It's a bit like the Gran Anejo but with less nuts and more oak. Same sweetness. Expected more

I am always looking for a rum that tastes different, but this one disappoint. You can taste molasses right away, but is just not as tasty as what i am looking for; it just taste the same as other rums.

For me, I am always looking for a rum that is dark, sweet, and smooth; but this one is not.

Good rum, but not the best sipping tasting one…. Where is tattoo…

I didn't expect this rum to be this good. Natural sweetness, dry, yet still really smooth. Love the taste. Perfect for sipping.

Un bon petit rhum à l'espagnole pas cher et sympa. Goût caramel tout en restant léger.

It's pretty smooth and although it's very sweet, I really enjoyed it...

Described as 'smokey' by some of the colleagues here. I think it perfectly fits. Not my fav but good quality drink indeed. I just more prefer rounded taste, sweeter rums with really specific character and this one is lil bit forgettable.

Little sweetness, smooth taste, nothing to complain about but nor impressive as well.

Not too sweet, not too dry, not too strong. It has some mild dark flavour to it but little aftertaste, which I think it's what could improve this rum ratings one or two points. Fairly cheap and definitely easy to sip. I will enjoy it once, but I wouldn't buy it again for myself.

It comes in a black-and-gold-printed sturdy cardboard box, which makes it an excellent corporate gift.

It tastes stronger than Barcelo Imperial Onyx, good rum for the price.

Something is missing in this one. It isn't harsh nor smooth, but dry and not that complex. Not my type, wouldn't buy again.
