Gusto equilibrato tra dolce e secco, Sapore intenso di caramello e affumicatura, retrogusto vaniglia persistente. Accompagnato dalla cioccolata fondente è una libidine. Lo consiglio come start per entrare nel mondo dei rum. Difficile trovare un rum così buono a questo prezzo. Consigliato.

A little burn, a little cinnamon, not too sweet, nicely dry. Flavors of wood, leather, and nuts. Good balance. 6
edit 1/18- IDK if the rum has changed or me, but I know find it overly oaky with an excessive cinnamon quality and a bit antiseptic. Now undrinkable to me. 3

Not bad with a lot of toffee and milk chocolate. Not too sweet but there are definitely better in this price range.

Un beau rum, bien fait, simple, et proche d'un diplomatico, mais plus classic.

Un nez merveilleux.
Entrée en bouche délicate, parfumée et très douce.
Bon gout de boisé vanillé, fruits et une longueur en bouche magnifique.
Un très bon moment

A strong favorite for this $20 price point, it has a really nice complex flavor that ends on the dry side. Not tried it with an ice cube as mentioned by other reviewers, that might help bring out some of the better flavors. Not a mixer for sure, but not as great as the Ron Abuelo 12 for $10 more.

nice, smooth, very similar taste like Malteco 10 (which is cheaper), 7,5 rounded down :)

I spent $23 US on this, and I expected something more along the lines of a mixer for that price. Instead, what I got was a delicious, complex, smooth rum perfect for drinking straight, with a splash of water, or on the rocks (my preferred if I can't put it in a freezer... I love my spirits very cold, for some reason).
Another surprise is how sweet it is, considering the results of the sugar test conducted by nomad and edited into their review back on page 1 (0-5g).
This rum is made from virgin sugar honey and aged via the Solera system in bourbon, port, and sherry casks. It definitely shows from the amazing palate. There's some dried fruits, almond, and orange (I love that orange citrus note on the tongue). The finish is almost like a chocolate cinnamon, only more on the dark/bitter-sweet side than the milk/creamy side.
The nose is also wonderful, giving off some charred wood aromas like oak, as well as creamy caramel and honey.
I absolutely recommend this one, especially as a baseline for introducing someone to Reservas. Obviously better can be found, but this is definitely the definition of a good Reserva.
Enjoy!
