when compared to the 12 Yr, this smell is more pleasant and smells like a higher quality rum. Very smooth taste, rich and buttery like the 12 yr, but smoother. I also did a side by side of this against ED21, and this seemed a little more abrasive with more alcohol and apples/pears on the nose. ED21 seemed much more complex, pleasant, and mellow on the nose. 85+

This an epic Colombian rum, a well kept secret: it's smooth and have some notes of vanilla and caramel... it's also a good purchase: 40 us a bottle.. try it.

This rum kinda grew on me. At first I wasn't sold at all. Nowadays it's a safe option for sipping.

Treba pochváliť vizuálnu stránku celého balenia rumu. Originálna krabica z tvrdého kartónu, moderná fľaša je síce stále tá istá, ale ako celok pôsobí veľmi pekne. Rum má tmavšiu, svetlohnedú farbu. Je to zmes rôzne starých rumov v systéme solera s priemerným vekom 20 rokov, zrejúca v dubových sudoch. V nose cítiť silnú dubovú arómu v sprievode s karamelom, sladkou vanilkou, škoricou. Vôňa sa v pohári postupne uvoľňuje, treba mu dopriať chvíľku postáť. Veľmi pekná, komplexná a vyvážená aróma. Rum je jemne sladký, v stupnici od 1-10 by som dal 6. Na jazyku cítiť karamel, hrozienka, kakao...v pozadí vystupuje dubová aróma. Celkovo je veľmi hladký, guľatý so stredne krátkou dochuťou. Veľmi príjemné pitie. Otvorene musím priznať, že som čakal od tohto rumu menej, nakoľko jeho mladší 12-ročný brat je podľa môjho názoru bieda.

I think this is currently a better exponent of the Solera method than the Ron Zacapa. I know, blasphemous! This doesn't feel that it has been adulterated with added sugar post distillation. Despite being quite old this isn't heavy on oak flavours, caramel and vanilla are more prominent. As is the case with a lot of solera and spanish style rums this is a lot lighter than the english style. But that doesn't mean it lacks complexity, in fact one of the great things about this is that it's extremely smooth and complex and there's enough to keep you interested each time you try it.

I tried this one couple of days ago and next day went to the same bar to have another two glasses... it is really great, one of the best I have had so far... very complex, sweeter side of spectrum yet very balanced, the smell is very gentle, disappears quickly but it is soooo nice I could inhale it for hours... the taste has some coffee and dark chocolate in it, the aftertaste is very mild and nice, it is a must to try this one! I would love a recommendation for a similar ones in its price range

Klart bedre en lillebror 12års. Mere komplet og bedre balance. Dog mangler den lidt mere power.

In tegenstelling met de 10 years is de 20 years Rum prijs/kwaliteit wel in orde.
Caramel, Fudge, kleine hint van banaan en Sugar cane.
daarbij nog een zéér mooie cadeau verpakking, is mooi meegenomen.
mooi product.

A bartender recommended this on a trip to Colombia. The night was a blurr, but I remember being wowed by this at at $3 an oz. It didnt need to breath at all with a very mild heat and a kick of sweet almost like candy. Complex flavors weren't dancing in my mouth, but it was enjoyable and easy to drink for a beginner who only ever mixed his rums in coke before having this
