Quite nice taste not too sweat, tastes a bit like wood
Sabe como huele, tiene ricas notas dulces de caramelo y madera, se puede tomar solo o mezclado, me gusta!
Very little sweetness, molasses and coffee prevalent.
Tengo que reconocer que me ha gustado...la suavidad con que entra el sabor que daba y el golpe de los 40 grados, cómo dice la etiqueta los barriles de cómo dulce se notan , seguro que compraré el de doce y la verdad por 19'95€ pues hay que disfrutar antes que el desastre nacional me alcance
Having tried several rums from Mexico over the years, I can almost certainly proclaim, that they are not to my taste. I have tried the 12-year from this brand and did not care for it, so I had little hope for its big brother
Nose: Raisins, prunes, brown sugar, caramel and vanilla
Taste: Raisins, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and honey with a very sweet and sticky aftertaste
Overall: This is once again a below average rum from Mexico. It is slightly better than its younger brother, but it is way to one-dimensional and sweet for me. Mexico should really stick to making tequila.
What is this? A rum? Really?
Nose of full sweetness, but then: coffee? Salty toffee, light spicy bitterness. Ripe fruits. Thrilling combination.
Palate: vanilla, coffee, light leather, oak and sweetness.
Long finish with pepper, spices, coffee and fruity vanilla.
Very interesting rum, never had one like this before.
Große Erwartungen wurden enttäuscht. Im Cuba Libre sehr mild und wer es wenig spannend mag...okay. Pur getrunken wich mild einem hölzernen fast muffigen Geschmack.
Doux et agréable à boire, il est sur les arômes de café et caramel.
Found it tough to figure out the taste as it is quite neutral, rather on the sweet side of rums.
Try to get a well lit shot from the front of the rum label

Cool looking bottle, though the writing is all in Spanish. Nice real cork stopper.
First glance - dark, looks like a strong molasses rum. Slow, thick legs on the glass. Nose ... Odd. Hints of banana bread (though *not* bananas). Something harsh, like an astringent. Slight smoke. As always, I start neat First taste is harsh. This is not a smooth, easy sipping rum. A little more air, and it's still strong. Not strong of alcohol though, it has a very unusual taste. I think it needs ice. A little chilled, after the ice has melted a bit, and it softens up considerably. I can still get the hint of banana bread, and a little more sweetness. A little easier drinking now. But there still something odd, I wonder what this was aged in? Does not seem like oak. It has a very sharp after taste, and seems much more raw than 15 years of Solera aging would suggest. (Perhaps that is just marketing, and not the real age?)
Mixing this into a rum and coke, whatever bite it has is still there. There is an underlying taste to this that I can't identify, and it is very prominent. Not overwhelming, but definitely there.
When I started this review, I gave it a 5. I've since dropped it to a 4. I'm not impressed, for the price it is underwhelming, and I don't particularly enjoy it. If I could have tasted it first I would not have bought the bottle. If you could find the right mix (perhaps Ginger beer?), this might be salvageable. I'll have to keep looking though.
Not great neat. Drinkable on ice or with coke, but not great any way so far.
** Another update. I figured I'd give this another try. I really can't get into it. It's not so bad that I won't finish the bottle, but there's a smell and taste of something harsh in it. I've dropped my rating to a 3.
