I tried this rum once and I didn´t enjoyed it. It was too dry for me, and no really good taste. I would like to give it a try once more, but not by buying a bottle. But it´s very cheap though.

Nose: caramel and raisins with floral tones
Palate: Soft, then quickly becoming fruitier, with nuanced flavors of roasted nuts, toffee, caramel and vanilla
Finish: the caramel and toffee stay for some time, but no longlasting finish unfortunately

Overall I found this rum rather monotonous and the finish was not that longlasting but it might be a nice sipper for people looking for a starter into the world of rums

A great all around rum for sipping or mixing into custom cocktails. A must for any collection.

I was not impressed by this rum, and I was looking forwards to trying it.

This is really nice rum. Sharp, tobacco, smoke on nose. The first sip warms you instantly. Sweetish, with tobacco flavor. Some vanilla at the end. Bit sharp. Definitely not great choice for beginners, but indeed a lovely sipper.

Amor a primera vista. Mí primer dominicano. Desde la presentación, el corcho, el aroma al abrirlo que se siente de inmediato, gran cuerpo y se deshace en la boca.

Bottle purchased at Central Liquor Des Moines. Crazy cheap at less than $20. Dark gold in color. Super aromatic- leather, cherries, toffee, oak. Flavor less impressive. Light and thin. Oranges. Brown sugar. Still a great bargain.

Une couleur cuivre foncé avec une belle rondeur dans le verre. le nez est léger, léger caramel et floral. En bouche l'attaque est souple et la rondeur vient de suite au palais on sent bien la noisette grillée le côté beurré. La finale est assez courte mais chaleureuse et beurré avec du caramel et du chocolat noir. Rhum simple très accessible qui plaira aux noviced

The taste is 7, but the price-quality raises it up to 8. It is not strong, rounded, complete taste with notes of dried fruits, nuts, smoke, dry cognac aging. Easy, nice to sip.

A nicely balanced cheap rum, on the sweeter side, a bit of chocolate, toffee, vanilla, very easy to drink

This rum is a classic ron to me. Caramel, vanilla, toffee notes are most prominent in my palate, and it has that slight sweetness I expect with this style of rum.
