The nose is smooth with just a slight burn. Slightly nutty with some fruit but not the depth for a sipper. Mixed well with Coke but again not the depth to standout with a citrus soda. Enjoyed but will not stock.

Quite good rum with a good price/qualità ratio. Nice smell of vanille, long lasting in mouth, smooth. To much alcoholic at the beginning. After some minutes and warm up, It works Better.

Sweeter rum, with dark colour and well balanced taste. But The rum taste is not intensive. Very good neutral taste rum.

První ochutnávka přináší velmi příjemný pocit, jak se postupně dostáváme z pevnosti měkkého, lehkého pálení k chuti citrusů a koření, následované karamelem a tmavým ovocem. Je to skoro jako bych pil dva rumy najednou – mladý a starý. Jak objevuji víc, cítim papriku, všehochuť a trochu prachové tóny dubu. Rum se trefuje do zadní strany krku chutí zralých švestek s náznakem čutní. Když se pozastavím, abych si mohl užít závěr, má ústa se zůstávají v pocitu radosti, a jak postupně mizí lehké tóny, vyplývá na povrch chuť koření na pečení a karamelizovaného cukru.

Golden spirit, quite industrial alcholic note. Solera aging, so nothing special at all... it is a very basic rum, I’ve tried both the cuban and the rest of the world version and the cuban one is slightly better. Very entry level and basic one, good choice only if you don’t have much money to spend since it has a good quality/cost range.

Enjoyable to do drink. Very smooth with a slight molasses taste. Good to sip on or mix.

Beautiful date. Looks great, composed, pretty, smells nice. But when it comes down to it, there's no personality here! Especially for an expensive rum, there is so much more to be had! It does everything right. It's inoffensive, no off-odor and minimal funk as a Cuban-style rum normally has. The only problem is that it stops there. I would at least expect some interesting oak spice or round caramel notes, or maybe something interesting about the mouthfeel at this price point.

I have nothing to complain about in terms of taste or experience with this rum. Then again, I have nothing to praise either. And for above $50, there should definitely something to be praised. If you can find it for cheaper, maybe $30-$35, then it's definitely a steal. But for what I spent ($65) you should definitely get more.

Good sipper. For my taste too much burn. For the price i think there's more rums to choose.
