Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo 20-Year

I like it is not too sweet for a Ron, nice nose but rest is very flat, almost watery, too bad it had a nice start

It's a classic cuban style, not so sweet and great taste. A interesting aftertaste, perfect with an cigar.

Wow, I like this one a lot. Awesome nose and taste, a long lingering finish. Not just sweet, I also sense a bit of soy, which gives a lovely contrast. A keeper!

When I spent 2 weeks in Cuba I felt in love into Santiago de Cuba 7 year old, after return I would like to try also something more old and smooth, but after try of this one older, not too cheap I was quite disappointed. Rum is good, but I expect bigger difference.

Geruch nach Walnuss, Zuckerrohr, sehr fein.
Im Geschmack findet man die Geruchsnoten wieder, plus getrocknete Früchte,
das ganze mit einer natürlichen Süße und ein wenig Alkohol im Abgang, sehr gefällig.

Fazit: bis jetzt der beste Santiago de Cuba den ich verkostet habe. 8+
Er ist ausgewogener als seine Brüder mit 11 und 12 Jahren, schmeckt besser, kann sich aber nicht so klar absetzen, besonders vom 11 Jahre alten, wohl weil dieser auch ein besonders guter Rum ist.

Wenn der Preis stimmt ist aber der „Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo 20-Year“ in allen Punkten die bessere Wahl. Ich werde ihn sicher wieder nachkaufen.

Soft nutty smell with light first bite. Comes afterwards with some strength and vanilla and leaves nice aftertaste. Rather big tumbler than a nose glas to my taste. Strong recommendation.

A decent rum, that's a little nicer than Santiago du Cuba Anejo, but at 9 times the price... not worth it.

Not a bad looking bottle to have on the bar. Really inviting nose with solid notes of muscovado sugar, camamelised and roasted nuts, cigar leaves, round oak and hints of liqourice and wooden lacquer. This one got things going on, but it feels well put together with all the notes meshing nicely.
The taste is bold and potent but retains a nice and semi dry elegance at the same time.
Notes of dark chocolat, mokka and well integrated oak flairs up in the mouth with a long finish, ending on spices and caramel.
There is a shade of sweetness to the taste but hydrometer tests show no sign of additives. This is definitely among the best cubans i'v had so far. The quality and characteristics would almost put this rum in the same ballpark as Appelton 21 and fleur de cana 25. Great.
