I got this rum due to the extreme ratings here on RR; and while it is amazing I was slightly dissappointed as it didn't really tick all of the boxes. Mostly the aroma was a bit understated to me, but the flavour was an amazing sweet deep caramel treacle with hints of mature fruits and even just a tad of fermentation notes.

Beautiful hue of golden Carmel right out of the bottle. Very inviting.... Super smooth, somewhat sweet Spanish style masterpiece, with hints of bourbon, Carmel, and a kiss of burnt sugar, like the topping of a creme brûlée. Very easy to drink and a guaranteed hit with the after dinner crowd. No burn at all....
I’m glad I purchased a bottle, which I’m almost finished with.... ultimately probably won’t purchase another though.... Just not quite enough depth in flavor for me.

A beautiful sipping rum. Mahagony in colour,nose -florals and vanilla with butterscotch. Flavor is rich,dried cherrish and vannila again,with a dash of nutmeg.

I have bottle 2088 out of 6720. Here are my impressions:

Nose: Matured Oak, Fine Tobacco, Maple Syrup, Baked Apples
Palate: Matured Oak, Smokiness, Maple Syrup, Fine Tobacco, Tangerine
Aftertaste: Smoky Caramel, Oak

This is excellent - a fantastic rum -but the 21 year is actually more to my liking at about 1/4 the price of this rum. Perhaps this rum will grow further on me but right now it is just too expensive to be a full 10 in relation to the product, even if it is mostly excellent.

On the nose you get a wonderful deep and pungent combination of deep oak, tobacco, maple syrup, and something like baked apples. The oak comes through very strong but in a very matured way. Once you take a sip you get a lovely combination of that oak with a smokiness to it along with a hint of maple syrup and lighter notes of fine cigar tobacco and tangerine. It really is quite a pleasant combination. The aftertaste is drier with a slight burn with the smokiness and a caramelized oaky flavor lingering in the mouth. The aftertaste is not as impressive or long lasting as I would have expected, but it is still quite excellent. I think overall I am very slightly disappointed with the final product experience in relation to the price. It is a fantastic rum for sure, but I am not sure it is worth what I paid for it. If price is truly no object to you, then this is wonderful rum and a real treat...and maybe my experience with it will get better as I come back to it. That said right now Zafra 21 Year is a slightly more complex and enjoyable rum at 1/4 the price of its 30 year old brother. As I sip more on this one I will reflect further and this review may change but here is my initial scoring.

Nose: 10
Palate: 10
Aftertaste: 8
Smoothness: 10
Versatility: 9
Price: 6

Overall: 8.8

This excellent dark amber rum presents scents of vanilla, caramel, fruit and wood, which when you taste it, you can also feel on the tongue the bourbon present in the barrel where it was aged.

The color is a beautiful caramel mahogany. You get a hint of the barrel to the nose with a vanilla, syrup and woodsy smell that take you through the woods and a wonderful fire. The taste as it hits your tongue is a vanilla, caramel and subtle fruit with minimal burn from the bourbon barrel. Probably a bit pricey but excellent rum easily in top 5 percent. Great neat or on rocks. Would be excellent with cigar.
