Well-liked but with an honest caveat: after 30 years in cask, the oak does most of the talking. Caramel, honey, toffee and vanilla carry a soft, sweet body, and a leather-tobacco note in the palate adds a little interest. Most tasters find it mild and approachable; several also find it sweetened and a touch one-dimensional once the wood takes over.
The community says- Soft and mild
- Caramel-honey body
- Keep in mind: Tastes sweetened

Soft, sweet Spanish sipper — oak runs the show A gentle, sweet Spanish-style sipper most owners enjoy — just don't expect much beyond wood, caramel and honey, and it reads a little sweetened.

8,2:On the nose, roasted wood notes with nuts, cocoa, toffee, spicy vanilla, sweet sugar cane with honey, flowery, orange, orange peel and dried fruits, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, the sugarcane is mineral, grassy, waxy, the fruits are candied, confectionery and caramel are out. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is oily, soft with sweet sugar honey, mineral, flowery, earthy, roasted wood notes like caramel, chocolate, roasted nuts, fruit cake, leather, spicy with vanilla, as the fruits are candied, citrus and dried. 8,2:The finish is medium long, dry, slightly tannic, with notes from the palate lingering on. Edit:8.6.26

The oak is very dominant in this 30+ year rum. In fact so dominant the most other flavours are covered up and it appears light. There is a bit og orange and caramel in there as well. Not a bad rum as such but the price is too high.
Review by Timo Groeger
Honestly, I have to admit I really like this rum. Sure, it's relatively sweet, but that's not a problem right now. Caramel, honey, toffee, and vanilla stand out here. Nice one :)
Review by Tim
This rum is stored behind bars (no joke) in the Arehucas Distellerie in Gran Canaria because it is valuable to its makers. A guided tour with tasting at the end is very worth it there. It has a great bottle and is very old. Unfortunately, the flavors do not leave much except wood, but it is very mild. Qualitatively high quality rum, but the too long storage do this rum no favors. For the price therefore not worth it.
Review by Jarek
A rum from the early days of my rum passion. Today it is a little too sweet for me and could do with more power. Nevertheless, a delicious drop with a very pleasant nose. What I can't quite understand is the apparently exaggerated wood influence of the tasters. Mine has only light, pleasant woody notes on the palate and in the finish. Different batches?
Review by Keujkes
To woody for my taste. For me not worth the price
Review by Jack M
Fairly generic Spanish style rum. Vanilla and sweet (honey) throughout. There is a leather and tobacco note in the palate which adds a little. There is nothing bad here and it isn’t obviously full of additives (though I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there were a little sugar). It is nice and approachable and I’m sure some would love it, but it just isn’t very interesting.
Review by Johannes
Oh dear, clearly sweetened, overall little flavor, artificial aromas with baking spices, orange, vanillin.
Review by Michal Jurka
Sweet, sweet, bland, than sweet again and not much else. Vanilla, caramel, honey.
