Review by Tim
Leckerer Dom Rep Rum, allerdings etwas zu süß. Absolute Standardaromen, die man von vielen anderen spanischen Rums her kennt. Leider etwas dünn, als Anfängerrum geht es noch klar, aber so günstig ist dieser Rum dann auch nicht. Fazit: gibt günstigere und bessere Rums dieses Stils.

Für mein Geschmack zu süss.

Für mich ein schöner Rum.
Review by Tom Buteneers
Hier had ik toch een zeker verwachting van bij het zien van het etiket en ik moet toegeven dat deze die ook werd ingelost. Zachte rum in Spaanse stijl, de alcohol is waarneembaar als een fijn ingewerkt detail. Het mondgevoel is subliem. De rum bracht exact wat ik ervan verwachtte op voorhand, dat gebeurt niet vaak. Ik denk dat dit eentje is die bij veel mensen in de smaak zal vallen aangezien dit een voorbeeld is van de manier waarop rum ook heel toegankelijk kan gemaakt worden voor een breder publiek.

Original impressions from 2017 rum calendar. Nose: ** Taste: *** Overall: *** I have to give this rum some more credit compared to my first tasting back in 2018. This is a rum with a subtle and elegant nose that doesn’t reveal that much. Taste is nice and I find the sweetness almost like burnt sugar and some dried fruits and raisins. A nice sipper.
Review by Korkennase🥃
Der Rum ist für Einsteiger geeignet. Hier wurde mit Zucker nachgeholfen 48g/L. Der Rum ist eher was für Leute die süßen Rum mögen😋. Nase und Geschmack differieren hier doch stark...schade 😒. Weniger Zucker hätte dem Rum gut getan.
Review by BTHHo 🥃
Taste: Sweet flavors combine with vanilla, honey, caramel and cinnamon. The extra percentages have given Ron Esclavo XO a little more power to the taste.
Review by Stefan Persson
Much too sweet for me! At the nose it’s round with aromas of vanilla, caramel and cocoa. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s sweet and round with flavors of vanilla, caramel and chocolate.
Review by heckto🥃
Ein guter Rum im spanischen Stil. Angenehm in der Nase mit Schokoladen- und Fruchtnoten. Am Gaumen Karamell, Vanille und Honig. Der Abgang ist unspektakulär. Für Süßrumfans aber eine klare Kaufempfehlung.
Review by Verner Sørensen
En af mine første rom forelskelser. Nu smager den bare ikke rigtigt af noget 🤔😩den er tynd og uden eftersmag. En flaske jeg skal have brugt i drinks 🍹
Review by w00tAN
Sehr mild und rund aber auch ziemlich süß. Für Einsteiger oder wenn man was leichtes für den Einstieg will gut geeignet, wie ich finde.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
süß süß und nochmal süß 🤦🏼♂️ die Nase verspricht etwas mehr als die vorherigen aber dann wird wieder alles mit literweise Zucker kaputt gemacht...
