Review by Vincent D
Not very different from the XV tasted previously. A woody ron with controlled (if overly present) sugar. No depth, no complexity, no length. Not unpleasant, but not for me.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Classically good rum. Here you do nothing wrong.
Review by Martin Švojgr
Čekal jsem slaďárnu jakobu Legendário, ale opak ke pravdou. Ve vůni sladší, nežli v chuti. Převládá koření, vanilka, dřevo, karamel, sušené ovoce, rozinky a pepř. Barva je určité dobarvovaná, jinak si tu temnou barvu nedokáži vysvětlit. Po otevření lahve jsem musel nechat ve skleničce vyvětrat, bylo to na první napití velmi štiplavé.
Review by Daniel
On the nose restrained but mainly wood in the foreground. In addition, caramel and marzipan notes.In the taste after initial wood notes quickly peppery. Powerful, but also one-dimensional. Inexpensive, sweetened alternative to Mount Gay, although this is clearly better.
Review by David J M
Oaky and quite harsh finish

Simple but good rum without frills
Review by FaoRouge
War vor ein paar Jahren angenehmer und brachte mich damals zum neat sippen. Jetzt Mittelmaß und dafür zu teuer. Flasche wird noch geleert, mehr aber auch nicht.
