Malecon 21 Years - Reserva Imperial
Anyone easing into aged sipping rum will find plenty to like here: caramel, vanilla and a marzipan-almond sweetness with just a light touch of wood. A few tasters call it a nice entry aged rum, though at 40% it reads soft and a little thin. One noted it turns slightly medicinal and roasty on the finish. Pleasant and easy rather than deep.

Most helpful positive review
A medium sweet rum with a light touch of wood. The fruits, spices and caramel put a nice backbone into this rum. Unfortunately the price, when compared to the 15 year old, is a bit steep.

Most helpful critical review
Even slightly better than 15y &18y but a little medicinal and roasty on the finish. For 40% it could be a little milder and less spicy. Certainly works well with a cigar, pure it's a bit too boring for me...
Review by Johannes
Some wood, nutty, thin, but pleasant to drink.
Review by Pavel Ungr, RumRock
21 years of aging. With 7.3 out of 10, it's a good, though not exceptional rum.
Review by Richard Krupa
Better than 18y, not so sweet.
Review by Jürgen Gigl
Not sweet and very drinkable
Review by Gregor
Nice rum. A little too sweet and too weak. But great flavors that have a lot of potential. Nice starter
Review by LasseL
A nice, very harmonious rum. It’s rather sweet and not overcomplex. It tastes very soft and hardly at all alcoholic. I found the nose weak and slightly biting.
Review by R Wehner
Spice! Nose just a gentle pre-smell; tongue then the spice-wood hammer, everything included: chocolate, coffee, vanilla, ... a bit of alc, but great, very complex
Review by Anonymous
Very good on the nose, but I wouldn't buy it.
