Plum and caramel up front, with a smoky, woody edge and a fruit-schnapps note running through it. At 28 years and 45%, it drinks soft and oily — one member said it "runs down like oil" and felt almost Christmassy. Sweet but not artificial. Several tasters liked it without being wowed; a few felt the younger Davidsen bottlings gave them more for the money.

Very pleasant. Goes down like oil. Almost a bit Christmassy. One of the best rums I've tried so far!!!!!!!!

I stumbled upon the Davidsen 15 by chance, I think it was in a tasting set. I liked it with its smell and taste towards chocolate and even for a very moderate price. Now I treated myself to the Davidsen 28 because I wanted to try another rum from the series. Higher price brings higher expectations and honestly, they are not really met. A good rum with smell and taste of plum and caramel. Something smoky and woody mixes in. It is sweet but not artificial. So a good rum but I liked the 15 better and it is also cheaper.
Review by Richard Krupa
Lots of different fruity flavors and honey, slightly smoky
Review by Michal Zvolenský
The oldest rum from Davidsen that I have. It's an old rum where you feel the woodiness, rounded. For special moments.
Review by Armin Tamzarian
Smells smoky, not too sharp with a fruity note.

Has something special.

Different, but not better than the 25 year old.
