Destileria Sofa El General 2009

6.8/10
Rated by Jakub Hrubý, Toník & 16 more

Sweet-tooth sippers easing into aged Venezuelan rum will get on with this one: caramel and vanilla up front, dried dates in the background, soft and easy at 40%. The catch a few tasters flag is a lack of depth, plus a slightly bitter caramel note creeping into the finish. Pleasant, gentle, not much to chew on past the first sip.

  • Easy drinking
  • Caramel and vanilla
  • Soft, gentle

Soft, sweet caramel sipper, short on depth Easy, sweetish caramel-and-vanilla pour most found pleasant but thin. One member summed it up as "average, non significant, but not disgusting"; the bitter caramel finish divides people.

Nice, easy drinking rum. Wooden and vanilla taste notes. But lack of depth in taste.

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🙈
