Výborný rum na pitie po náročnom pracovnom dni. Pekná vôňa a jemná chuť tohto rumu ho radia medzi top čo som vyskúšal. Kocka ľadu a plátok citróna doladia zážitok. Zatiaľ rum ktorý mi najviac chutil.
Uno dei migliori sul mercato.
Ottimo rum da bere post pasto o in serata, magari accompagnato con un po' di cioccolato fondente al 85% minimo.
Vivamente consigliato per chi vuole iniziare a vivere il mondo del rum.

if this is a liquor i ll talk about it, but is a distillate with sugar (additives) added (41 grams per liter) ... sorry guys, i have it, it s famous (and we sell it a lot) but ... don t understand why so much people give high rating to this,
i love rum, whisky, cognac, brandy, fruit distillates, and i m sad to see what is happening to the rum world,
where so much so called premium brands tend to sugarize their products
and even guys who know this give 9 or 10 to such stuff !
it s ok for a liquor site but not for a rum site ! and it s a popular one that sells well so i have it but i don t appreciate it ! i can drink this with coke but with some fresh lime juice, don t like it even in a daiquiri (rum, sugar syrup and lime)

A bit annoyed with the added sugar but nevertheless lovely to sip. However, I find I cannot have too much as otherwise turns a bit sickly after a while… so smooth.

This was formerly my highest rated rum, which also happened to be one of the ultimate sugar bombs with about 10 teaspoons of added sugar, albeit well chosen for the flavors similar to how a great chef chooses spices for stellar dishes.
Since my only bottle that I took a risk on that exceeded my limit of $50 per bottle slowly rose to the ranks of a 10 rating, I had no choice except to compare the Columbian to this Venezuelan back to back. Sorry, but no contest, since Dictador XO Insolent wins hands down for having my only rating of 10. This DRE rum still ranks at the top of my very small pack of rums that I have rated as a 9, but only one rum of mine deserves a rating of 10 at his point.
Update: My first bottle is now long gone, but deemed to be one of only two sugar bombs worth replacing. The other sugar bomb is El Dorado 12. My new bottle will remain unopened for quite some time. When finally opened, I will record that date in my spreadsheet to make sure that it gets consumed within two months. Sugar bombs never last beyond 3-4 months due to oxidation in the bottle.
This one is also criticized for being a sugar bomb. However, it takes incredible knowledge of chemistry to create the perfect sugar additives. The master distiller for this rum obviously has this task mastered, which is no easy task, This rum will always be my guilty pleasure despite being a sugar bomb.
Update April 12, 2019: It has been many months since I bought more of this rum because I have been getting away from rums that are heavily sugared. The only reason that I recently bought two more bottles was for the fear that the USA will force an embargo on Venezuelan products and we may no longer be able to get their rums. Well, I opened one of the bottles a few days ago and it tastes nothing at all like the DRE that I first fell in love with. They either changed the formula due to multiple criticisms of added sugars, or my taste buds have adapted to appreciate much drier rums. At any rate, I now drop my rating from an 8 to a 7.
