Smooth, delicate, a yota spicy, but feels like has some sugar added. Short, flat aftertaste.

Take Appleton 8 and/or El Dorado 8 for more enjoyment by less money.

Edit at 333 of 700ml progress: bumping up the rating. There's something special what makes me feel well ;)

A rum from El Salvador, aged for 8 years in bourbon barrels. So it's not a solera. 40% ABV.

Bottle: unusual, conical.
Colour: Quite light, golden.
Nose: Intense and quite dry. It smells mainly of vanilla, overripe fruits (mango, banana, orange), floral nectar, wood and a little pepper.
Taste: Quite pungent at the beginning, then it fades slightly. It is drier at first, then turns sweet. I don't think it's a very sweet rum, though. On the palate I detect vanilla, fresh honey on the honeycomb, a slight bitterness from the wood and a lot of overripe orange. The flavour lacks subtlety for me.

Conclusion. This is more of a slightly above average rum.

Overall rating: 6.5 points from 10

Ölig. Leicht nach Zitrone. Auf der Zunge sehr süss vorne aber auch eine gewisse Schärfe run um.

Pour un rhum de 8 ans, vraiment très bon, très doux avec une belle finale.

a neutral nose with a slight hint of alcohol. A very different taste to what I normally drink. I little tangy and the slightest sharp bite that fads quickly before a light slow heat sticks around with a pleasant aftertaste that reflects the original taste as it sticks around for quite a while. I tried it neat and it was smooth with a slight hint of sweetness.

Medium amber in colour. The nose is light but balanced. The flavour is also balanced and very smooth when sipped. It has a mild sweetness, but seems to smooth for 40% ABV, but no hydrometer test was found. $75 at LCBO and worth trying.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Salvador
Aroma: Klasická kožená vůně, k ní se přidává med a jemná kořenitost, skořice a včelí plástve. Později se objeví i pepř a nové koření. (86 b)
Chuť: Na jazyku jemně olejnatý, příjemně nasládlý. Med, kůže. Klasicky rumový, pohodový kousek. Není nijak zvlášť originální nebo zvláštní, ale je fajn. (86 b)
Body: 86/100
Shrnutí: Mé první setkání s rumy ze Salvadoru. Za zmínku stojí, že jde o poctivých 8 let zrání, není to žádný solera systém, při kterém jsou neznalí zákazníci klamáni číslovkami jako 23 a podobně. Pozor na záměnu, osmiletý Ron Maja má ještě limitovanou edici, dozrávanou v sudu po červeném vínu Châteauneuf du Pape. Někteří ji už zde stihli ohodnotit jako tuto nefinišovanou osmičku. K dnešnímu dni tu ještě finišovaná verze není, brzy ji založím a přidám na RR.

The special edition is surprisingly good for 8 years. Normal edition is said to be poor though.

Very well balance with smooth burn, decent honey sweetness and nice aftertaste.
