ethanol overload

I'll start with the good. It has a pleasent citrus and frute smell and it feels very smooth in the mouth. . but then the bad news comes. No complexity at all for a 15y solera. It tastes more like a 3y old and there is nothing left from the good smell. After 2seconds the ethanol kicks in and kills any chance of a good taste. My wife even said her tongue hurted from the ethanol. I won't buy this one again. Only ok thing: the price. 21€ for 15y solero isn't that bad. I would suggest to put some water drops in it or let it breath for some time before drinking it. Maybe then the taste will survive a bit longer and thicken

A good honest rom - no fuss - sweet taste - needs a ice cube.

Buon rum ma la prima volta che lo ho provato sono rimasto deluso: all'olfatto prevalgono sentori di frutta secca, in bocca mandorle e tabacco con finale non proprio lungo.

I expected alot,and was a bit disappointed.This rum won many prices,the bottle and paperbox looks fantastic,but the rum itself reminds me on light cuban rums,not really Dominican style. It's still a great rum which i would recommend to anyone,easy to sip,a little oak at the end but it lacks of a taste-explosion like a Diplomatico.

Tasty for sure!

I don't understand the lower rating for this Rum. I found it to be very tasty w/o having to become overly sweet to achieve it.

Brown sugar, spice and everything nice. I even get hints of banana and some cashew.

Price point in the US is excellent.

Abbastanza inutile...

Poco complesso al naso, poco complesso in bocca. Poco intenso al naso, poco intenso in bocca.
Il poco che lascia non è male, ma tutto sommato è un rum abbastanza inutile.

Not realy to my taste

A bit to small and a bit to smokey taste for me.
You may think different.

A standard mid range rum, smooth enough to not need ice, good round flavour but no real defining characteristics to make it stand out from the crowd.

Professional Reviews

Smooth and very well blended.

"The aftertaste is quite spicy and hot. Not in an alcohol burn way."
