Opinions land all over the place on this Venezuelan column-still rum. Some find it pleasant and drier than the usual sweet Venezuelan style, with banana, oak, vanilla and coffee; one taster caught "notes of fig and hints of chocolate." Others call it flat and a touch sharp, with 40% ABV that still pokes through despite the 18-year age. Nice frosted bottle, opinions on the liquid vary.
The community says- Banana and vanilla
- Drier than most Venezuela
- Keep in mind: Alcohol stays present

Dry-leaning oaky Venezuelan, opinions split Ratings sit mid-pack. Less sweet than typical Venezuela, with banana, oak and vanilla, but a few find it thin, oaky and a bit boring, and the alcohol stays present.

It presents itself as an interesting drink with a certain element of complexity, opening up to more fruity tones with a sweeter finish but with a strong presence of alcohol. It's worth exploring this Ron and feeling the strength and tradition of Venezuela.

I thought the Exclusiva to be better. I always hope the rums that are boxed will be something special. It was not the case with this one for me. While I do not believe there are additives, there was just enough of an almond flavor to make me wonder. Points for the frosted bottle.
Review by Rene Nielsen
Rum Tasting 19/4-24 Peters Vin. Nose: vanilla, leather, some oak. Taste: Again some tobaco, vanilla, different spices, oaky. Finish: Again dry and oaky, White pepper. A boring rum without complexicty,
Review by BTHHo 🥃
A pleasant duration with notes of fig and hints of chocolate.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
A little more wood influence, coffee and banana. Less sweet than usual for Venezuela.
Review by Blockzeitwilli
Light nose with some fruit, vanilla and a little sweetness. Alcohol quite present in the mouth. Similar flavors as before on the nose. Medium long finish.

3EM - Had a younger version before. But this bottle was one sale and had a nice box. Overall similar to the younger rum, but more oak notes (vanilla, caramel, woodiness). Still has sharpness that the younger has. Fun experiment since have had the younger. It does have a nice halo when looking through the glass showing it is aged. Honestly about what I expected from tasting the younger. Not my personal favorite but good try so can reference people to it that like the flavor profile. I'm just a fan of more hogo rums but this might be good reference for rye drinkers to try.
