver rums).
