Easy to drink, medium alcohol burn on the palate but easy to drink. Flavor profile is noy overly complex. Sweet, with notes of coco

45% alcohol. No age statement.
Colour: Amber
Nose: very light, subtle spices similar to the Christmas edition, but a faintest hint of some funky bananas
Palate: very little aroma,  nothing like the Founders Reserve. Extremely sweet with some subtle fruit aromas and faint herbal notes. 
Sweetness: 5/5, overpowering 
Burn: gentle belying the 45%
Throat: Forgettable

Summary: very sweet, little else

40% alcohol. 
Colour: Gold
Nose: very light, subtle spices and Christmas spekulatius
Palate: very little aroma,  nothing like the Founders Reserve. Very sweet with some herbal notes. 
Sweetness: 4/5, there has definitely been some dosage
Burn: gentle
Throat: Forgettable

Summary: There is almost nothing but sweetness - disappointing

Miniature bottle from an advent calendar. 
I believe its the 4th edition on account of the 45.1% alcohol. 

Colour: Amber
Nose: plump raisins and overripe bananas, like a Jamaica-heavy navy rum, followed by burnt toffee notes
Palate: The ripe fruit notes lead, then there is a big sugar hot followed by bittersweet toffee and woody notes,  possibly from some Sherry cask influence. 
Sweetness: 4/5, there has definitely been some dosage
Burn: restrained considering the alcohol
Throat: smooth finish,  the wood notes linger
Summary: a bit cloying,  the sweetness overcomes the decent aromas

Rum North Natural 60% comes from The Engenhos do Norte distillery (meaning “mills of the north") in Madeira.
The distillery was established in 1927 and was purchased by the Faria family in 2013. They have a steam mill from those early days still in operation which is unique in Europe.
For fermentation they use concrete tanks covered with resin-based paint to ensure optimal hygiene.
The used cane juice in their rums comes from a blend of several sugar canes harvested on the island and the fermentation process takes normally 48 hours, but can be extended up to four days for rums distilled in a Charente still.
This rum, Rum North Natural 60%, is distilled in their Copper Column Still and the used cane comes from cane fields located near the sea.
The nose is fresh, vegetal and nutty with hints of anise.
In mouth and at the palate it’s quite powerful but also very smooth for its 60%. It’s creamy, nutty and spicy with a certain sweetness and hints of olives.
The finish is rather long, soft and nutty.
Overall an interesting unaged Agricole with a little weak nose but that’s very powerful in mouth and at palate with a rather long finish.

I am not a fan of sweet rums in general. And I do quite dislike liqueurish rums like Centenario or Pyrat.

Malteco 15 is quite sweet and obviously smoothed out with sugar (and possibly other additives). But it retains some complexity and is interesting and entertaining to drink. Smooth enough to be likable for nearly everyone; and enough going on to keep me interested.
On the nose, it is mostly sweet vanilla, fruit candy, a hint of funk (very good thing, that!) and some wood. Alcohol is noticeable, but the sweetness helps to smooth this out.
Taste is even better, adding some tobacco, nutmeg, other spices and even a faint note of rubber (which is good). There is also some overripe banana and a hint of chocolate. Very drinkable, very sweet and smooth, but surprisingly deep and complex.

Very good neat, not a rum I would recommend for mixing, as it brings too much of a show on its own.

Would like to try this without added sugar.

Rhum vieux traditionnel de la Réunion, 3 ans d'âge, titre : 40°.
Bouteille : packaging un peu tape à l'oeil, belle couleur or pâle.
Nez : doux et fruité
Attaque: douce, puis boisé et amertume.
Finale : assez longue, boisé puis amertume.
Au final, un rhum agréable, léger mais qui manque de caractère, il fera bonne base pour les cocktails. Existe en bouteille de grès à la Réunion, je n'ai pas noté de différence de goût.

Rum with very decent and mature taste. Without disturbing punch of alcohol aroma. Not very sweet taste, but balanced and gentle.

Rhum vieux traditionnel de la Réunion, 4 ans d'âge, titre : 40°.
Bouteille : packaging un peu clinquant, rhum couleur or pâle.
Nez : doux et fruité
Attaque: douce, assez proche d'un whisky puis boisé et amertume.
Finale : assez longue, boisé puis petite note beurrée.
Au final, un rhum agréable, plutôt doux, qui ressemble à du whisky, assez sec mais qui manque de caractère.

This is a nice rum. I do not feel that it is good enough to has a permanent place on my rum shelf, but I could drink this anytime without complaints.

I was expecting something more, something better. This is not a bad rum, but I think I can find better in this price range.

This was a really nice surprise, I do like it. I believe that it is a match for pricier rums.

I tested this rum last weekend, and I liked it. It is a good choice, I recommend it.

I had a chance to taste a small bottle of this rum. Its taste slightly reminds me of peated whiskies, which I do not really like.

Fik den via rom julekalender. Har en fin næse med god dyb duft af lagring eg og vanilje.
Forsætter i smagen og bliver ved at smage i munden efter lidt tid.
Ganske fint glad og rigtig godt sammen med en kop kaffe

Experimental?! Its a great invention, pure fantastic taste, smell, nincs "after"taste, light, smooth. Nearly 10.

Nice taste, smell and "after"taste. Really good caracteristic taste.

Aroma is all fruit, the taste is also fruity with big vanilla notes. Almost no alcohol burn, really smooth
