Licores San Miguel SA Ron San Miguel Solera 1952 Añejo
Sipped neat it splits people down the middle. The nose promises sweet coconut, vanilla and orange, but the palate turns woody, spicy and cinnamon-heavy with a noticeable alcohol bite that isn't always well tucked in. One taster nailed the aroma as "like a f##n yankee candle." A few find it tastes sweetened, with a sugary burn on the finish some really dislike.
The community says- Coconut-orange nose
- But: Harsh alcohol
- But: Sugary aftertaste

Aggregated from 78 community reviews.
Spicy, woody, cinnamon-heavy with an alcohol bite Middling verdict at best. The cinnamon-and-wood spice wins a few fans, but hot, poorly integrated alcohol and a sugary aftertaste leave many saying they wouldn't rebuy.

Review by Timo Groeger
Not the best rum. Quite sweet and very alcoholic. The taste lingers on the palate for quite a long time. You can taste a hint of chocolate, but otherwise it's almost all sweetness and alcohol. Doesn't get me.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Nezajímavá vanilkovo cukrová vůně se špetkou skořice. Chuťově taky nezajímavé. Sušené ovoce a v závěru trochu citrusová nota, po které se nakonec rozvine nepěkná cukrovo karamelová pachuť. Toto mi vůbec nesedí. Edit: dopití vzorku a korekce dolů
Review by Johannes
Spicy, some cinnamon, alcohol not so well integrated.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Smells and tastes very cinnamony, which I like, but at some point it could get on my nerves if I had a whole bottle. The wood is also quite dominant, already turning bitter. Not too sweet
Review by Heffernan
In der Nase anfangs recht alkoholisch und beißend, leichte Holznoten, beim zweiten Glas nicht mehr ganz so scharf, sogar ganz leichte fruchtige und würzige Noten erkennbar. Geschmacklich auch eine deutliche alkoholische Schärfe, die aber gerade so noch im angenehmen Rahmen liegt. Holznoten mit einer leichten Würze kommen durch. Insgesamt nur durchschnittlich, kein Muss, aber ich habe ihn recht günstig für umgerechnet ca. 20 Euro im Urlaub ergattern können und er erinnert mich an eine schöne Zeit. Mehr würde ich dafür aber ehrlich gesagt nicht ausgeben wollen.

The fruity aromas are more fleeting, wood and roasted aromas remain
Review by rum_sk
Interesting with sweet 👃 including coconut, orange, fruits, bit of spices, orange peel. 👅 includes a lot of spices, black pepper, cinnamon, again orange peel with bitter aftertaste that is medium long. Not bad as it is very interesting spicy and not overly sweet rum. One could guess it will be more sweet due to it's 👃 but it is rather woody, bitter and spicy with a bit of fruity sweetness. Add: Cardamom after a burp :P sort of A.H.Riise taste at the very distant end.
Review by Jo Hoo
Geruch geht Richtung Rosinen und ich meine ein bisschen Zimt zu riechen, Alkoholische Schärfe kurz vor unangenehm.
Review by Pascal Gwada
Après repos car trop d'esters initialement, le nez est très sympathique, frais et riche. Notes d'orange dominantes, de caramel , vanille. En bouche il est plus plat et mince, du sucré de mélasse, un peu vanille, une longueur très courte. Donc peu intéressant mais agréable. Au prix de 30€ c'est une belle bouteille intéressante au nez et facile à boire, alors oui pour faire plaisir aux non initiés.
Review by Vycas
Velvety smooth. Doubt I would buy it again though unless it was on sale or a recipe called for it.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.4 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. Coconut, pineapple and dried fruits fills the nose. A pleasant sweet aroma. Palate continues with the same as the nose with the same notes of coconut and pineapple with some wood from the barrels and with a little bite. Overall a nice rum for sipping!

Not quite there yet, but drinkable
Review by Rado Vito
The rum has a pleasant smell I couldn´t distinguish. It reminds me butter with nesquik and cinnamon. Very original. The taste is sweet with cinnamon, but boring and weak. There is definitely some sugar in it (not much).
Review by Robert Mallander

Whatever is used to sweeten this, is way too much. There is a sugary burn in the aftertaste I really dislike. The coconut is so intense, that I have doubts of it origins. Nobody should want this. I fyou want coconut there are far better options
