Une rondeur agréable mais il manque d'arome. Trop plat.

Vanilla, toffee and slight spicy aromas from the glass. It doesn't smell as heavy as I would've thought. It is very smooth with no harshness. Prolonged sitting in the glass reveals a warm peach, oak and leathery aroma. The taste is warming sweet oak and toffee with a dark sherry like edge. The finish is pure dairy fudge, oak and a fruity sweetness. Better than its stablemate Zacapa

6,5:On the nose, it's dry and rather fine. Banana, vanilla, orange peel and dried fruit are the main aromas of this rum. There's also a light woodiness, fennel and a certain freshness.
6,5:On the palate, the attack is soft, but it becomes increasingly dry. Tobacco notes are present, while sweet spices are more discreet.
6,2:The finish is fairly long, with a strong woody aroma that even dries out the mouth with its tannic character. A hint of vanilla joins the wood.

Sucré sur le bout de la langue. Mais pas trop en bouche.
Highly recommended! Really tasty, strong vanilla and caramel flavor.

Found this 15 year old Guatemalan rum at the Duty-Free store in Guatemala City airport. After sipping Ron zacapa in Antigua for about a week, this was a nice sipper as well. Very good stuff !

A solid rum that fits most tastes, but nothing revolutionary.

I picked up two bottles of this in duty free on the way back from Gran Canaria. It was at a really discounted rate and unfortunately I didn’t have access to rum rating otherwise I wouldn’t have gone there. It’s not great. I tried three times now and each time I’ve had a headache after drinking. Taste isn’t to my liking or the after effects. I have just poored the surplus left in the bottle in the sink. I highly do not recommend.

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!
