Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is one of the 3 releases of the XV and it's pretty good actually. The nose starts off with a lot of caramel, in a good way, then goes into candied fruits wit some oakiness to it. The palate continues with the fruits and some leather and spices. The Port cask is definitely there and I like it. The finish is medium to long, astringent with vanilla and sweetness to it. Price to quality is good.
Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose, aromas of vanilla, nuts (almond) and cherry are delicious. Classic caramel and tobacco are also present. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is soft but also intense and one might think that this rum is over 40°. Caramel, tobacco and nuts make up this gourmet profile. 8:The finish is long, with tobacco playing the leading role. Wood and almond try to take the spotlight, but are ultimately defeated..
Review by Johannes
Wow, amazingly complex! Beautiful depth, wood, bitterness, wine, sweetness, palatable.
Review by Timo Groeger
Oh wow, this rum impressed me. It has a lovely vanilla aroma on the nose, followed by spices. The palate also has a nice, slightly spicy vanilla flavor. Reasonable sweetness and well-integrated alcohol round off the good impression.
Review by Benoit Mahe
Not a bad ron, even if it would surely get nauseating in the long run and I find it expensive for what it is.
Review by Roman Lelek
The color is really dark brown with red tones - mahagon maybe. The nose - a lot of fruits - cherry tones, wood and spices - like burnt sugar, barrel, vanilla The taste is sweet, but not bad cheap sweet, but more like caramel and dried fruits or honey, woody tones of oak, alcohol is integrated very well, but still present in background.. The aftertaste taste is medium or long - keeps me warm with taste of nuts, wood . Overall I like it, even if I am not into soleras. This one is by my opinion the most complex solera I have tasted.
Review by Oscar Fernandez
I came back with this beauty! Rich, full of flavors and scents, quite complex! I finished the bottle in the evening with a friend, very good!

strasne sladke
Review by Pavel Spacek
Not well sweetened and spiced rum, but drinkable
Review by ElReyTristan
A lovely nose for cherry lovers. The port cask has imparted lovely sweet notes to this rum. A hint of grenadine syrup is tempting. On the palate, a big disappointment in my opinion: at 40%, it's too reduced and there's not much left but a little syrup...
Review by Cino
Smooth, sweet rum that manages to find its own balance. Notes of caramel, chocolate, fruit, wood and leather. Very pleasant on the palate.
Review by Jeremy Hayes
Excellent tawney cask rum
Review by Toník
better than food
Review by MJ72
Barrel notes come through, port, some plum, very pleasant. Pleasantly soft in the mouth, port continues, dark caramel with light coffee notes. Pleasantly long finish.
Review by Motvind
Väldigt god och väldigt mycket smaker, utan att något tar över. Ek, vanilj, russin/körsbär, lite tobak och karamell.
