This is an Anejo that delivers on its label. But, it is different in a good/interesting way.
The nose and finish are the same - oak, tobacco, and coffee. There are hints of vanilla and camel but they get washed out on the pallet by a strong leathery note that compliments the stronger flavor of the barrel. There's not much of a bite on the finish, its a smoother Anjeo despite its relatively young age.
This is a "sugar/camel added rum" but doesn't deliver sweetness, floral or fruit notes. It's a one dimensional rum, but its the absence of sugar, floral, and fruit notes and instead a strong coffee note I found to be pleasantly different and unique
Even with sugar added I don't think this deserves a 7 because its a very good quality Anjeo - a rare commodity.
The packaging and bottling is a home run. The stout bottle is sharp looking and sophisticated and the leather bag is an awesome touch.
Its a good sipper but also went very well with cola. I can also see it being used to balance out a fruit mixer.
For $30 a bottle (New York price) I'd say its worth experiencing.
