Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo 20-Year

Dejlig rom. Man smager mørk chokolade og mokka. Den har en god sødme.

Not a bad looking bottle to have on the bar. Really inviting nose with solid notes of muscovado sugar, camamelised and roasted nuts, cigar leaves, round oak and hints of liqourice and wooden lacquer. This one got things going on, but it feels well put together with all the notes meshing nicely.
The taste is bold and potent but retains a nice and semi dry elegance at the same time.
Notes of dark chocolat, mokka and well integrated oak flairs up in the mouth with a long finish, ending on spices and caramel.
There is a shade of sweetness to the taste but hydrometer tests show no sign of additives. This is definitely among the best cubans i'v had so far. The quality and characteristics would almost put this rum in the same ballpark as Appelton 21 and fleur de cana 25. Great.

Tolles sattes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase sehr elegant und weich, ein bunter Früchte Mix auf einer Schiffsplanke mit delikaten Karamellnuancen.
Im Gaumen zuerst ganz angenehm, kandierte Früchte, gebranntes Karamell, zarte Holztöne. Aber dann werden die Aromen mit einer scharfen Alkohol-Lanze aufgespiesst. Eine durchaus interessante fahrt in der Achterbahn.
Im Abgang lang und nett, süss mit viel Karamell.

Great rich amber in the glass.
The nose is very pleasantly soft, a colorful fruit mix on a shipspace with delicate caramel nuances.
On the palate, quite pleasant, candied fruits, burnt caramel, delicate oak. But then the flavors are sprinkled with a sharp alcohol lance. A quite interesting ride in the roller coaster.
In the finish long and nice, sweet with lots of caramel

Taste of Cuban land and tobacco, Cuban salt and soil, core taste of the Cuban spirits you will find in its every rum. Here it's most pronounced, most smooth, delicious and unique at the same time.

Just one problem with it: how to keep the bottle alive and keep treating guests )

Viva Cuba!

Geruch nach Walnuss, Zuckerrohr, sehr fein.
Im Geschmack findet man die Geruchsnoten wieder, plus getrocknete Früchte,
das ganze mit einer natürlichen Süße und ein wenig Alkohol im Abgang, sehr gefällig.

Fazit: bis jetzt der beste Santiago de Cuba den ich verkostet habe. 8+
Er ist ausgewogener als seine Brüder mit 11 und 12 Jahren, schmeckt besser, kann sich aber nicht so klar absetzen, besonders vom 11 Jahre alten, wohl weil dieser auch ein besonders guter Rum ist.

Wenn der Preis stimmt ist aber der „Santiago de Cuba Extra Anejo 20-Year“ in allen Punkten die bessere Wahl. Ich werde ihn sicher wieder nachkaufen.

I like it is not too sweet for a Ron, nice nose but rest is very flat, almost watery, too bad it had a nice start

A hint of licorice on the nose, some fresh fruit, nut and wood flavor, finish is sweet wood. It is all very subtle, as is the case with the high-end Santiago de Cuba series. There is a chance you won't instantly like it unlike the sweet Solera rums, but it is worth it.

It's a classic cuban style, not so sweet and great taste. A interesting aftertaste, perfect with an cigar.

Wow, I like this one a lot. Awesome nose and taste, a long lingering finish. Not just sweet, I also sense a bit of soy, which gives a lovely contrast. A keeper!

This one got me surpriced.. I didn´t think to much of it when i saw the bottle.. But allready when i got the full body of the sniff i was tempted to taste.. And the taste. Full and rich. Free from etanol. Long lasting and dark. This one will enter my permanent collection.
