Austrian Empire Reserva 1863

Perfect choice!
It tastes good, it smells good and its worth buying.

Caramel taste, little sweet, nice dye, very good option for great value, this is worth to have.

It's just about sugar without strength. Easy to drink but taste like liquor not navy.

It has a beautiful rich color, a sweet molasses and honey scent, a creamy and ultra smooth sweet taste of honey. Aftertaste has good complexity with maybe a hint of vanilla.
And best of all, there's no harsh alcohol burn.
An overall fantastic rum!

Good mild canned taste.
It has a good color and aroma.
Medium price.
Enjoyeble good Stuff

Ähnlich dem Botucal Reserva Exlusiva, ein angenehm süßer aber fruchtiger rum! Sehr gut für Einsteiger geeignet!

I've bought this rum based on the rating and YES, truly this is absolutely perfect choice. I've already drunk some better rums but much more expensive. This is my first navy and it delivered my expectations.Strong and sweet however not too sweet and not much alcohol in the aftertaste.

Ron is Excelent, it has Stronger Taste of alcohol but it is also very sweet so everybody like it. Good ron for sailors.

Přesně takto si představuji námořní rum. Sladký, sytý s výrazným, ale příjemným dojezdem .... jako bych tam cítil pepř

I first tried this one on vacation in Istanbul. A little sweeter on my taste, but it is balanced by a stronger alcoholic tail.

Sladky...vonavy...prijemna chut...urcite doporucuji

Rum je celkově v pohodě, chutná jak návštěvám, tak i mě.

Sweeter than I usually like but this is expected when you have to sail. Yarrrrr.

Bottle of Austrian Empire Reserva 1863 is a kind of golden standard for me, the same as Diplomatico RE. It's a bottle, which I am buying whenever the current one is out. This is definitely the best choice in price/value ratio ! If you like sweet and smooth rums, you are on the right address.

It has something very specific in smell, which makes it different from all rums I've tried until now.
I have also 18y version, which is in taste&smell very close to reserva, but less sweet. So go for reserva and you will also spare some money ! :)

86/100

I didnt expect anything and bought it - i never regret it. It tastes good. A little keen outflow. Even if its called austrian its from the UK! Cant do anything wrong if you add it to your collection.

Pro mne naprosto překvapující rum. 40% (voltů) je hodně znát. Slaďoučký je pro mne tak akorát, ale po chvilce se dostaví hořkost. Chuť je naprostá bomba, které vám vybouchne hned po prvním doušku. Každopádně být námořníkem, tak tohle piji pořád a s velkou radostí.

Nothing special, the rum is light, sweet and with a taste of oranges (especially when nosing).

Těžko říci, do jaké míry je v tom nějaký genetický c. k. rakouský archetyp, ale tohle je pro mě naprosto dokonalý námořnický rum. Sladký jako cumel (= tekutý chléb) a neobyčejně dobrý (takovým tím prvoplánovým způsobem, jako švestkové knedlíky s mákem). Na poprvé mi připadala skoro lepší než British Navy Pusser's 54,5%, který jsem doposud za ideální ztělesnění námořnického rumu pokládal.
Druhá láhev mě už ale tolik nenadchla - k správnému požitku je asi třeba mít zrovna c. k. mariňácký rozmar...

On the palate light and sweet, and in the aftertaste persistent.

Ein echter Preis-Leistungs-Knaller. Ja, klar ist mit Zuckerkoleur künstlich gealtert aber er schmeckt echt gut. Ausgewogene Süsse, netter Würzanteil verblüffend Mild für so einen "Billigrum" *g* Ein Rum mit dem man gut auch mal den Abend verbingen und guten Gewissens (gegenüber dem Bankkonto) mal mit Freunden sie komplette Flasche leeren kann, aber auch für das genussvolle Glas am Abend eines stresigen Tages keine schlechte Wahl. Klar gibt es viel bessere Rums aber nicht für den Preis. Ausserdem sieht das Etikett sehr schön aus *g*

tmavy a prijemny rum. Zase mi prislo, ze na tom, koupit na Barbadosu noname rum a trochu si s tim pohrat neni vubec spatny napad.

Aged in American and French oak barrels, this contemporary gem is an elegant medium-bodied Barbados Rum, voluptuous and exquisite with an exceptional bouquet. Its dense mahogany color is magnificent and its aromas are intense and complex. On the palate light and sweet, and in the aftertaste persistent. Requires only one word: Fantastic.

Color: Dense mahogany color.
Nose: Molasses, honey, caramel, cocoa and nuts.
Palate: light sweet.
Finish: Finished with a creamy vanilla. Long lasting taste.
Proof: 40% vol.

I bought this rum at a rum tasting, where I was very surprised. Its roundness and sweetness is spot on, its aftertaste is not as long, as one could wish for with this rum. It can be recommended to sit and sip an evening, but be carefull, it will be gone all to fast. :)
