Bon rapport qualité prix. Un rhum de cette âge pour le prix, wow! Un goût de vanille et très épicé. Très boisé. Couleur très foncé j aime bien.

Dejlig blød og rund smag. Dejlig eftersmag. Rigtig god til prisen

Very full body and sweet as hell, sort of reminds me of a decent scotch thanks to the barrel, aging procedure, and the general technique behind this beauty. This is something that stands independent in its glass neat and tidy, especially if you're kicking back and enjoying a fine Dominican cigar.

The initial smell resembles petrol and leaves me with mixed feelings.
Afterwards I detect coconuts and sugar and oak.
Taste is very sweet and you get the coconut again.
When compared to Diplomatico RE, this rum is perhaps on the same level of sweetness, but because the alcohol is way more present in here, the spirit seems more firey, but still smooth enough.

One of the most interesting flavour profiles on the rum market.

Ce rhum est un des meilleurs au monde souvent dans les 10 meilleurs.superbe equilibre.tres doux sucre sur la vanille et toffee.a gouter absolument pour tout amateur.je prefere de peu le 15 ans plus suptil et un peu sur des notes de wisky mais moins sucre.le 12 ans correspond au plus grand nombre et surtout si vous aimez les rhum sucrés.note 8.5.

Excellent sip rum with a good amount of sugar but not in excess. We did a tasting of the 12,15, 21 years and this 12 years was just as good as the older older ones , if not better. One of my favourite.

Nice smell of coke when poured in the glass. With the sweetness the alcohol is not the first taste. Various notes one the sweetness has disappeared from the tongue.

Rhum du Guyana qui s'est forgé une belle réputation.
Design : jolie présentation, avec un bouchon en liège, ce rhum a une belle couleur ambrée.
Nez : fruité et caramel.
Goût : attaque très douce puis montée en puissance des arômes, boisé, pointe d'amertume puis longue finale très moelleuse.
Même si on retrouve la rondeur des rhums de tradition anglaise, ce rhum est trop sucré pour être honnête.
Niveau goût, on se rapproche du "diplomatico reserva exclusiva" avec un arôme caramel moins prononcé.
