Review by Rum Watcher
One of the many Cubans at the moment and they are all quite similar. It's kind of x-mas around here, without spice. Very sweet, very pleasing and hardly any wood for its age (even the 60yo of the Agency had hardly any woodspice, which I found very impressive). Even a beginner can enjoy this rum very well.
Review by Johannes
Nose: Cinnamon, vanilla, sweetness. Palate: Alcohol, vanilla, baking spices. Relatively short finish. Overall, I expected more, a little less flavor, little complexity, too alcoholic despite the dilution. Somehow I don't really warm to the Cubans. Perhaps not quite my favorite taste profile.
Review by LukaŽiga
8,3:On the nose, the first impression we get is fruity with banana and minty, as a roasted wood with spices quickly overtakes the leading position with roasted nuts, caramel, perhaps toffee, vanilla, maybe hazelnut and defintely walnut.The burnt sugar is nicely caramelized. On aeration, the fruits are dried, especially figs, the molasses vegetal.With resting, cinnamon, mango become more obvious. 8,2:On the palate, the attack is fruity and woody with tropical, citrus fruits, spicy and caramelized roasted wood and toffee, coffee.The molasses is vegetal with mint, waxy, after some rest, there are red bell peppers, pairing with creamy vanilla and unripe banana.It becomes a bit metallic. Dried, yellow fruits, pear and citrus nicely round up metallic notes with some nuts and leather. 7,7:The finish is long, a bit imbalanced with nutty roasted wood, dry, tannic, the molasses is vegetal, waxy.Thankfully, an orchard fruit compote neutralizes, rounds it a bit...with banana... Edit:27.1.25.
Review by Jakob
Not too exciting, but with enough time in the glass (in this case a good four hours), the rum becomes very accessible. It lacks aromatic depth, with intense vanilla and toffee notes primarily standing out, which make for a pleasant drinking experience without too much additional complexity. The alcohol should also be better integrated.
Review by Thunderbird
Und wieder mal ein Cuba-Rum…. der mal wieder nichts aussagt…. Dünn, eindimensional, süßlich… es ist einfach nicht zu verstehen, warum von dort so gut wie nichts gescheites mehr abgefüllt bei uns ankommt. Auf Cuba selber habe ich vor 10 Jahren deutlich besseren Rum verkostet
Review by zabo
A brief Cuban afternoon in the last rays of sunshine. The RX22145 and the RX22444 were tasted in parallel with a good cigar. For me personally, there really wasn't much difference in age to be tasted. Both solid Cubans that go very well with a cigar, but unfortunately don't end up in the group of top rums. But they are still solid bottlings that are on a par.
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
When I first tasted the rum, I thought it was an imposition, a joke. New Year's Eve instead of the expected Christmas: Firecrackers and burnt Bengalos. Musty, sweet and artificial spiced liqueur? On the second tasting, I find the rum better, but it somehow has nothing to do with what you would expect from an old Cuban who, at 30 years old, is now a real adult. At least the alcohol is well integrated. But all in all, I have to say that this rum is unfortunately a failure and is really miles away from the 92 Wu Dram Clan (RX18823), for example. It could certainly be better. Nevertheless, many thanks to FischeJ for the opportunity to take part in this experiment.
Review by Schnubbi
Geschmacklich schon Cuba, aber ziemlich dünn und nichtssagend. Ein Rum, den man nicht braucht.
