Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5778 28.09.2025 Day two of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. Finally Shakara hit the sweet spot with this release. Far better than the previous ones and really well balanced in the profile. Wood and ABV are near perfectly balanced with the coconut, chocolage, nutts and dried fruit.
Review by Johannes
Ich bin richtig überrascht! Schöne tropische Noten, Vanille, Holz, zudem jüngere fruchtige Ester, die mich an Guyana Diamond wie z.B. Eldorado 1998 CBH erinnern. Richtig gut! Leider etwas dünn abgefüllt.
Review by Righrum
Whisky Live Paris 2025 - to be tasted again to confirm the score and notes. A good easy-sipping rum with an amazing price-quality ratio. Sweet and tasty, with caramel and vanilla plus some wood on the palate. 5 years of ageing make the profile rounder and add a lot of complexity. This rum yet somehow recall a foursquare, but it's really intense for the price tag.
Review by Andreas Schütze
Ein ausgezeichneter Rum. Ich bin vom El Dorado 12 zum Shakara 12 gekommen und nun der 15er ist nochmal eine tolle Steigerung.
