Santiago de Cuba Anejo 8-Year

Very good ron for only 26€, truly raccomended. I prefere this Santiago 8 on Havana 7

Bought this on a recent trip to Cuba. This is a very versatile rum. It is not too expensive to mix and yet it is quite palatable straight.....if you like Cuban-Dominican rums.
It is not overly sweet nor does it have an alchohol aftertaste like many lower tier rums. It has a taste similiar to that of the 12 year old (my favorite), albeit not as pronounced. Living in Canada, l can only hope that the LCBO picks this up....

I've had Santiago de Cuba 11yo, 12, 20, anejo and extra Seco, and I liked all of them. Now it's aged min 8 years and again it's a pleasure to consume.
Easy aroma with hint of alcohol.
Oily, oaky, fruity and smooth on palate. Yota of alcohol burn. Absolutely on par with it's elder 11, 12yo brothers while being 2½ times more affordable.
Long, addictive aftertaste.

Bravo Santiago de Cuba!

Orange , cloves , tobacco ,

Tasting
Apple, honey , oak , tobacco , pepper

Légèrement sucré et délicat en bouche, rhum très dorée

You definitely notice a lot of wood and abscense of additives; that's why I think it's a straight honest rum. It ain't the best but it's not cheating.

Rhum facile d’approche avec un taux de sucre assez élevé. Sur le caramel et boisé. Beau produit pour le prix

Orange, clove and caramel in aroma; honey, tobacco, apple and barrel in body; short tail.

This is a very impressive rum, especially considering i managed to get a bottle for only £21!

Much prefer this with a mixer than neat, but it is smooth

Decent rum for a good price. Taste itself isn't sophisticated but there is not much alcohol aftertaste which makes it feel more expensive than it actually is.
