Arehucas 12-Year

Bought this in Lanzarote, was cheap at €25 so wasn’t expecting much. It’s not got much too it however it’s got a light vanilla note, decent sweetness and is fairly smooth. Definitely not as complex as other 18 year old rums but maybe something to do with the limited temperature range in the Canary Island hampering ageing.

Smells ok, for 12 y old is not really much to get...
And not much in the mouth.

Not quite smooth enough to be a sipper. Quite good flavour though.

I did not like this rum at all. A 12 years should be a whole different story. Much better considering at least the 18 if you want to stay with the Arehucas brand.

Samme kraftige duft af vanilie, som 7-års og den anden 12-års de har. Smagen er bare sprittet, og det er stort set det, der er at sige. Der en et lille strejf af vanilie og dybde, men spritten får hurtigt overtaget.

Smagt igen i 2020:
God duft. Karamel, frugt og ristede nødder. Smagen giver varme i halsen. Et strejf af pebet og sprit. Dårlig balance. Brændt karamel. Karamel i eftersmagen. Virker vandet. Fik 6 ved anden smagning. Derfor opgraderet fra 4 til 5. (23. december 2020 i 1423)

Anehucas is a good rum if it is the only one you have

This is made in the Canary Islands where I live, and Arehucas, specially this 12 years, is made in the island of Gran Canaria being the best rum among the islands.

Best rum from canarian islands, not bad, but not excelent, still some burn from alcohol.
It is between 6 and 7, I give 7 due to very nice bottle.

Das seltsame oder auch spannende sind in meiner Flasche umher schwimmenden kleinen "Stückchen" "Piraten Boot Fass" wie wir an einem erfrischenden Abend beschlossen haben. (Jedoch bisher nicht geklärt ist, ob es normal ist.) Ansonsten der leicht herb und rauchige Geschmack passt gut an kalten Tagen (v1.0)

Pensavo ad un livello superiore rispetto all'etichetta oro ma è praticamente uguale
