Review by cigares
A rum tasted at the Lucerne Rum and Gin Festival in 2024. A beautiful nose with caramel, roasted pineapple, wood and herbs. The palate is smooth, as on the nose, it's very clean, no false tastes. The alcohol is present but perfectly integrated with roasted pineapple, wood and leather flavors. The finish is long for a Cuban. A very fine rum through and through, with no flaws. Not wildly complex aromatically, but very pleasurable.

Loads of woodspices. Not bad. Not spectaculair.
Review by Skyfly
War durch die Durchschnittsbewertung recht skeptisch, wurde jedoch nicht enttäuscht. Die Karamellaromen, welche teilweise in eine herrliche Creme Brulee übergehen sind unglaublich stark ausgebracht. Daneben viel getoastetes Holz, Gewürze, Kaffee und Leder. Alkohol erstklassig!
Review by Johannes
Wieder mal bin ich sehr skeptisch wegen der inflationären Cuban Rums.… der Rum ist sehr süß, am ehesten Port Finish. wirkt wie künstlich aufgesprittet. Nett zu trinken, aber Abgang sehr kurz, nicht wirklich Komplexität vorhanden.
Review by Lennart Hofeditz
An interesting bottling due to the long maturation. The alcohol is very well integrated and it is great how the sweetness of the Cuban rum harmonizes with the toasting and the oak wood. It comes with a strong raisin note. Overall interesting because of the long maturation, but not super complex.
Review by Serge
In keeping with its age, there are beautiful woody notes that work beautifully with vanilla, dried fruit and caramel. There is also some pineapple and coffee (with good intentions). Almost a little too sweet on the palate. Good rum, but in my opinion - in the tradition of old Cubans - clearly overpriced.
