Goldenes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase am Anfang sehr leicht, fruchtig und blumig. Jeh länger Er atmet umso mehr gehen die Düfte in die tiefe, gebranntes Karamell, Leder, Tabak, dunkles Holz, Lavagestein.
Im Gaumen, kompromisslos ehrlich und ohne Firlefanz. Angenehm jagen die Aromen von unreifen Früchten, Karamell, Vanille und Eichenholz über die Zunge. Jegliche Süsse fehlt.
im Abgang, sehr holzig und scharf und doch sehr lieblich. Auch die fruchtigen und blumigen Töne schwingen nach.
Ein Ron für Geniesser, finde jedoch diese art von Ron könnte noch ein paar Jahre im Fass lagern, freue mich auf eine Verkostung des 25 yo.

Golden amber in the glass.
In the nose at the beginning very light, fruity and floral. The longer he breathes the more the scents go into the deep, burned caramel, leather, tobacco, dark wood, lava rock.
On the palate, uncompromisingly honest and without frills. The aromas of unripe fruits, caramel, vanilla and oak wood pleasantly haunt the tongue. Any sweetness is missing.
On the finish, very woody and spicy and yet very kind. The fruity and floral tones also resonate.
A Ron for connoisseurs, but think this kind of Ron could be mature for a few more years in the barrel, looking forward to a tasting of the 25 yo.

Reasonably good sipping rum, but a bit too less sweet for my taste. Also, not as smooth as other rums with similar age (e.g. Abuelo). Still, definitely recommendable.

Lacking in almost every aspect. Diluted flavour. A bit sweet. Ok for sipping, but won’t be a tremendous experience.

Rhum pleins de promesses au nez et à la première attaque mais totalement dépourvue par la suite, petite déception.

This rum is for those who like dry rums. Intriguing bottle.

One word fits this rum, BLAH! I like the 7yr but it's a hard find. The list is $42 & I found it at $36 so, Hey why not? Again BLAH!

The smell is promising but the alcohol just overpowers the taste, Shame could be a solid rum.

Looking to start my rum journey and this was ton offer so I took the plunge, a noticeable step up from a basic rum but not quite as sweet as I would like.

It’s good, it has a long lingering aftertaste but just a little too much toasted coconut on it. All in all a solid rum.

La couleur très brune m’a fait penser a un spicy mais son côté mielé lui apporte une douceur incroyable. A la fois très agréable et très complexe

This was probably one of the first nicer rums I purchased. As a tiki hobbyist, the Zombie recipe does call for a Column Still Aged rum and this one fit the bill. For that purpose, I find it to do quite well.

I do not find a ton of complexity in this rum but I also feel like that is more on my untrained, newer, palette than on the rum. Strongest note for me is that of brown sugar.

Update: As I have continued my rum journey, I find this rum to really be lacking. I think I originally gave it the 7 based on the age statement and having little comparison. Nowadays it just seems to lack the character I expect of a 12 and the mouth feel is super thin. Kind of a disappointment.
