Ich finde diesen Rum einfach sehr rund. Es ist schon das erwartbare Dom Rep Profil aber dabei auch einfach sehr lecker. Gute Fassauswahl und mit Sicherheit ein Rum der den ein oder anderen für die Rumwelt begeistern kann ohne große Überraschungen für die nerds dieser Welt 😜

5.0/10

Er mag ja besser sein als andere Rums seiner Herkunft (welche ich nie trinke). Für mich schmeckt er aber genau so, wie ich diese in Erinnerung habe. Multi-Column alkoholisch mit schlechter Einbindung und mehr nach Fass als nach Charakter, welcher vom Rum herrührt. Spanier. Mit schönen Kakao-Noten zwar – das mag sein – aber trotzdem Spanier. Aber man muss ja nicht alles mögen. Mir fehlt hoer auf jeden Fall ganz viel von Allem.

7.6/10

auch nach längerer Standzeit eher verhalten an der Nase. Ich mache Piment, junges Holz, Vanille, ein wenig Toffee und leichte grüne (vegetabile) Noten aus. Am Gaumen Fass, würzige Noten, Schokolade. Angesichts der hohen Erwartungen aber doch nur Durchschnitt. Da gefallen mir manche Oliver&Oliver Abfüllungen aus der DomRep (wie der Ron Esclavo XO, Cubaney Centenario oder Tres Hombres) besser.

7.3/10

Un rhum hispanique relativement supérieur à ses confrères, mais qui a besoin de temps pour s’ouvrir. Le nez est tourné vers les épices (vanille, poivre, piment), le chocolat, le boisé qui est assez léger, les fruits secs, le caramel et une touche pâtissière. Malgré tout, l’alcool est assez présent dans les narines. Viennent par la suite de légères notes herbacées, plutôt inattendues. Un profil plutôt nerveux qui a besoin de se détendre. En bouche, c’est un rhum assez léger, terne et fade qui se dévoile petit à petit. Le chocolat, le caramel, les épices (vanille, poivre, réglisse et sel) font la part belle du palais avec quelques fruits secs, mais cela s’arrête là. L’alcool demeure présent, piquant légèrement le palais, mais se révèlant moins envahissant qu’au nez. La finale est extrêmement courte, sur des notes globalement similaires. Le chocolat noir, le café et les noix sont plus marquées, mais ne permettent pas de prolonger la longueur en bouche. Un rhum hispanique plus authentique que la plupart des rhums de ce style, mais qui manque de raffinement et de profondeur pour concurrencer les autres styles.

Above average Spanish style rum. The alcohol is not ideally integrated and bites a little. On the palate, an interesting combination of chocolate and salt. Nice, but I personally lack the depth and creaminess.

6.5/10

Ein klassischer spanischer Stil von mittelmäßiger Qualität! Der Alkohol ist nicht sehr gut eingebunden, am Gaumen kommt er dennoch leicht und dünn daher… es fehlt ihm an Tiefe und Komplexität Da gibt es deutlich bessere, obwohl mich dieser Rum-Stil bislang nicht überzeugen konnte
