Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A very nice Spanish rum from a destillery making rum since 1884 and has been delivering to the Spanish Royal family since 1892. A ver refined rum with a nicely rounded palate. Clear taste of molasses, spices and tobacco. Very good at the price tag.
Review by LukaŽiga
7:On the nose, we get oak spice and vanilla with lightly pungent baking spice (allspice, nutmeg and hints of cinnamon) and leather. Caramel and marzipan climb into the breezes and well as notes of banana and bits of bittersweet chocolate. 7,2:On the palate, this rum is lightly sweet with light caramel and chocolate flavours combined with leathery oak and vanilla. Baking spice (cinnamon and hints of clove) and dry fruit (raisin) add some complexity as does a taste of nougat and pungent tobacco. It is pleasant to sip with some higher citrus notes brightening the palate. 6,8:The finish is short, but it is smooth with ebbing flavours of chocolate caramel and fine oak spice..
Review by Tim
An der Nase zum einem fruchtignussige Sherrynoten, aber auch brauner Zucker, geröstetes Karamell und Vanille. Im Mund süß, etwas rauchig, im Abgang würziger Honig mit süßer Orange. Dieser Rum ist nicht so gut wie sein 18-jähriger Bruder von Arehucas. Jünger, rauer, dünner und weniger Geschmack. Da lohnt sich der Aufpreis zum 18y auf jeden Fall.

Tasting similar to Madeira rums

Good rum for the price
Review by High Ester Maitai
From start sweet with maggi notes. Aroma and taste. In taste sweetness is sugary with notes of caramelised honey and vanilla. Pleasant, not overwhelming. Sweetness is on first plan, on second is oak with not so pleasant maggie, and maybe spice? It has buttery taste/felling Finish is medium. Sugar stay and oak change to tannins, not bad. Overall it is not bad rum. Pleasent, but nothing exciting

naja... viel zu süß und Alkoholisch unsauber🙈
Review by Tom Buteneers
Aangenaam mondgevoel, zoetig/houterig met een milde bitterheid in de afdronk. Prijs/kwaliteit in orde.
Review by Dirk E.
schöner Rum aber etwas Dünn im Geschmack
Review by Heffernan
Pur getrunken muss ich leider sagen, dass der Arehucas bis jetzt der schlechteste Rum ist, den ich probieren durfte. Er wird von einem sehr starken Alkoholgeschmack getragen, kommt daher sehr scharf/sprittig daher. Facetten/Nuancen = Fehlanzeige. Hab ihn jetzt mit Cola gestreckt, so ist er nun halbwegs trinkbar. Meinen Geschmack hat er definitiv nicht getroffen, einen Kauf kann ich demnach nicht empfehlen.
Review by Malte
Hab schon besseres im Schrank, aber soweit ist dieser Rum in Ordnung und trinkbar.
