The look inside the bottle

How does Ron Añejo 1852 Aniversario taste?

Summarized by AI from 17 community reviews.

Mild, sweet-woody everyday sipper Solid, easy-going rum with gentle sweetness, vanilla and wood. Considered drinkable and smooth, though many find it straightforward rather than exciting.

Perfect for

Those who enjoy smooth, slightly sweet rums with vanilla and wood, looking for an unfussy daily sipper or an easy mixer around 40% ABV.

Less suitable for

6,7:On the nose, immediate reaction?Sugar. To me it actually shows up in the nose and the sweetness dominates such, then leather, buttery, coffee and some orange and there was notable (and excessive) vanilla presence. 7:The palate was consistent. The rum was heavy and thick in the glass when swirled. Very full SMOOTH body on entry with a massive, mouthcoating honey, tropical fruit, oak, caramel, toffee and a bit of leather astringency late, even some iodine, a nice hot 'n sweet lip-coating clove. 6:The finish is rather short with some pepper. Iodine usually means age under 10. So 12 y mark.

6.4/10

Again, a very digestible rum which has a slightly woody smell. The taste is also very woody. On the whole, you can drink this rum quite well. Nothing special but really okay.

A woody, slightly sweet aroma, somewhat spicy. The taste is also spicy, somewhat fruity and only slightly sweet, with a woody finish. A good dry rum.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

It's not my usual style of rum but it is one that is definitely near the top of its particular class. Prior to reviewing this rum I hadn't tried it in quite a while. I now remember why I only had a round a quarter of the bottle left!
