It is a champion in price/value comparison. Light, sweet taste, good aroma, nice coloring. Compared to its brother 25 years old, this is the nice, adorable little girl :)
The 25 has more streght in taste but this is nice afternoon sip.
Have it, try it.

This is like nectar. Strong nose, Amazing smooth, great balance, notes of caramel and finish with a lingering hint of vanilla.
I’ll be getting a bottle in duty free if I can find it.

So easy to sip! The solera system explains its consistent warmth and sweetness (but not too much!). Plenty of smokiness too, and overall well rounded. Very smooth indeed.

It's good, and it's appropriately sweet (25 g/l), but is has a hollowness I tend to associate with much younger rums that knocks it down a point or two.

I probably would have gone to a nine had this been slightly cheaper. A good sweet smooth sipping rum but not quite as good as it's same priced neighbors. That being aid, would I buy it again? If there was not another dark sweet rum in the price range....yes!
Great aromas of vanilla, caramel and a slight fruity smell, good smooth sipper. I doubt I would use this as a mixer, too good to drink any way but neat.

Beautiful color, great solera system representation very smooth in the nose and spicy / hot finish.

I picked this one up yesterday for $40. Since my bottles of 12 year old solera and 7 year old solera have been long gone, I had to judge this one based upon memory only, along with my reviews for those two.
When I got it home, the aromas from an ounce of it in a snifter reminded me of El Dorado 12. Wow! Was I about to find another rum that could rival ED12? Upon tasting it, all such fantasies went out the window. All I could taste was pepper and extreme sweetness, with a slightly bitter after taste. If I wanted pepper, I would stick with some of those peppery tequilas. Then after reading fellow reviews, I found out that this one is a sugar bomb. Looks like I have to put some of my bland dry rums to use into toning down the sweetness on this one.
This one is NOT a good buy and I wound up initially rating it as a 7.2 in my spreadsheet. I am so glad that I waited so long to finally try this one because if I had started out with this one, I may have rated it as a 9 or 10. Comparing to my true 9 and 10 ratings, there is no way for this one!
A few days later, I tried it on the rocks. Not even ice cubes made from Ozarka spring water could help it. Then I tried it it in a Cuba Libre, which only fared as average. I then had thoughts about pouring the remainder of the bottle down the toilet, but luckily I had orange juice in the fridge to save it. OJ mixed 50/50 with this rum is the only way to save this stuff. They really goofed with the added sugars on this batch. My rating went down to a 6. I will stick with their 12 year solera.
