Relicario Dominicano Superior

I bought all Relicario's in 50cc bottles and there is a reason I waited so long with this one as the other two expressions were not very convincing. All Relicario's have in common that they are a bit boring and way overpriced in my opinion and this, the cheapest one, is no exception.

On the nose I get alcohol, a wee bit of oak and vanilla and some fruity notes, mostly raisin and a slightly sour scent of berries/grapes rather than citrus. On the palate it is rather weak apart from the very present alcohol and pepper. A bit of caramel and vanilla, a bit nutty and again a light sour taste come through but you really have to look for it. It also feels a bit sticky on my lips and just like with the other Relicario's I suspect this rum got a little (chemical) help. It goes down easy enough but I am glad I only have 50cc. In a way this is for me the best (the least bad) of the three but for the €30-35 they are sold for I can find myself 5 dozen or so better rums.

Not worth your time nor your money but ymmv.

I got this one as a gift and it was very nice birthday! The rum is slightly sweeter, which I personally like.

Very nice glass bottle. I enjoyed this one.

Po vůní směsice tropických plodů, rozinek a sušeného banánu v karamelu. Po chuti vanilka, karamel a banán, to vše zaobalené do nekompromisní a ryzí surovosti. Ostřejší rum jak na začátku, uprostřed ale i po polknutí. Není pro padavky, i přesto mě zaujal a moc mi chutnal. Za mě za 8!
PS: krásná láhev!

Another decent Dominican rum, it is definitely not bad, but it falls into the category "Barcelo/Brugal generic Dominican taste". On the positive side - there is no sugar added. The aging is present already in the nose by oak tones, accompanied by vanilla and a hint of citrus fruits. The nose is a bit more attractive than the taste, the taste profile repeats oak and vanilla, spices - mainly pepper, the finish is again oak and leather. This rum is smooth enough for sipping, the nose is decent, but the taste profile is somewhat dull and I would expect something more interesting for the money.

Licorice tones, very well balanced and nice taste.

Det er en rom som jeg har smagt for længe siden. Den får 6.

Niet zo mijn smaak
Deze rum is zeer houterig , vanille toetsen

Pas exceptionnel mais appréciable.
Attaque en bouche assez douche on dénote bien le boisé et des touches de vanille.
Finale pas très longue, leS saveurs de boisé persiste bien tout de même.

Its good, thats it. The taste is a bit harsh, but for a evening with the guys it might be fitting.

Très bon rhum, au nez on est les fruits. Au goût c est un rhum très doux, fruité et boisé avec une finale assez longue ou le poivre ressort. Je le recommande.
