Juan Santos 9-Year

Easy Rum. Not strong at all. Sweet and good taste.

Dejlig rom - og meget sødligt når det tages i betragtning at der ikke er tilsat sukker

Nice rum that goes well with your favorite mix. Reminds more of a whiskey than rum but still smooth and enjoyable.

This has some potential, but the balance is a bit off for it to really be anything.
Its too sharp on the edges.
Notes of vanilla, caramel, nuts, and some malt-ish aftertaste?

Un rhum colombian qui goûte le caramel, bourbon et le chêne et ressemble a ceux jamaicain. Je ne suis pas décu.

In spite of the so-so reviews on "Rumratings", I thought I would give Juan Santos 9 yr Reserva Especial Rum a try and I was pleasantly surprised with this Columbian rum simply because I prefer dry rums with no or a minimal amount of added sugar.

My first observation was the darker almost reddish colour of this rum which I find appealing. On the nose I detected very little aroma other than a faint smell of caramel. In the mouth this rum felt crisp and seemed to come alive with hints of spices and caramel. Those who enjoy whiskey or dry rums are more apt to enjoy this rum, if you prefer sweet rums, this rum is not for you.

Sec, mais doux, avec une longue finale. Épices et relent de tabac. Différent d'autres colombiens, qui sont parfois plus sucrés (par. ex. le Dictador 10 ans, dans un autre style).

Dry, but sweet, with a long finish. Spices and tobacco relish. Different from other Colombians, who are sometimes sweeter (for example the 10 year Dictador, in another style).

I wouldn't drink this neat. And it does not have enough distinction, that I would buy it to be used in cocktails.

Rien d'exceptionnel.
Légères saveurs de chêne mais le goût d'alcool l'emporte sur tout le reste.

Smooth starter with a sting at the finish. A bit of caramel. Not a sipper but very good with Sprite.
