Good sipper, doesn't mix well. Smooth but still offers up a little burn. Overpriced for what it is.

A pesar que este ron cuenta con un llamativo color, y un buen aroma, al probarlo a mi parecer es un ron simple sin sabores trabajados, si bien no es un ron netamente seco. Es a mi parecer un ron soso, que no equivale lo que cuesta.

Strong and bold, a little rough. Goes great with a cigar, and I am not a smoker. had several glasses but could not bring myself to spend the money for a bottle.

Paired this with a Montecristo Edmundo and has been on the shelf for a few years before opening it up for the first time. Excellent rum- just a top shelf Cuban rum. It has more "bite" than the top of the list Santiago de Cuba (25 and 20 year olds) but its unique taste gives it a big thumbs up. Always take my rum neat. Rich taste and relatively strong due to alch content but very well balanced. It is a bit "peppery" and stays on the tongue and palate but subtle.

Fragrant of dried coconut candy (which we complement with all serving rums) and dried raisins with a hint of cinnamon.
Taste of fresh sugar cane juice and tangy-ness of unripe peach, buttery, toffee and slightly peppery.
Medium finishing with buttery and nutty cashew nuts lingering towards to end.

Beautiful sweet flavoured rum that so smooth for sipping no need to mix

Probably mostly works as a sipping rum, if now that is a bad thing. Many pleasant notes and goes down smoothly. Overpriced as hell ofcourse...the barrel proof version is a lot cheaper and at least as good.

Meget rund og blid og langt bedre end Maestros, men til prisen mangler den noget.

I waited a long time to get my hands on this rum(thanks big Bill!!).
This did not disappoint; except maybe the price which was 160 American and that's like 5000 Canadian these days.
This one sort of reminds me of Diplomatico Exclusive Reserva in that there is a lot going on in there. It has a nice bold tobacco-like dry taste with a great black current nose.
It is as smooth as anything and goes great with a Cohiba Madura.

Itβs good but not exceptional in any way.
Quite weak nose and afterburn.
It got itβs rating because of the smooth and quite complex taste in mouth.
So Iβm not sure itβs pricewhorty.
I will buy me Bottles of Seleccion the Maestros and Union in near future and compere them.

Now I have tasted the Seleccion de Maestros and I must say that the 15yo is not really pricewhorty to a price three doubled the SdM. Itβs of course better cause itβs smoother and doesnβt taste as much alcohol as the SdM. So I wonβt change my rating.
I will in a short time compere it with the Union.
