Review by LukaŽiga
6,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is light with roasted wood notes as burnt sugar, caramel, nougat, spicy with vanilla, clove, cinnamon and fruity with an apple, a coconut. 7,3:On the palate, the attack is quite tasty, sweet with roasted wood notes as caramel, honey, cola and spices as allspice, perhaps cinnamon. It comes out a bit alcoholic, from the fruits, there are raisins, bananas, coconuts. 6,9:The finish is long, soft and syrupy, sweet with caramel, fruits like apples, some spices and burnt wood....

This is a very nice sipper from Bacardi. Not at all pretentious but just an excellent rum. The average age of the rum released today is 12 years, slightly under what ir was when first released.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 15 - junges Holz, Vanille; süßer als sein Vorgänger, etwas Haselnussschnaps, wodurch es künstlich wirkt. Alkohol kaum spürbar. Einfach kein guter Spiced Rum.
Review by Johannes
The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Nicht schlecht, schön rund, etwas Fasseinfluss, aber auch nicht viel mehr.
Review by Stefan L
Old bottle I’ve had for years. 40% ABV and the sweetness is not my thing anymore.
Review by cigares
Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A faint nose of yellow fruit, sweetness and neutral alcohol. On the palate, first yellow fruit, then caramel, burnt caramel and wood. The finish is short, with apple and burnt caramel. These Bacardi Premiums are definitely not worth their high price tag. Yet the best of the series.
Review by Alex1981
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Jetzt drei ältere Bacardi im Vergleich. Ebenfalls auf der eher süßen und dünnen Seite. Wenigstens nicht so extrem wie manch anderer, dennoch eher zum überspringen
Review by Mirco
Rum No. 15 Leider etwas zu süss, mit Fass und Vanille. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊

Reiht sich in die muffigen nichtssagenden Bacardis ein.
Review by Franzi
Ist ok. Nicht besonders interessant, aber wenigstens nicht besonders sprittig und noch gerade so angenehm süß.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leider insgesamt deutlich zu süß. Dafür aber Aromatisch spannender wie der 8 "Ocho" mit den typischen Tabak und gebranntes Karamell Noten die ich mit Puerto Rico und Kuba oft assoziiere. Die süße stört mich hier leider enorm.
