After reading some of the comments on this rum i wasn't expecting too much , but i was pleasantly surprised.A very smooth rum with not too much alcohol burn. Quite sweet but not overpowering , i prefer this as a mixer but a good quality one. If i put this up against the similar Millonario 15 , it comes a good second. Would like to try the 23 to see if there's any improvement as this is a bit thin.
rum che ha un esplosivita'di aromi fruttati al naso ed palato al primo ingresso in bocca,
poi alcool e sparisce inesorabilmente come un sorso di acqua
Trop fort goût et odeur d'alcool, j'ai eu du mal à l'apprécier surtout après les critique élogieuse que m'en avait fait mes amis.
have had this rum given to me on a couple of occasions. Good presentation but not a memorable rum.
Really specific taste , more wooden. Stronger taste
syntes ikke der er meget overraskelse at finde i denne flaske.
stadig en fin rom bare ikke særlig spændende.
I liked this one enough to have some twice last night but it wont be my first go to. taste is nice with hints of vanilla and toffee. finish is nice and warming.
Is not a masterpiece, but good rum anyway. For my tastes, is not for mixed drinks.
not bad,no good,just average.
Its uneventful for 15 years.
15 year rum should be a smooth sipper at this age, but its not. Very harsh upfront burn which shouldn't be existent in this age of a rum. So I highly recommend drinking it with cola (I prefer diet coke). Even in coke its only So-So the last guy said "thin" and I think that is an amazing description. Some rums are bold and have distinctive flavors.Which makes sense because even sniffing the rum from the bottle you dont get any distinct smell besides some alcohol. This is similar to appleton estate v/x rum with a different cask taste. So the choice is yours go appleton estate v/x which is 17$ a fifth or this which is around 40$ a fifth with limited availability.
Cliff Notes
-Harsh upfront burn (not a great sipper)
-No real bold flavor
-Sweet Finish
-No smell from bottle (which translates into the no flavour)
-Similar to appleton estate v/x (I think appleton estate is better however)
Smooth and very well blended.
"The aftertaste is quite spicy and hot. Not in an alcohol burn way."

Didn't Last Long

The smell reminds me of Dzama vanilla. It is definitely a thinner rum with a bit of that flavour also present in dzama. Vanilla? Warm vanilla yes. Not too much finish but still a very enjoyable basic rum for a 15 year Solera. Especially given the cheaper price tag, ($34CAD). It didn't last too long!
