Good darker rum with sweet smell. It does not have strong alcohol taste but strong sugarry and a bit smoky smell.

Top shelf quality - very drinkable neat - particularly smooth with a great balance and medium length. Nice colour too. Would recommend.

Smooth rum that has an excellent flavour and just a touch of smoke and very little burn. I always have multiple bottles on hand!

I read very good reviews about this rum and I bought the 2 glass pack, for posterity. It did not disappoint. Very nice , smooth with oaky, vanilla, raisins notes. What it reminded me of, although a lot sweeter is the Courvoisier VSOP-XO. A lot similar to Dictador 20. I think I will return to it.

A very nice way in to rum. It may be sweetened, but it is not over done.

One friend praised the rum for drinking two bottles with his wife. But what is it? I couldn't finish it. I don't like it at all, I believe there are other batches and not every bottle can taste the same, but I close this chapter. The magic thing is that I gave the 15th version a chance and it has become my absolute icon for rum and I'm still coming back to it.

Známý mi tento rum chválil, že už mají za sebou s manželkou dvě láhve. Ale co to? Já ho nemohl dopít... Vůbec mě to nedostalo, věřím, že jsou i jiné šarže a ne každá láhev může chutnat stejně, ale já tuto kapitolu uzavírám. Kouzelné na tom je, že jsem dal šanci 15y verzi a ta se naopak stala mou naprostou ikonou pro rum a stále se k ní vracím.
