Ron Esclavo Sherry Cask Finish 12-Year

First time tasting sherry cask rum. And it's fantastic. Leave bottle opened for few minutes so rum can breath and than enjoy it

Esclavo are a personal ”go to brand” for me, if talking about the older versions. This one is no dissapointment, the well known notes are there. Butterscotch, vanilla, chocolate….. However the 12y as a base is not as refined as for example the XO. And yes there are also a sherry finish to it. Still a very plesant rum even if not on the top shelf.

Stor sherryarom och smak, något oljig men god och lång eftersmak. Riktigt bra! Inte så spritig.

Tried this buddy for the first time. Wow, how pleased I was. Smooth and a good aftertaste rolled in my mouth. Lovely gold colored in the glass.

This is my first limited edition rums. Since it’s not coming in to many bottles in Sweden I decided to buy two and let me tell you, I don’t regret it for a second!

For what you pay ($65 in Sweden) you’ll get one of the best rums ever. I can almost compare it to Diplomatico Ambassador but half the price for this one. Really good I think. Would almost say that it tastes like a more luxurious variant of Diplomàtico with a clear cherry aftertaste and good burn. Nicely balanced notes between sweet caramel, sugar and cherries.

A sweet and light fruity smell, some Sherry, a weak alcoholic touch.
The taste is quite sweet, slightly oily and heavy in the mouth.
The finish is medium long.

barva hnědá
- vůně jemná, hodně příjemná, cítit je dozrávání po sherry
- chuť jemna, nasládlý, opět je krásně znát dozrávání v sudech po sherry
Celá řada Esclovo výborná záležitost 👏

46%. Gyldenbrun. 1 år på sherry fad. Duft af sherry fad, brun sukker, vanilje, tørret frugt. Smag af fad, brændt egetræ, let røget. Fed krop, olieret.

Many thanks to Joola69 for sharing this with me as part of a rare rum exchange (this is clearly rare, because as of this review Joola69 and I are the only ones to have reviewed this).

Has a nice sweet base, that also smells and tastes of molasses, sherry, oak, caramel, and butterscotch.

Rum tasting at home with a good buddy of mine continues with Ron Esclavo 12y Sherry Cask Finish. Nice bottle and label design, very close to the traditional Ron Esclavo 12y concept. Reddish golden color. Strong sherry influence mixed with plenty of sweet rum flavors to your nose and palate when neat sipped. Short and overly sweet burn at the end. Much more stronger sherry influence than Diplomatico Ambassador.
