It is a blend of rums from Mauritius with a maturation period of up to 12 years (first barrels of bourbon and then of sherry wine). Special ratio: 60% molasses rum and 40% is agricole from juice, so I was mainly curious about the agricole ingredient.

The bottle has a classic chubby shape - I like that. The color of the rum is rather lighter (light amber) with a slight reddish tinge.
The scent is not very intense, but it is very pleasant. The scent smells of vanilla, sherry, overripe tropical fruits, cherries, cloves and also a little stale wood and agricole grass.
For the first time, I felt intense unsweetened Czech rum pralines in the taste. The taste is weaker in spirits, generally thinner and also slightly sweet. On the palate you can smell the most sherry, vanilla, cloves, stale wood and again overripe to fermented fruit (grapes and cherries). The ending is slightly bitter, but it's not unpleasant.

The smell of this rum is more pleasant than the taste, but the longer I drank it, the more I enjoyed it. It's probably not for the whole bottle, but it's definitely worth tasting.

Overall rating: 7.5 out of 10

An excellent tasting rum. Hints of vanilla and spices. Excellent with your favorite mix

Let’s say that somehow this is a dry-maybe more-sherry- bitterish, but definitely NOT sweet- stuff, with taste more like agricolle grass with a strong burn.
Maybe with some added stuffs.
I was dissapointed a lot. IF the cost was half then would worth trying it, but NOT if you are a traditional rum sipper.
Probably I will give the bottle to my friend Dimitris who loves laphroiag whiskey

Feels more like sherry dipped into a rum barrells than rum dipped in an ex-sherry casks. Not bad not nothing to revisit for me. I like 1-2 small glasses only, as too sweet and too sherry-ish. Overall adequate quality to money spent. It is kind of rum you can open (or close) with any degustation and many people might actually like it. Probably one of the worst ideas to have hangover from, though.

Just like the normal Emperor with a touch of Sherry on the nose and on the tongue. In my opinion, it's not as good as the Abuelo, and nowhere near as good as the Dos Maderas 5 5.

If you want very interesting tasting for lower price. Maybe a sherry smell, sweetish rum cake taste and no after taste.

Le meilleur des trois rhums Emperor a mon goût! D'avoir vieilli dans des tonneaux de sherry lui donne une belle finale.

Quite disapointing - somehow unremarkable - would not buy again. Smell and packaging is nice though.

Sladší rum, trochu mi připomínal Saint James. Konec trošku alkoholovější, chuť odezněla celkem rychle, ale velmi zajímavé barvy ovoce. Koupil bych podruhé, ideálně v akci.

A bottled version of crime against humanity. Fancier Griotte rather than a rum. Absolutely terrible for its price.

Not a regular rum, but not so sweet as elixir. Good choice to teach women to like rums.
