Review by Kieron Wood
This is an incredible rum for its age , it's helped by the dialled up percentage 52% and honestly the best expression I have ever tasted from the sacred island of Cuba. It starts with the typical dryness of a Cuban rum that's been in oak barrels and vanilla on the pallette.the finish is silky and long delicious ...

This weekend was very busy because I've been building a new shelf system for my 250+ bottles so my Saturday and Sunday tastings haven't been added :-) I love Cuban rum because it goes well with Cuban cigars. This one has a long velvety finish.
Review by N’ours
A fine success, but as with the 50°, the finish is dry, which is a pity. You can smell the new casks. Otherwise, a fine balance of wood, spices, caramel and fruit.
Review by Richard Krupa
A bunch of different tropical fruits
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Solid Cuban but not a revelation either. The alcohol could also be better integrated. Still quite tasty and somehow reminiscent of strong rye/bourbon whiskey.
