Review by WiltChamberlain
I usually don't really like these sugared Spanish-style rums and I even doubt that the age statements of the Malteco rum-line can be trusted but the 'vintages' from them are very, very tasty and I like them a lot. Update: Now too thin for me, good daily sipper though.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Almost no Guyana taste, but huge amount of sugar/molases
Review by Liviu Trifoi
It is smooth but way way to sweet. Caramel and dried fruits dominate.
