This was my first rum when I got into trying sipping rums and I've yet to find one that beats it.

It is a both mild and dense. Rich in flavour but consistent. With great finish.

Yes, because it's sweet and accommodating. There must be a huge amount of sugar added, it tastes like liquid candy with strange aromas, not only vanilla. It isn't a gluey goo like Don Papa or El ron prohibido but still not my taste. Put Coke on it, they can't actually ruin each others taste. Girly stuff, not really a rum, sorry!

Poměrně hodně nasládlá chuť s příjemným dojezdem.
Určitě doporučuji ochutnat.

This rum is quite sharp over the edges but it outstands many rums in it's price category. I'm buying it quite regularly as it is reasonably priced and yet tastes well.

Nice rum, fruit taste, little sweat. In this category I prefer Presidente 15y, but it's definitely not bad at all.

I walked past this bottle a sum total of 400 times and never pulled the trigger on it because something always seemed like a better buy for it's price. I finally bought this guy and gave it nothing but high praise before having it. Now my thing is I quite enjoyed the younger brother of the Diplomatico's was it outstanding? No but it was a a very nice not just for the price but in general. So I finally decided to buy this ugly bastard of a bottle and give it a try. First pop of the top it has that same spice fragrance that Bumbu and Kilo Kai have in it. Which made me excited because for reasons unknown that certain spice is quite good at making a well composed blend, i.e. removing the alcohol burn and making it one complete taste. Pouring it in the glass you get an overburden of alcohol smell and oak. Which is fine by me. However 1 quick swig of this and even letting it breath you get a large bit of burn. It's a very dry burn too, the worst kind. Now I mean you get the oak aged taste with a very very minor hint of that secret spice however the harshness over powers the flavors. After incinerating my tongue with repetitive intake of said liquid in an idea that the harshness would stop eventually (sometimes the first sip of any rum can be harsh) to no success. Ultimately I have found that the anejo is a much better rum in both cost and taste and I will continue to buy that bottle it need be rather than this. Mixed down it's actually a very nice drink with some strong oak and alcohol flavor however when I am paying $40+ for a bottle I don't like mixing. I want to enjoy it for all it's worth rather than polluting with diet coke. Save this one for the shelves and go for the Anejo.
*PS the secret spice is banana

for a Rum to superseed this. Until now, my favourite. It would be a real shame to mix this one. Very sweet and mellow. As I am not real expirienced in categorizing taste, no aroma analogies from me.

Můj úplně první rum, který mi otevřel cestu k dalším :)

Velice sladký a dobrý rum, určitě patří k těm velmi sladkým, já mám takové rád - stále se nejedná ale o likér.

Ovocný, sladký, poprvé mi připomnělo chuť po Coca Cole :)

Velice rád si ho koupím znovu, i když ho porazily další rumy
