A sugar-free 18-year old, ultra premium rum that is sustainably produced (Carbon Neutral & Fair Trade certified). From a 5th generation family estate, it is naturally aged without artificial ingredients, distilled 100% with renewable energy and KOSHER certified.

In de neus krijg ik plots een flashback naar een sherry-tasting in lang vervlogen tijd. Deze Nicaraguaan kan niet verstoppen dat hij liggen slapen heeft op eiken vaten. Het rokerig eikenhouten aroma ontdek je al meteen bij het inschenken waarna je ook een lichte geur van leer zal vaststellen.
Ook bij het proeven van deze mooie rood getinte rum komt het hout onmiddellijk terug. Alsook mijn flashback: kort, krachtig, vrij droog met een kruidige toets. Maar dit alles verdwijnt vrij snel en laat je achter met een droge mond die nog meer van dat wil.
Geen aanrader voor de zoetekauwen onder ons maar eerder de ideale rum om de notoire cognacdrinker in te wijden in de geneugten van onze geliefde Caraïbische distillaten.
Naar mijn mening de perfecte rum om van te genieten met een onbezoedeld smaakpallet (ja rond 11 uur in de voormiddag) met een perfecte aperitiefsigaar!

The rum comes in a nice bottle, is 18-years old, color is gold/amber and this promises a lot. Sadly the rum needs 5-10 min to loose an unpleasant alcoholic scent, then becomes a better and you discover various aromas (spices, toffee, caramel). But these tones I do miss in the taste.

All in all it is not what it should be for such a high price/expectation.

I've gone through more than a few cases of the 12 yr, finding it to be a great social rum. Tried the 18 on several occasions and still have a bottle in the (home) cabinet. Strangely enough, I've always found the 12 year to be slightly smoother than the 18, but to each his own.

Tja - det er en rom - men det er ikke Whau oplevelsen der kommer springende ud af flasken. Dufter fint men smagen er nok en "smagssag"

It's not a bad rum but I would put it more in the $30 price range than the $55-60. It has a sizable bite for 18 years of age. Strong caramel aftertaste, most other flavors and the entire nose is lost to the alcohol smell.

I would say, "age it for another few years" but I'm unwilling to spend the outrageous sum of $125 to try it with 25 years on it!

Bouche riche, sèche et corsée avec des notes de chocolat noir, de caramel, de noix grillées et d’épices. Un final long avec des saveurs de chêne, de vanille et de noix.

In my collection, the description follows later. I have to taste it again (but I know, that it is a great rum).

Chuť ostřejší čokolády. Příjemná lehká vůně a barva.

Un corps léger, un peu trop pour le prix à mon avis, mais demeure très agréable.

A light body, a little too much for the price in my opinion, but still very nice.

Very smooth taste, rounded and well balanced, small boots of tobacco and citrus fruits
