Seems that the rebranding of 18 left a lot to be desired. Not as good as I remember by far. Still a good rum, but the original 18 was better.

Smells or rich toasted sugars, blackstrap, leather boots and vanilla. Sweet/ balanced flavors. Moderate body. Moderate alcohol warmth. Notes of brown sugar, vanilla, fried stone fruit. Hints of oak and mace. Very tasty. Really nice to sip on ice. Let the flavors open up as it mellows

This rum is aged with 2 runs. Needs to be a full 18 yr. Goes better with pineapple and orange juice

I have always enjoyed rum and cokes and decided to start sipping. Starting with this one for sipping and I like it and yet on the fence. For price and description had hoped for better. I'll give a 5 for now.

Got this from my wife for my birthday. Was blown away with the overall flavor and smoothness.

I loved the older versions that were labelled with years. The 23 year was one of my favorites. Not sure what changed but now they have chosen to move to the terms of Reserva and Gran Reserva. Very light caramel aroma. Caramel taste at the front end. I get a slight warming sensation quite a bit after.

Sampled at the Laka Lono Rum Club tasting on 8/9/22. Much hotter than the Reserva. Muted aroma. Big vanilla flavor. Much more woodiness. mild finish. Meh.

Very mild aroma with a stronger finish. Good just on ice, and better with each sip.

I became a K & S devotee when I first had the smooth and delicious 23 yo a3 years ago. This is like comparing a reasonably dependable Kia to a classic Rolls Royce. 👎
Anyone have a suggestion for a good replacement?

I have no idea how the much-rated version of the 18y tastes here. Instead, I just got a Gran Reserve and it's hard to evaluate or compare. The taste is very specific, but I don't like it very much. In addition, the round bottle takes up a lot of space. I do not recommend.

Netuším, jak chutná zde tolik hodnocená verze 18y. Místo ní jsem právě dostal Gran Reserva a těžko hodnotit, nebo srovnávat. Chuť je velmi specifická, ale moc mi nechutná. Kulatá láhev navíc zabírá moc místa. Nedoporučuji.
