A lot of people are rating this high then me. So I need to try again to see what I am missing. This had oak, grass and earthy tones.

I like rum for the sweetness. This is just too dry for me, reminds me of rubbing alcohol. As a mixer it is fine (however a very expensive mixer), but straight up just doesn't work for me. It is my least favorite so far of the higher-end rums.

Tasted at Laka Lono on 11/6/22. Pours reddish amber. Honey and a mild oakiness to the aroma. Fruity and caramel. Leather notes. Medium thickness to the palate. Good, but should be better.

Une note qui n'a pas arrêté de dégringoler au fur et à mesure des gorgées. Ça sent bon le cacao et le bois humide un matin de rosée, ça goute le rhum classique équilibré ni trop sucré ni trop alcoolisé mais ça laisse un gout... bwarf ! On ne retient que la fin de bouche pâteuse et desséchée. Un début prometteur, un milieu comme on l'attend mais une fin épouvantable : la version Tim Burton de la Planète des Singes.

A bit too dry for me with an oak taste and just a tad of sweetness.
The taste doesn't last long and the aroma doesn't convince me.

It's a nice rum but just not worth the price. While you can taste that it has been aged twice and it gives this rum quite a unique style It just doesn't quite come off. It will slide down smoothly though and you'll finish it quickly if you let yourself.

For the price I would have hopped that this rum was better

apparently this was aged in Sherry casks for duration of time. Accordingly, it has a slight orange liqueur flavor to it. Overall, a pretty solid rum. However, the finish is not nearly as smooth as some of the premium rums I have tried. Has a little alcohol bite to it and is a little too hot.

packaging is very attracting which makes it good for a present but taste is not well balanced. alchool is dominant. not recommended to those after sweet and fruity taste. overall decent but not one of those i'd buy it again, i'd get 2 bottles of pampero aniversario for the price of one of this.
