Lidt længe siden jeg smagte den, men husker den som ganske god, lidt væk fra det helt søde jeg normalt er til.

This is truly a high end sipper. So smoth and well balanced. A must have in your collection.

Flot farve, dejlig blød næse. God kompleks smag. En smule krydret, jeg er vild med det.

In the glass, the color is deep, caramel-induced brown. After swirling the glass, thick legs separate after a while, as the rum is quite viscous.
The nose is rather weak, ginger bread, wet pine twigs, slight medicinal note in the back.
The taste is dominated by the added sugar, with very little oak to hold it back. Fruity notes, plums, cherries, brown sugar, very little spice, the mouth-feel is oily and viscous, yet the flavor profile lacks complexity, ending up in non-committal hints of oak tannins still muted by the overall sweetness, and short, lingering sweet burn that is however quite pleasant.
A typical example of a premiumised, Spanish-style "Ron", presumably mainly column still distillate that is moderately sweetened, flavored, which result in one-dimensional flavor profile designed to attract broad consumer base.
Was looking for some Peruvian rum when I was leaving the country last week but was disappointed that they did not have the millionario at the duty free shop. They were however running a huge sale on this bottle So I bought 3 of them at around 45 bucks each intending to give them as holiday gifts because of the beautiful packaging. Well that's not going to happen!
When I opened it and tried the 1st sip I was quite disappointed by the bite which I found overwhelmed the flavors. So much so I put the glass aside and forgot about it. Some time later I saw the glass and what a different experience. The nose totally opened up with rich caramel and banana with a wonderful smoothness and lingering flavor. Beautiful spirit.

Su sabor distinto y su cuerpo deslumbrante nos brinda un experiencia exquisita, con un sabor dulce como la miel y aromas tan placenteros como la vainilla.
Un ron para disfrutarlo solo o en cocktel, y por supuesto siempre apto para el mejor auditorio.

It is very sweet, but quite strong alcoholic flavour. Maybe it needs more time to breathe...

En super lækker Rom, som er utrolig dejlig og blød og rund med fin eftersmag. Kan absolut anbefales.

Sorry...the large amount of sugaring ruins it for me.

I found this rum on a recent trip to Jacksonville and decided to mark one off my wish list.
Now I wish I hadn't bothered.
Apparently my opinion will be going against the grain here but this rum would be great if they hadn't sugared it so much.
Am I drinking rum or molasses with alcohol added?
This could almost be pancake syrup.
The syrupy sweetness is so overwhelming that it hides some elements and flavor profiles that would have made for a great rum.
But someone decided to ruin what could've been a great rum.
Forshame!
Paid way too much for this. Sad. My fault.
I forced myself to try to take extra sips and finally found some vanilla and toffee undertones to it along with some oak tannin. Even a hint of banana.
Beyond that, there's not much.
I read so many praises for this rum. Makes me wonder if I got a counterfeit because what I got sure ain't what others describe. Don't get me wrong...there are some sugared rums that I actually like but this one goes overboard. I cannot recommend it as a sipping rum unless you're into drinking syrup. I could see this being effectively used in drinks with an antithesis of sweetness such as coffee drinks or drinks using more bitters than the average. Any other suggestions? I cannot see this used in fruit-based drinks. The sugariness would be completely off the charts. And not in a good way.
My recommendation? Not worth the $65-70 price. Many better rums for half that.
