Un rum spaziale ❤️
Review by cigares
A complex nose of dried fruit, nuts, prune and wet wood. The palate opens elegantly, with spicy notes and cracked old leather. Very full and round, but the aromas quickly disappear. The finish is clearly too short, which gave us the idea of blending it with Whisky Jury 1978, which is extremely successful, with a score (9.2) far superior to the two rums taken separately.
Review by Jakob
The expectations are already very high after the review on whiskyfun.com - and thus already on the road in somewhat unfair dimensions. No, we are not on the level of the Demerara king class, as the age, the pipe tobacco notes and also the deep mahogany in the glass let hope (at least these thoughts slumbered in me). But we nevertheless have the distinct pleasure of an expressive and very appealing rum, whose imposing age does not introduce any distracting bitter notes, but contributes to the aromatic density. On the palate, the sweetness reminiscent of Paxarette increasingly gains the upper hand over the probably manageably complex distillate in its origin, which on the one hand means that we are not advancing to the absolute Olympus here, but on the other hand we are still on an extremely high level. Summa summarum: A very appealing release that offers a lot of fun.
Review by Mirco
A very nice rum with impressive age. I was actually expecting more bitterness. But the rum has a little too much sweetness for me. Very enjoyable.
Review by Oliver
On the nose, memories of hot chocolate. Very intense aroma - despite the 46.7%. On the palate dark, toasty and really tasty. Quite sweet, almost too much. Out the back lacks a bit of complexity. Exciting and extraordinary rum (50 year old Cuban you do not often get in the glass). For a top rating but lacks some depth and complexity.

Nice, top alcohol intrgrated with molases added
Review by Johannes
Exciting rum! On the nose I have cane sugar, lots of coffee, slightly plum. The palate is dominated by coffee, caramel, meat and tobacco. Surprisingly full-bodied for 46% with a long finish. However, the meaty note bothers me. I'm also skeptical as to whether the rum isn't a little sweetened. I also wonder where, as an unknown rum bottler, you can suddenly get hold of a 50-year-old rum at such a humane price. Finally, the question of which distillery this rum should come from? A bit many question marks... The second time around, I find the sweetness, especially in the finish, very disturbing and unnatural.

Nicht wirklich überzeugend, Agngang macht nicht wirklich Spaß
