El Ron Prohibido Habanero 12-Year

a nice smooth first taste as you sip, no fierceness on the palate or throat, and a gentle caramel taste, slightly fruity.
the bottle was a factor i admit, so design kudos for that, but for £28 plus there are nicer aged rums out there

Nice one and has for me a slight hint of tequila flavour.

Un rhum qui m'a intrigué de par sa couleur assez sombre, qui me semblait de ce fait assez sucré en bouche mais après un achat et de ce fait u'e dégustation il n'est pas sucré en goût, il en ressort, de mon point de vue gustatif des notes de chocolat, d'épices et de vanilles... Surprenant en bouche mais aussi par son histoire, ce rhum mexicain mérite le détour mais n'est pas pour moi un incontournable à posséder...

The smell is decent, even nice I must say.
Then the taste in your moth follows kind of what you just smelled, but not quite. The same things you smelled are there, but not as good, some different stuff is also there, but also not that great. Still, until this point it is not a bad taste you get, but then suddenly it goes numb and there is nothing, just nothing.
What was that? You take another sip and the same patron repeats itself; barely a aftertaste in your mouth (wich always is a hugh factor for my drinking experience).

Because of that it falls down to a less than medium rum.

O, and the bottle; I dislike it very much...

I was offered this rum in a bar. It was hidden behind other rums and the name and description were interesting enough to give it a try. The King of Spain had good reasons to ban this! It's between somehow undrinkable and kind of exotic! Dangerous. It has quite a strong raising and portwine-ish taste. Give it a try, don't buy a bottle!

Notation Personnel : 6/10

Bit of a harsh nose, too boozy, sharp, but some sugar cane and almond notes as well. Taste is little unballanced as well, bit sharp. Not a bad one, bud i won't recommend it neither.

Bonne attaque avec de bonnes notes épicés mais peu de persistance en bouche...ce qui gâche un peu le plaisir.

What a fun run...the more it sits, the more flavor it has.. different flavor for sure..not to strong..It has a cool history..I will keep a bottle around for when i want something..interesting.

Habe ihn wegen der Flasche und der Story gekauft. Schmeckt nicht schlecht: süß, voll, würzig, eher schwer, etwas bittere Schokolade.
