Montero Gran Reserva

Was offered a glass of this local produced rum (Motril, Spain) when visiting some neighbors from home having a flat down here.
It reminds me a little of Flor de Cana. With that said it’s not very sweet and quite bland, but much better than expected.
Picture: The bottle and my poured glass out at their roofterass down in Nerja, Spain.

Don’t buy it.
It has a weird ”yellow beer color” and the taste is a mixture of rum, whiskey and solvent.
It can perhaps be used as drink rum but I have used it in bbq marinade.

Dette er ikke en rom, som kan anbefales til at drikkes rent. Den dufter meget sprittet og smagen er meget flad.

And the taste doesn´t make it better.. The closest thing i have tasted to this is Club Havanna white rum. So if you have a bottle of this and want to finish it. I would say that you shall bring on the ice and the ginger beer.

I received a bottle of this from my brother who visited spain and with its 50 year anniversary, I had moderate hopes. However, I poured myself a serving in a snifter glass and found the only way to drink it was to hold my breath when I took a sip. The alcohol burned my nose and made it difficult to smell much of anything. On the palette, it was mildly sweet, with a tobacco taste and a smoky finish. I wouldn't call the flavor BAD, however it could use a little work. The over powering alcohol took much of what was good however and made it hardly enjoyable.
