Ron Esclavo 2015 Gran Reserva 5-Year

Ve vůni i v chutí jemný, nasládlý, poměr cena výkon luxus 👏

Many thanks to Joola69 for sharing this with me as part of rare rum exchange (there were only 2 reviews before mine).

Has a nice sweet molasses, caramel, and vanilla flavor with a touch of spice. But it's rather weak also. Still, a slightly above average rum.

Go with the Esclavo XO Cask instead. That's one of my all time favorites.

At first only a light sweet smell, some sherry and glue, light alcoholic burn but not in a bad way.
The first taste is light bitter and spicy, later on the sweetness appears. It stays during the finish.

Hoci som rumár začiatočník myslím si že je to fajn rum. Má prijemnú vôňu aj chuť je prijemne sladký ale žiadny sirupček. Na začiatok asi fajn voľba.

Rum je sladší už podľa vône. Cítiť najmä karamel a jemne ovocie. V chuti rovnako karamel, vanilku a na záver horkú čokoládu. Toto ma veľmi baví. Naviac za cenu 15,99 za ktorú som ho kúpil je to naozaj super!!

Pitný avšak ničím výnimočný. Nebudete nadávať ale dojmy vám asi nedostanú nijaké

Rum tasting during the global lockdown continued with Ron Esclavo Gran Reserva. Label in the back says aged three to five years. Amber color. Strong vanilla mixed with sweetness and plenty of unaged alcohol to the nose and palate when neat sipped. Harsh and sweet burn. Not so bad in general terms, but knowing how good the rest of the Esclavo lineup really is, better skip this one.

Sweet Nose of vanilla, light apricot and milk chocolate. Actually quite good. Taste of vanilla and bit of chocolate. Sadly a little light but not that bad, but a lack of depth makes it a bit boring. But the Price is right. A few years longer in the barrels would do it good.
