Smells sweet like Ron Zacapa Solera 23 but only has half of the familiar taste from that rum. The dried fruit and raisiny flavors are the same but the finish is totally different and has a noticeable dryer tobacco/leather/scotch flavor. I had to sip it a few times b4 I could figure it out when I suddenly yelled out loud "Scotch"!
Overall it honestly tastes like a mix of sweetened rum and scotch. If you like both spirits then you may just love this. 6/10 because it doesn't taste like rum but is unique. Update: I've just tried Appleton 12 year rare blend and it has some similar flavor to this, apparently this scotch-y taste can be found in other rums as well. Update 2: obviously upon writing this review I was unfamiliar with funky Jamaica/Guyana style rums that give the flavor of what I thought then to be reminiscent of scotch. I only knew that this tastes like Zacapa but different on the finish. I remember it being quite sugared tho and will have to revisit at some point and might actually like it this time now that my palette has had more experience.

Very good and balanced rum, not to heavy or exceeding aromatics, round and showing excellent QPR. 7.6 pts now.

I first tried this rum a couple years back and i never really got on with this rum. At times I enjoyed it then at times I didn't. Will need to give it another go and hopefully change my review.

I like this rum neat or mixed on a drink. It is dry and not overly sweet. At its price point a great started rum. Especially if you buy it in Panama City.

Neměl sem žádná očekávání ,a neskutečná bomba. Kdybych měl whiskaři doporučit rum, určitě tenhle. Tahle nakouřený rum sem zatím neměl. Je tam samozřejmě i dřevo a je relativně sladký, nic suchého. 12 let v sudu jde opravdu poznat. Za mě takový nenápadný poklad.

Áno, nechal som sa inšpirovať "HunterRomario". Super, sladký, trochu trčí alkohol, ale tá chuť, ... túto chuť môžem, aj keď cenovo Marti15 vychádza lepšie a El D12 tiež, ale tá chuť...Super, ďakujem :-)
