Nice colour, smell was ok. It is dry, but no great afterburn. It is well-balanced rum. Good price for 18 year.

Нос лёгкий, изящный, слегка этаноловый для столь почтенного возраста, вполне в классической испанской стилистике без каких-либо необычных нот. Аромат раскрывается тонами ванили, карамели, нуги, кокоса, какао, печёных яблок и груш, белого персика, фундука, миндаля, апельсиновой цедры, имбиря и мускатного ореха. Вслепую никогда бы не предположил, что рому 18 лет - похож на слегка улучшенную версию Barcelo Imperial, но не такой сладкий по носу, более сухой.
Вкус, напротив, весьма сладкий, немного солоноватый и пряный. Полностью повторят нос с нотами ванили, карамели, какао, фруктов, орехов и специй. Здесь уже отчётливо чувствуется длительное влияние экс-бурбоновых бочек с их насыщенной древесно-кремовой текстурой.
Послевкусие довольно-таки продолжительное и приятное с нотами апельсина, имбиря, ванили, нуги и землистых оттенков свежего тростника.
Я ожидал чего-то экстраординарного и любопытного от заявленной производителем выдержки в 18 лет, однако это оказался в целом стандартный хороший выдержанный ром в испанском стиле без каких-либо изысков, но весьма приятный в качестве ненавязчивого дижестива или под сигару. Так что, не будем судить его строго и оценим весьма высоко

Great flavor, texture, and would recommend to people getting started in the aged rum world.

This has to be one of the best things to ever come out of Nicaragua. Flower of the Sugar Cane, indeed. It's rich, fruity, and aged long enough to be really smooth. Its great on it's own or in a mix. It's an awesome go-to rum. I find that the 12 and 18 are pretty interchangeable in mixed drinks and close when straight.

Put in a couple ice cubes and it is easy to drink, balanced, has enough sweetness. People who have not had sipping rums, this is a pretty good one.

I’d like to have a side by side of this with the 12, which I haven’t had in awhile I suspect they’d be similar but the 18 fuller bodied and a tad more complex. All in all an excellent sipping Rum.

The Aroma is not overpowering, like light carmel. Definitely getting the spice on this one, and I’m digging the natural sweetness. Fades away nice and slow on the finish. Wouldn’t be embarrassed to put this into a tastings event.

Very smooth, lighter rum with a fruity aftertaste.

It’s good. Clean, smooth, and straightforward. But I felt pretty much the same about their 12 year, and I’m not sure this is much better. The 12 seems like a better value.

This was a good rum, but I prefer the 12 Year. If they were the same price, I might switch between them, since the 12 Year has more of a Sweet Vanilla, flavor, whereas this is more Bold, but that isn’t the case. I’ll stick with the 12 Year.
