Really nice rum but a little bit to sweet, great bottle!

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

God men lite för söt. Konsistensen blir nästan trögflytande men ok att sippa.

A great stand by. The latest batch seems to have dialled back there sweetness a touch and added some more dryness? I am wondering g if this is anyone else's impression. The first few bottles I had were noticeably stronger in molasses and caramel sugar taste.

Den første jeg drak, og en rigtig fin rom som især kan lokke mange nye romdrikkere

This rum ticks all the boxes. Aroma, flavour, depth, colour, finish - could drink this all day long. A bottle of this doesn't last long in our household.

A proper rum.

Is a perfect choice for share in a social and closed reunion, hard and soft, good taste with a lot of wood flavor in the end, I want to give the TEN but its not my favorite.

So I'm still new to the rum scen and I have not yet tasted all that many rums. Work that said this is by far the best one thus far. Lacking the proper way to express my self all I can say is; this one spot, it is not in any way aggressive or is smooth lean sweet and have an amazing aftertaste that is full of many flavors I do not have the means to address. My cabinet cannot be without this rum, ever, I always have one bottle at an arms length. Why I not give this a 10 is at this moment is due to my early days in the rum room and I still have many more rums to explore, let's see if this indeed is a full pot once I have tried more of what's out there.
