Atlantico Gran Reserva

Aroma sweet and vanilla with little alcohol burn mixed in. Taste sweet and vanilla with little alcohol burn mixed in. Aftertaste sweet and vanilla with a little alcohol burn mixed in. Guess what??? If you like sweet and vanilla with some alcohol mixed in you might like this rum because that is all you are going to get. It is not awful by any means but all it is, is sweet vanilla with alcohol mixed in, despite what he bottle says about notes of toffee, caramel and oak.

Pěkně zabalený rum, který ovšem přes příjemnou, velmi vanilkovou vůni nenabízí příliš komplexní chuť. Je velmi jemný, ale má v ocasu poměrně silnou chemickou pachuť. Ani svou cenu si dle mého názoru příliš neobhájí.

40%ABV solera from the Dominican Republic. It is a combination of molasses rum and rum from sugar juice (agricole). The age of the rums in the blend is 15 - 25 years. The individual rums are aged in bourbon barrels.

Bottle: Wine type bottle of cylindrical shape
Colour: Amber

Aroma: Pleasantly floral and fruity. Not at all nose-biting. The aroma is dominated by toffee and coffee. I also smelled raisins, sweet drops candies, apricots and flowers. In addition, lightly tanned wood.
Mouth: Sweet but more watery. Slightly burning on the palate and on the tongue. The palate has caramel, coffee, vanilla, raisins and oak. Unfortunately, it's a bit flatter.
Finish: Short

Summary: A pretty good rum where the aroma is more interesting than the taste. The rum is drinking well but leaves no interesting aftertaste.
Rating: 7.5/10

En helt okej rom. God smak som är söt och vanilj. En bra vardagsrum.

If you really like vanilla flavors in your rum, then you'll love this rum. Otherwise steer clear of it. Not for me.

Ever go out with a really great looking girl that just "lies there"? This rum looks good and smells good but thats it. I kept thinking "come on, do something" Nope. It just sits in your mouth. No complexity, no exitement. No satisfaction.

A fresh young rum nose and a strong and aftertaste of wood. In between it tastes young and fresh with a dash of first sweetness - but it's more bitter than sweet. So far, I've not found much in the Atlantico range to inspire me.

Did not think it'd be as smooth as I thought. Very good from beginning to end.

Krásna vôňa - dub, vanilka, trstinový cukor. V chuti sa k tomu pridávajú citrusy, med a jemne káva. Záver je veľmi jemné štiplavejší po agricole zložke. Že mňa krásne vybalancovaný rum!

Strong caramel and vanilla flavors with a fruity banana aftertaste. A lot of caramel scent on the nose (for me smells delicious). Body is not thick, but not too thin either. Goes down relatively smooth and is a very pleasant sipper.
