Esperaba más, la verdad que para un ron de 18 años se ha de exigir un poco más de pasión

Average but enjoyable rum.

It joins the ever growing list of 7s. Nothing more...

There are some different flavors, hard to pin down .. burnt sugar, some spice maybe . A little of vanilla or cocoa. Sort of sharp, oaky
I like sipping this one. But also mixing it.

15 year Matusalem was a favorite of mine which I preferred to the 18. Then the quality of the 15 dropped off the table a few years back. Still serviceable under $25.

The 18 beats the 15 for sure. Nice aroma mainly vanilla but not over powering. Semi sweet and dry with vanilla, oak a bit of caramel and a hint of whiskey in the aftertaste. This is a fine rum but nothing standing out that makes me think, wow! It is a solid 7.

I really like the caracter of this rum. The notes seem to dance and linger all over my palate. It's a pleasure that is hard to find in rum with the same price range. This one's a keeper! They may have aced the amount of added sugar. It's perfect in my opinion, for rum that needs this kind of help! Not too overwhelming.

A decent, flavorful rum that is not overpowering. I taste caramel with notes of vanilla, very mild peppery and just the right amount of oak. I also taste coconut and there's very little burn at the end (which I like)

This is a perfect Friday night rum where you plan on sipping on a few glasses while relaxing. Not overpowering, yet every sip leaves you wanting something more (I don't know what).

This is one of my got-to versatile rums. It is great as a sipping rum and I feel guilty mixing it.

Light nose with hints of vanilla, smooth flavor with spices, no light after taste

Was given as a present to me. I did smell the vanilla and slight caramel on the nose. Tasted somewhat light to me, with a clean finish and not much burn. Not too complex but overall a nice sipping rum.
