Review by Business Liner Ralf
Tasted again today, with direct comparison to the younger brother, the Malecon Imperial 18 years. The younger tastes lighter, less complex. I the rum class!
Review by Gregor
Nice drop, very suitable for beginners. And not too much sweetness.
Review by heckto🥃
Ein ausgewogener und komplexer Süßrum. fruchtig-nussig in der Nase, holzig-vanillig am Gaumen. Nicht so süß wie der Duft vermuten lässt, recht lang im Abgang. Ein wirklich guter karibischer Rum, klare Kaufempfehlung.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Very well-balanced rum. However, I don't notice any major differences to the younger vintages.
Review by ChristophFFM
Taste heavy, round, rather sweet, woody, fruity and balanced, with cocoa notes. Great nose and barely pungent alcohol. Multilayered but not too complex. Just delicious and not too sweet. I have the new bottle (2021) and it doesn't say anything about the "Cuban process" like on the old bottles. I hope the rum has not been changed.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4052 A pretty good rum when looking at the price tag. Fruity and sweet with nice spices and caramel. The empty glass is really nice and has stronger caramel and some coffee notes.
Review by N’ours
The Cuban rum character is evident. Smooth and round. Lovely notes of caramel, wood and spices on the nose that never let up. These notes are echoed on the palate, with smoothness and roundness. Not a lot of fruit, but a caramel side that pleasantly invades the palate. The finish is not very expressive, a simple continuity of the palate that fades rather quickly.
