Not as good as the 15 year but that is setting an unfair standard. Still this stands well as a very enjoyable sipper. An added bonus is the price point.

At least my country, this 12year is actually cheap and can deliver a lot for the price.
Fruity, but not so overly sweet as some others.

right off the bat, you get a very oaky aroma with fruitiness and spice. it’s very mellow and went down real smooth for me. you can easily sip on the rocks , but also mixes greatly with cola, you can still taste the flavor heavily in it!

Nice to have this with some ice and let it rest a while. I prefer sweeter liquors, but i think this is better than Zacapa 23

I still don't like rum by itself, but the aftertaste of this one almost changed my mind. Great tiki mixer.

Lovely 12 year old sipping rum that's smooth and sweet with hints of caramel. Neat with two cubes of ice is perfect. Great quality for the price.

Good rum with a strong aroma and good taste of fruit, honey and vanilla. Good value for money.

Rhum avec beaucoup de sucre ajouté (~35g/L), trouvable à prix légèrement coûteux (40-50€) chez un vendeur de spiritueux.
Il m'a introduit tout en douceur dans le merveilleux monde du rhum, très caramélisé de par son sucre ajouté et n'attaque pas, il donne une porte d'entrée facile aux personnes qui sont attirés par la douceur du rhum, et une excellent transition vers d'autres rhums plus secs et souvent sans sucre ajouté.
Pour les plus habitués, il est toujours sympa d'avoir de côté pour être partagé ou siroté tranquillement si le sucre ne rebute pas.
