Ron Esclavo 2015 Gran Reserva 3-Year

Sweet Nose of vanilla, light apricot and milk chocolate. Actually quite good. Taste of vanilla and bit of chocolate. Sadly a little light but not that bad, but a lack of depth makes it a bit boring. But the Price is right. A few years longer in the barrels would do it good.

Many thanks to Joola69 for sharing this with me as part of rare rum exchange (there were only 2 reviews before mine).

Has a nice sweet molasses, caramel, and vanilla flavor with a touch of spice. But it's rather weak also. Still, a slightly above average rum.

Go with the Esclavo XO Cask instead. That's one of my all time favorites.

Pitný avšak ničím výnimočný. Nebudete nadávať ale dojmy vám asi nedostanú nijaké

Ve vůni i v chutí příjemný, jemný, nasládlý, poměr cena/výkon 👍

Rum je sladší už podľa vône. Cítiť najmä karamel a jemne ovocie. V chuti rovnako karamel, vanilku a na záver horkú čokoládu. Toto ma veľmi baví. Naviac za cenu 15,99 za ktorú som ho kúpil je to naozaj super!!

Hoci som rumár začiatočník myslím si že je to fajn rum. Má prijemnú vôňu aj chuť je prijemne sladký ale žiadny sirupček. Na začiatok asi fajn voľba.

At first only a light sweet smell, some sherry and glue, light alcoholic burn but not in a bad way.
The first taste is light bitter and spicy, later on the sweetness appears. It stays during the finish.

Some dried fruits, vanilla and caramel like smells and flavours here. Also somewhat dusty. The 40% abv makes the overall experience a little thin. Still nice, somewhere between a 6 and 7 out of 10. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt for now.

Easy sipper, but far from being a really good rum. Mainly sweet with notes od sugar, caramel raisins and a hint of banana. Alcohol is present but bot disturbing. Slightly bitter but all im all cery short finish.
