Funny to define this one, I've been sipping for a while and no real distinct flavours jump out at me. Definitely a sweet floral nose, then initial hazelnut taste with a little short spicy kick. Interesting how it finishes very dry, I'm guessing whisky lovers would like this, but not my personal favorite

De lo mejor que probado De Santiago de Cuba, ron balanceado, dulce y sin tanto sabor a madera como el 11 años

Tipico rum cubano ma con molta delicatezza in più. Molto ben fatto i sapori si amalgamano perfettamente. Va giù che è una bellezza. Ne troppo dolce ne dry, una via di mezzo perfetta. Si abbina perfettamente con un buon sigaro.

This was the go to, from the bartender in Cuba when I asked for the best premium he had available. We then got into a discussion about the offerings from Nicaragua, Venezuela and Barbados. Though he is Cuban, he was quite educated on other world rum offerings, but stood by the Santiago de Cuba.
I found it to be more alcohol than flavour, with a barely notable barrel, brandy and Tia Maria flavours.
Of course, once I found the Havana Club Seleccion de Maestros, it was end of story.

J'ai acheté quelques unes de ces bouteilles en juillet 2004 ainsi que des Habana Club 18 ans.
Bien qu'il s'agisse d'un assemblage de vieux rhum allant jusqu'à 20 ans d'âge. Cet excellent rhum n'est pas un Habana Club mais pour la différence de prix, il était possible de lui pardonner.
Coûtait 60USD par rapport au Habana Club 18 ans à 85 ou 90USD.

Despite it being only 40% the alcohol is very present. It's quite easy to drink though but not quite worth the price.

Je suis un peu assomé des ratings ici ...
Une belle et bonne bouteille à avoir en tout temps dans son armoire.
Compense amplement son manque certain de complexité par des saveur bien définie de vanille, de noisette et de café
Tranchant en bouche, descente soutenue et soyeuse... Défintivement à apprécier ( sans glace ... Jamais de glace ... Jamais jamais de glace ... Jamais ;) après un bon steak sur le grill !

Picked up a bottle of Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo 12 yr Rum ($50 CUC) during a recent trip to Cuba. While there, I tried several low end Rums (but no premium offering) at the all-inclusive resort but this is the first premium Cuban Rum I taste. Wow, after initial notes of cherries and molasses, I tasted some licorice along with caramels flavours with just the right amount of oakiness. This Rum is very smooth and has a profile that is completely different to any other Rum I have tasted so far. A most pleasant addition to my liquor cabinet.
