The nose is leather and vanilla, the taste is sweet, with a fake vanilla flavor which reminds me of Captain Morgan, then comes a taste which reminds me of eggnog, something like eggyolk and cheap Czech inland rum (read: alcohol with spices, not a real rum), according to hydrometer test I found on the internet, only some 5g of sugar was added, but the taste is mainly artificial flavors in my opinion, the aftertaste is prickling alcohol sensation, but not unpleasant. No wood is present in smell, taste nor aftertaste, which means 15 is only a number here, definitely not the age. It would be actually a nice spiced rum for half of the price, but for the money it is sold I got better options, e.g. Appleton 12, El Dorado 12.

A tasty but not outstanding sipper. Plenty of oak.

This is almost agricole is how harsh it is, but has auch sweeter finish. Lots of molasses, but up front reminds me in subtle ways of Saint James, slightly dishwatery but then the finish hurts hard with the brown sugar/molasses. It keeps getting sweeter, almost like Barbados or even bumbu but harsher. For 15 years, there's a shocking amount of burn. But on ice would be nice. Slightly grassy notes, some fruitiness and nuttiness. Really interesting

Aby sa nezabudlo! Rum ktory sa vyraba rovnakym postupom 140 rokov, a vyrazne ovplyvnil rumovy svet.
Tento rum v skutocnosti nema ziadnu vyraznu chutovu paletu, ale je to rum ktory ma skvelu hladku chut a dubovy podton.
Uz len pre jeho historiu som ho nikdy nepouzil na miesanie.

Navyse u nas sa da niekedy zohnat za 20 eur, a za tie peniaze mate v bare kus rumovej historie

It gives me mystical high boost flavor at first but became balanced and then a worse big alcohol presence at my throat that remains.....

Light caramel colour. Rich nutmeg, fruity and woody aroma. Taste start smooth and sweet (fruity), caramel in the middle and dry okay taste at the end. Well worth sipping and enjoying. The end is a little bit harsh, not enough to burn, abut that's what stops it making the "legendary" status.
