Milk chocolate, caramel and creamy vanilla lead here, with raisins, coffee and a toasted-oak edge underneath. It's a soft, sweet Dominican pour at 40% that one member happily called their dessert of choice. Most find it easy and pleasant; a few pick up a faint synthetic note on the nose and wish it were less sweet and a touch stronger.
The community says- Chocolate-caramel palate

How does A.F.D. Patridom Seleccion Exclusiva taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, chocolate-caramel dessert sipper Well-liked as a sweet, chocolate-caramel sipper, "nice, soft and smooth" for many. The recurring catch: too sweet and a bit thin for drinkers who want more punch and complexity.

On the nose there are sweet fruits. On the palate, there is dark cocoa. Got quite a bit of cask flavor. For some probably too much. I think the sweetness holds it nicely.

Turf, sweetish. Becomes a bit annoying after a while
Review by LukaŽiga
7,2:On the nose there are floral notes of geranium, other herbal notes. Alcohol is present, the rum gives an impression of youth. Then vanilla and almond come in, before woodiness and tobacco intrude into the scenery. Vanilla gives a feeling of soft and sweet rum with some confectionery, like strawberry marshmallows. With an aeration it becomes fruitier, with syrupy strawberry and raspberries.Vanilla candy, cinnamon and caramel add complexity, with a darker side with the alcohol coming up. Then notes like toasted bread, light maple syrup, mocha and cocoa arise. 7,2:On the palate the vanilla is the very first, with very sweet fruit syrup. The wood and cinnamon with coffee cause the rum to become thick and dry.A milk chocolate shows up also. 7:This finish is sweet with vanilla and some sweet spices..
Review by TheRhumhoe
Rebranded by Ron Esclavo, this juice is intended to be gentle and simplistic enough to appeal to as many people as possible. On the nose, scents of raisin and dried fruit mingle with oak, caramel, sweet vanilla spices and nuts. It's enticing enough for someone just discovering it, but bland enough for a finer nose. On the palate, the chocolate comes through with coffee, caramel, spices and raisin. It's mellow, sweet, without much complexity, just an easy-drinking candy for aperitifs. No need to wonder whether the alcohol is well integrated here. The finish is surprisingly longer than expected, but the aromas remain simple and identical to those described: sugar, coffee, caramel, raisins, chocolate, vanilla and light oak. A small rum for small occasions.
Review by Rumpalumpa
On the nose as you expect from the Dom Rep. The barrel comes primarily to the fore, after a while with creamy vanilla pudding. Continues the same on the palate, with raisins and quite sweet. Unspectacular but somehow tasty.
Review by Timo Groeger
I also find this Patridom very tasty, surprisingly good for a 40%. Nice notes of chocolate, coffee and caramel on the palate, the chocolate is not so prominent on the nose. Very tasty in any case.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
24 Days of Rum – Black Edition – Day 01 First impression: Pleasantly woody, vanilla, rounded aroma Nose: very sweet, caramel Palate: unfortunately initially alcoholic, then very typical general rum aromas unfold Finish: spicy, dry, medium length Overall impression: average rum, I like the nose better than the palate, otherwise does not impress me
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This one was also sweet but better balanced than the previous one. Lightly fruity, but I would have loved a higher ABV and less sweetness.
Review by rum_sk
I like various rums like the ones from hampden, worthy park, uitvlugt, appleton to albert michler, cartavio, dos maderas and now PATRIDOM too. If somebody would ask my recommendation for a sweet but nicely balanced, full of flavour heavy on palate rum, I would go with this one. 👃 is not anything interesting for me notes of wood, fruit, vanilla, alcohol and weird synthetic chemical substance I cannot name. Palate is just a nice sweet chocolate / caramel / nougat / coffee, creme brulee, underlined by roasted sugar and oaky barrel taste. Just pure sweetness a tad bit too much of sweetness but hey, as a desert it's great for even us men. Perfect if you have a craving for something sweet. Btw the photo got me, I was reviewing the Selección Exclusiva (12YO)which is on the photo not the gran reserva (5-6YO). I found my sweet rum of choice, my dessert. Raising up a few points after several retastes. Short to medium finish. 26.1.2024 bottle kill.
Review by Andi
Too sweet for me.
Review by Ondřej Koller
Nice, soft and smooth. Vanilla and chocolate. Also quite dry
Review by Werner10
First of all, the picture that is listed is for the Patridom Selección Exclusiva. I almost posted a review yesterday after trying that one 😅 it needs to be in the database because it's a good one. So today i tried the Gran Reserva. I could tell right away that it was quite a bit younger the alcohol isn't integrated very well imo. It makes it quite a bit sharper. For the rest it's pretty much ok for me. Woody, sweet, caramel and dried fruits. Not bad for what it costs but i would always pay the little bit extra and get the Selección Exclusiva, it's worth it.
Review by Ondra RumRunner
This rum comes from the Dominican producer Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos and was introduced under the brand 1423 World. The rum offers a sweet aroma with prominent notes of honey, caramel, and vanilla, complemented by hints of nuts and raisins. On the palate, creamy flavors of milk chocolate, spices, and wood dominate, providing a pleasant and complex structure. The finish is balanced with a light sweetness and woodiness. This rum will please lovers of sweeter and balanced flavors.
Review by Martin Ekrt
On the nose fruit, wood, vanilla, caramel, sugar. I expected even more sugar, but it’s not that it’s not sweet. No orchestra of flavors takes place. Mainly caramel, sugar, toasted barrel, vanilla, and dried fruit dominate. For someone just getting started probably good, for me it’s not anymore.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.1 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2024. Easy sipper with a sweet caramel and woody vanilla flavour. Nice on the nose and pleasant on the palate.
Review by Patrick 79
Sweet, caramelized sensation that I appreciate. Better after a little airing. Good value for money.
Review by Anubis_CZ
First sample from advent calendar from 1423 company. Not first sample from patridom. Tastes good, little bit alcoholic in nosing, but Sweet Woody Taste with chocolate tones. Not sure, if i need whole bottle :)
Review by Robert Houba
Slightly sharper, quite woody, but not like Brugal. Hint of raisins.

Nice, not offensive. Like the guy who sat in front of you in chemistry that you can’t remember the name of. Oak and vanilla. Not overly sweet but more sweet that I prefer rum. A brush of coffee cake. An easy everyday drop but doesn’t push out any of my top shelf gotos when I want something exceptional.
Review by Solidfunk
First mini of this 24 Days of Rum calendar I got. This is the black edition. Fairly nice on the nose. Tangerine and vanilla. Dark copper pour. The smell is pretty citrusy, but mouth feel is quite sweet.
Review by Oggy
Notes of wood, vanilla both on the nose and palate, smell of salted butter caramel.

Spivey vanilla, good for mixing only

This rum will not hurt anybody. It is quite alcoholic and distinctly sweet DomRep juice. There is a market for this.
