I was surprisef when i saw 15y aged. I honestly don't taste the age tha much. If you compare it to other 15y old standard (ie ED15) it misses complexity, but !!! The taste is amasing good. I wasn't expecting it. Full of fruty notes on a base of vanila. Perfect for a summer, or after a desert. Less vanila then a dzama, more balanced, smooth sweet rhum. This was one of the 3 bottles i bought at the last rumfest. I just think the 15y complexity is missing (5/10), but as a spiced rum it's (9/10) so i give it a solid 7

Unique flavour of rum reminiscent of papa don. Caramel has fruit flavourings with hint of spice. Reminds me of cream soda because I cant put my finger on the flavour. Not bad but couldn't drink all the time.

Zu aller erst.... der hat nen sehr eigenen und leckeren Duft und Geschmack. Wie ne bappsüße, überreife Banane. Klasse, sag ich. Ich fand in pur ganz geil und hab ihn in einen Ananas Mojito und da kam er auch sehr gut. Empfehlenswert.

Great for just sipping. Sweet and strong on the vanilla. Not as strong as some like. Try the XO for a little more punch.

Low alcohol content, almost no burn on the sip. Plenty of sweet fruit smell and taste on the tongue. Most dominant is the banana (not as much as in Arcane Extra-aroma) and coconut. But not really a rum per-say. Works great as dessert after Sunday lunch or dinner. Will be welcomed by most female drinkers and looks stylish (if maybe a bit childish) on the shelf.
If you want a rum to enjoy the flavors and power, stay away. If you want a fun alternative to the Legendario elixir, give it a try.

A nice sweet rum, the tastes of banana, vanilla & sweet caramel could be a bit much for some but it's a smooth rum you should try at least once.

Vraiment sucrée, vanille genre gateaux vanille. Rum de dessert

I got a chemical (almost acetone) aroma. However, I got past that and was rewarded with a warm vanilla and cherry flavor, with a nice spicy end. Good stuff.

First of all I have to say that I enjoy most of the sweet thing. While they claim there is no sugar or flavor added... Ehh I can't believe it. There is no doubt that they add something and I will not say it is a rum for connoisseur. I still have enjoyed it though but will not recommend it as a true rum.
