As of may 2017 this is my new fav!!!! and my current sipper on ice. I'm getting closer to finding the pet sipper. I'm a total amateur at this but I'm getting lots of brown sugar and real caramel on the noise and on the pallet. It smells like lots of other aged rum, sweet but goes down super smooth. Love it. Can't wait to try the 15yr then the 25yr

I love Trinidad far rums that are aged. This rum has all the great notes I enjoy I. The Angostura 1824 without the heavy price tag. Drinking it neat is delicious and it also mixes really well in any drink. Very smooth, you can smell and tastes notes of molasses, caramel, and I don't know why but I also get nutmeg. Worthy of being stocked in your cabinet all year long.

This is something I try to have always stocked in my home bar. It has the intense Demerara flavor with vanilla and spice. I don't mind sipping it, but I also use it as a mixer.

En väldigt god rom, lätt att dricka och fin balans i smaken, känns inte riktigt mogen men väldigt god

En ce moment, j'ai son grand frère, le 15 ans, que j'aime beaucoup. Mais il faudrait que j'aie de nouveau les 2 ensemble, pour faire une comparaison valable.

Sweet, smooth and oaky. More like sirup. Complex Taste under the sugar hood. Vanilla Notes and Toffee smell. Old Fashion Ron. Reminds me on 7 year Havanna but Way better. Sipping recommended.

I was expecting better after reading some reviews suggesting it was better than the 15-yr. not even close. Too sweet and lack complexity compared to the 15 yrs. It’s good value for the price but I rather put the extra $ to get the 15 yrs.

While a bit sweet for some, I have rarely experienced a better sipping rum. Rich and spicy, with enough caramel hints to almost feel decadent, this is a drink that is meant to make you feel like royalty.

Strangely cheap for its unique and great taste! Always one of my favourites.

Excellent rapport qualité-prix. J'y reviens toujours. À déguster seul. Je le préfère au 15 ans, il est plus doux. Un peu sucré, demeure très équilibré.

Excellent value for money. I always come back to it. I prefer it to the 15-Year El Dorado, it is softer. A little sweet, but remains very balanced.
