Ron Espero XO Extra Añejo
Sipped neat or over ice on a warm evening, this drinks soft, creamy and honey-sweet, with vanilla, caramel and a "nice sweet chocolate finish" a few tasters called out. Most agree it's a gentle sweet-rum with an oily body. The recurring complaint: it tips into too-sweet fast, and one reviewer just found it plain and unremarkable.
The community says- Creamy oily body
- But: Too sweet
- But: Unremarkable

Aggregated from 47 community reviews.
Soft, honey-sweet dessert sipper A mild, honey-and-vanilla sweet-rum most call pleasant but too sweet. Nice creamy body and chocolate finish; several found it forgettable, and one couldn't get past the sugar.

Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Tastes of honey and vanilla, a medium pleasant sweetness. But already too sweet... Therefore only 6 points.
Review by heckto🥃
Riecht nach Honig, Vanille und Karamell. Am Gaumen sehr mild und süß. Der Abgang ist mittellang und hinterlässt eine angenehme Schokoladen-Note. Alles in Allem ein guter Süßrum zu einem ordentlichen Preis.

Review by Montana
Ein ziemlich süßer Geruch, Anklänge von Honig, später etwas Alkohol und Vanille. Der Geschmack ist ebenfalls ziemlich süß, Honig und Zucker, der Körper ist cremig und ölig.
Review by Sven Erbe
Überraschend unspektakulär. In der Nase leichte süße und nicht greifbare Florale Noten. Am Gaumen wird es erstmal alkoholisch, dann kommen süße karamelnoten, was auch hintenraus bleibt. Alkoholnote, süße und leichte Florale Noten...
