Relicario Dominicano Superior

Just another product with no surprises. Plain, and easy, but looks nice.

Nadherne zpracovani darkoveho baleni a lahve. Uvnitr baleni letacek s povidanim o vyrobe rumu. Chut velice prijemna, ostrejsi, s lehkym nadechem kokosu. Trochu mi pripomina Plantation XO. Nechapu tak nizke hodnoceni, proto davam 10, protoze takto nizke hodnoceni Si rozhodne nezaslouzi !

But thats about it. Nothing special going on for me in this one.

The bottles design could fool you, its looks better then i taste. This must be the younger barrels from Oliver & Oliver, this Rum is in my opinion in between sipper or for drinks. It is to much oak and without body. Sorry I expected more!! for the money 12 year Esclaco from Oliver & Oliver is a better choise.

Tasted at home. Clear pale mahogany color. Some caramel and wood in the nose. I sense some honey and light vanilla in the flavor along with oak. Quite boozy for its abv.

8/10

Nice bottle little taste of vanilla and almond....sharp finish, but nice Ron to drink.

This has lovely flavours and delicate tastes but what it lack entirely is the taste of rum .. it has nuts, chocolate and other flavours but lacks rum... I would not buy again after the sample, much prefer brugal from the same region ..
This tastes of suger and nothing more

I am positively surprised by this Domenican rum. Bought it in an impulsive mood, and because of the bottle. After opening the heavy, thick glassed bottle, there's a sweet smell of fruit, maybe prunes/raisins. I also find it a little smokey and spicy. To finish , the burn is really pleasant, just the way I like it.
Considering it's price range don't expect a truly well balanced and smooth rum but it scores a well deserved 7. Would definately buy again.
