Tried this at a friend's for which I was grateful, ax I haven't tried many South American rums.
Typical Spanish style flavours.
Not much smell, faint brown sugar.
Taste is pretty simple and smooth to start. Brown sugar and oak with a sliht touch of leather. The finish is pretty sharp though. There's a definite bite about it and bizarrely a touch of sweetness comes through at the same time.
Overall, this was much less distinct than Cuban rums. It lacks the tobacco vibe. It's very drinkable but pretty bland at the same time. I would go for Havana Club 7 most of the time.
Aangename, gerijpte geur. Droog, zacht, erg kruidig, iets weeïg, de eerste aanzet heeft veel smaak, maar mist daarna structuur en concentratie. Vanille, zoethout, rooibosthee, kandij, melasse.
Intens, matige balans, weinig gelaagd.

The first time I bought this, I didn't really know what I was doing, but the bottle looked super cool and every mix was incredible. This might've been the rum that made me realize that stepping up from the bottom shelf really was worth it, opening me up to this entire world.
Got another bottle recently to try it as a sipper. It can be had for the equivalent of a little under $30 where I live. Lovely caramel color, has a balanced scent straight out of the bottle, doesn't need to open up too much. Has a bit of caramel taste to it, but without being super sweet (if that makes any sense), balanced with vanilla and what I think is oak.
Basically it just comes across as an honest, no extra sweeteners added rum that I hold up there amongst my favorites.
For 12YO rum I'd expect more smooth taste. Little to harsh for my palate.

Nice from the start.. enjoyed this. One of those rums that turned out exactly like you thought it would be. Flavoursome with a sweet beginning and pleasant bitter after taste. Would buy again

Tasty and relatively delicious rum, with distinct notes of vanilla and caramel. The taste lingers for a long time. Would buy again!

The taste of alcohol is somehow dominant over other flavor.

Didn't hate it, didn't love it. Certainly much better with a coke. If you're looking for a nice sipping rum, I would look somewhere else.

Honestly, for a rum aged 12 years it is very harsh. At least the Jamaican rums have some flavor to compensate for the bite. This just burns with very little pay off.

I instantly liked it. Nice and smooth

I've changed my rating to a 7. It is an excellent sipping rum, straight without ice. Reasonably smooth and it has a nice rum flavor. Those are important characteristics of rums that I like, I generally don't care for spiced rums or harsh ones. It is not particularly complex, so that keeps it from being rated absolutely superb. However, it perfectly fills the need for a great tasting, smooth, sipping rum.
