Vanilla, honey and caramel lead here, with roasted banana and a hint of milk chocolate underneath and an oily, medium finish. It's a sweetened Barbados rum (members reckon a Foursquare base) that most call a "very good starter rum." Easy and round, but low on complexity and clearly sugared — a couple of tasters find it a touch artificial.

How does Albert Michler Distillery Austrian Empire Navy Rum Reserva 1863 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet, round beginner rum, low complexity Most see an easy, sweet entry rum: honey, vanilla and chocolate, gentle and round. The common gripe is it's too sweet and a bit flat, with little to chew on.

A sweet aroma, mildly alcoholic and sharp, slight hints of fruit. A pleasantly sweet taste, slightly oily in the mouth, lightly fruity, some honey. The finish is gentle and medium length, quite sweet.

Very strange mix of milk chocolate, dull fruit and a rancid note. Sample is old but was not opened. On the palate way too sweet, vanilla and still alcohol sharp. Rumored to be a Foursquare, but I've never experienced it so bad and then worsened.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a rum in the cheaper end of the spectrum. Also a sweet rum, not to sweet and probably a very good starter rum. The nose comes off sweet from honey and molasses and descends into primarily vanilla with a hint of chocolate. The palate is sweet with some roasted banana, vanilla and cherry. There is a bit of creaminess to it. The finish is medium long and oily, sweet and vanilla dominates.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Pleasant to drink, typically sweetened beginner rum. Still very boring on the nose, it offers a bit more profile on the palate due to the sugar. Quite nice for in-between or as a companion to beer.
Review by Jarek
Too sweet, too weak.
Review by rum_sk
Revisiting after more than a year. Initial score 82 downgraded to 75. Overall still very pleasant rum eventhough its sweetened foursquare. Predominant is vanilla with milk chocolate, also a fudge or polish caramel candies called krowka in the taste and nose provides some hints of it too. Overall I think the people who seek sweet rums will love this one. I am a weirdo I like both sweet rums, but also the other side of spectrum such as ester rums such as hampden or monstrosities like paranubes. Revisiting: Direct comparison with 18 Solera from AM. This one is better, more flavourful, but also much sweeter. It does not feel artificial that much but lets say it is overly sweet so I am pulling few points down. Otherwise, really good one.
Review by Master P
A sweet rum, not too sweet, is on the edge. The nose is sweet with honey and molasses and primarily descends into vanilla with a hint of chocolate. The palate is sweet with some roasted banana, vanilla and cherry. The finish is medium-long and oily, sweet and vanilla dominates.
Review by heckto🥃
A mild beginner rum. Caramel, honey, vanilla on the nose. On the palate chocolate and banana. Not an explosion of flavor and little complexity but still a solid sweet with a decent price/performance ratio.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Nice rum for all beginners. Good value for money.
Review by Hans-Peter Jank
Pretty sweet, too flat
Review by Konstantin Precht
A very smooth and easy rum with a short finish. Not complex, quite sweet but good for beginners, caramel and vanilla on the palate
Review by lars
Not unpleasant but somewhat artificial and too sweet
Review by Jakob Deiner
Reminds me a bit of the Pusser's Blue Label, also Navy Style with dried fruits, plum, raisin, cocoa, chocolate, but quite sweet and with a honey note, if anything wood is far in the background. On the finish a certain sharpness, a bit alcoholic but without becoming unpleasant. Drinks: - Neat: 4/5
Review by Jan Sajbrt
Very gentle, round, gently sweet, good finish, no unpleasant edges, the taste lasts long.
Review by Radi
It's quite good, but not totally my taste.
