Destileria Sofa El General 2009
Anyone who likes an easy, sweetish sipper will get on with this Venezuelan molasses rum: caramel and vanilla up front, a little dried date, and a light woody edge. Most tasters land around "easy drinking" but note it runs thin on depth, and one flagged a slightly bitter caramel finish. Pleasant enough, not much to dig into.

- Caramel and vanilla
- But: Lacks depth

Review by Jindrich Strobl
Nice, easy drinking rum. Wooden and vanilla taste notes. But lack of depth in taste.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Average, non significant, but not disgusting
Review by Martin Ekrt
Cítit je hlavně po karamelu a vanilce se sušenými datlemi. Chuť: Sladkost vyšší, ale ještě snesitelná. Převážně karamel s trochou sušeného ovoce a vanilky. Škoda divného závěru, kde ruší jakási karamelová hořkost. Darovanému koni na zuby nekoukej🙈
