Corman Collins Arturo Makasare 30 años

Newcomers and anyone who wants an easy after-dinner sipper will find the most here. Thirty years of column-still Dominican aging gives soft wood, vanilla, caramel and milky-coffee sweetness, with a little dried fruit late on. One member calls it a "smoothe Geschichte" — round, no edges, easy to drink. The flip side: it's sweet and accessible but short on real complexity.

Not at the level of the 1st batch for a long time. But still a great Everyday Spanish Easy-Sipper with depth and sweet wood flavors. Excellent for newcomers and is also always great with my guests.For barrel strength warriors certainly not the right rum.

5.9/10

In my taste it's average so less than 60. Way too reduced watery and on top of that on roasted caramel, which I don't like.

Typical profile of the Makasare releases. Maybe a bit more balanced thanks to the higher maturity - but the differences are marginal. Again caramel, vanilla, chocolate, milk coffee, wood and spices. Very sweet, overall accessible, but without special complexity.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut

The oakiness is the only thing that safes it from being completely forgettable. But the oak is nice and for something I don't care for, it has some qualities. It is rather sweet but not overly. I think this is okay!
