This rum is very genteel on nose. I can sent oak an a bit of vanilla. The taste is surprisingly bitter and spicy. You can feel oak and some “chili”. The aftertaste is long and spicy and for me this is the best part of this rum!

Goût de caramel fumé, excellent pour dégustation, un peu sec par contre, pas cher pour un bon rhum en république Dominicaine (30$ can).

Desi culoarea e de rom dark gustul e de rom golden. Gustul si mirosul se amesteca fara ca vreunul sa fie pregnant cu exceptia celui de alcool.

Schöne Flasche und sogar Nummeriert. (Nachbewertung vom 28.12.2018)
Tja, auch schon das beste an diesem Ron. (Nein)
In der Nase fruchtig und etwas bissig. (Relativ dezent, Karamell, Kakao, Leder, Früchte, nicht bissig)
Im Gaumen doch etwas zu flach, Trockenfrüchte, Toffee, Leder. (etwa so)
Nicht so süss. (jawohl)
Abgang schwach.
(Gutes Preis/Leistung Verhältnis für Einsteiger.)

Beautiful bottle and even numbered.
Well, even the best thing about this Ron.
a slightly fruty and biting nose.
On the palate, a bit too shallow, dried fruits, toffee, leather.
Not so sweet.
Weak in the finish.

This is a surprisingly good rum. I didn't have high hopes reading the ratings and knowing I prefer a sweeter rum, but this one is good.

Nose for me is brown sugar and oak, while the taste is more smoky and long finish. Slightly spicy, bitter, and tart, but not overpowering. Slightly one dimensional without new flavors surfacing after the initial sip, I wonder if 3-5 more years of cask aging would really have improved this one.

Average sweetness and quite easy. Fruity taste with oak/wood, some coconut and honey.

Nice, Smokey, live, and some sweetness like charamel. Very soothing. Excellent for nights of taking about life and company :)

Notes of chocolate ganache, strong aroma, citrus notes - specifically orange
Flavor has notes reminiscent of orange curacao/contareu, easy to drink neat. Slightly bitter chocolate aftertaste. Very nice rum. Picked this up while in the Dominican - appears to be a numbered series.
