Ron Esclavo 2015 Gran Reserva 3-Year

Canny enough. Hard to place the taste. Very slight burn

This one is a nice sipper for sure. Not so expensive, not that complex and just a simple sweet but acceptable sipper without any afterburn.

A sweet rum, not very complex. Good for sipping, bit to sweet for me...

Helt acceptabel rom fra Ron Esclavo 👍 - god eftersmag

Note: I'm a sipper. My opinion is based on sipping characteristics.

Have to join the majority here. Although I liked it very much and was initially going to give it an 8, it's a definitive 7. Hands down, an excellent sipper, no afterburn, but not much of a development or complexity either and that's where it falls behind. Can compare it to the 15-year Matusalem, just half as expensive. Would suit perfectly most untrained palates and it's a great gateway rum to get your significant other into rum drinking. Hence my comparison to Matusalem, as these were the two rums my wife raised a brow and said I like this, hit me with some more.

This is quite a surprise, the first low-priced rum that's fantastic! The XO version is one of my best rums, and this 3y, although it costs half, tastes almost the same.

Tohle je docela překvápko, první rum za tak nízkou cenu, který je pitelný. Verze XO je jeden z mých nejlepších rumů, a tento 3y, přestože stojí polovinu, je mu velmi blízko.

Because I bought it at the end of 2021 in a shopping center. And none year appears on the bottle (at least in Poland). Nevertheless it's good for sipping.

Det er ikke den store smagsoplevelse, lidt til den søde side.

Alkohol: 40 %
Původ: Dominikánská republika
Aroma: Nasládlé koření, větrovost, lékořice, hřebíček, lesní med, lehce i broušená kůže. (84 b)
Chuť: Práškové suché kakao, hřebíček, větrovost, dotek dubového dřeva, co do plnosti pak nižší střední třída, celkem pikantní. (84 b)
Body: 84/100
Shrnutí: V pohodě, vzhledem k ceně ujde, neurazil, ale na opakovaný nákup to není.

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.
