Review by ChristophFFM
I write the comment only because I can not understand the bad reviews. Because the quality at this price is really impressive. First of all, alcohol is very well integrated here. Cocoa and caramel are the main characters here. In the supporting roles, coffee and tropical fruits. Unlike continental South Americans, this one is not too sweet. The pleasant sweetness pairs with a tart note, especially on the attack (cocoa and coffee). There seems to be very little sugar added here, which is really surprising given its prevalence and popularity. For Spanish style, this one is very good and the PLV is outstanding. Was able to purchase 1L for 20 euros and sometimes I like to take this as a sipper. But also very refreshing with ginger ale and lime
Review by LukaŽiga
6,5:The nose is both sweet and rather imposing. It's a light rum in terms of aroma, but not in terms of power. The sugar softens a rather dry, peppery woodiness, along with a few notes of fermentation that seem to have come back from afar even light smokiness/tobacco. Aeration brings out sweet fruits, coffee that melt into a grenadine syrup that is nonetheless rather powerful and floral. 6:The palate is quite round and simple, with caramel and vanilla. The alcohol warms the taste buds and awakens a dark coffee. 6:The finish is rather sweet, short, but tickled by hints of pepper and slightly metallic alcohol..
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
Price quality wise, this is a really good rum. I Lways have a bottle in my cabinet due to various reasons; for the less picky guest, pre drinking for a party or when I'm not picky myself. Of course there are better rums to be found for this price, but why making it yourself difficult if you just fancy a pleasant glass of rum and this bottle is widely available?
Review by cigares
Fairly light color, caramel and vanilla on the nose, with a pleasant hint of orange. The palate is more woody than the nose, with a dilution and lack of amplitude that take away points. The finish is fairly short, but a note of bitter caramel lingers long enough. A rum that should be very pleasant for mixology.

This is an aquired taste, but I love this one now! If you enjoy whiskey this is a great introduction to rum
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Though this rum could be a sipper we mostly use it for mixers in which it performs pretty well.
Review by Mark Leggett
Got to try this in the Cayman Islands. Very good
Review by Rumpalumpa
surprisingly fruity and also a little sweet, didn't expect that. didn't think of this as a sipping rum, but it's actually pretty good! Very nice in a Rum and Coke. I think the price is ok, but not outstanding.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Pur und auf Eis mild, Geschmack mMn. gut passend zu Zigarre / Rauchen / (Zigarren-Liquid) Vapen. Seit > 10 Jahren mein Standard für Cuba Libre / Rum Cola (Zero) und bleibt es wohl auch nachdem ich zuletzt sehr viele Alternativen probiert habe. Ebenfalls gut als Rum Mule / Ginger Beer. Drinks: - Pur: 4/5 - Rum Fashioned: 3.5/5 - Cola: 5/5 - Ginger Beer: 4/5
Review by zabo
Edit: A good rum for mixing in terms of price/performance ratio. In my opinion, it can also be drunk neat because it doesn't taste so overly artificial. A good starter rum for complete newcomers to provide a gentle introduction to the world of rum. For me, it's one of my favorites in the CubaLibre. I find it just so good straight.
Review by Chrischi78
Solid mixing rum. It is particularly suitable for beginners or as an ingredient for high-quality cocktails. However, experienced connoisseurs may find it lacking in depth and complexity. A reliable classic that does not disappoint, but also offers nothing exciting.
Review by Patrik Onderka
Just tried this one, because I didn’t taste this one yet. Well, it was exactly what I expected. One of those rums you very quickly forget. Nothing worth mentioning here, but likely an ideal choice for cocktails.
Review by kudzey
Quite alcoholic. Low intensity. Decent, aging-foreward palate.
Review by Oscar Fernandez
This is a perfect Rum both to mix it without feeling guilty that you are wasting it, and to drink it alone and it is an acceptable experience. I would say it is a Rum that is always good to have, sweet and pleasant. Salu! 🥃
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
Compared to the Havana Especial the nose has a little fruit in the background. Not much, but it's there. Lots more wood though and a note of tobacco. The palette is very woody. Lots of tannins and tobacco too. But there's some caramel to help balance it out. The finish keeps the tannins and tobacco from the palette but there's also some dark chocolate. Overall I prefer this to the Especial because it's a bit more interesting. Though it's not by much and it's not something I would buy again. Just too woody.
