Review by Konstantin Precht
Very well balanced, quite sweet but very smooth and a great daily sipper. The price is very fair and for beginners a great deal. On the palate some vanilla, a lot of raisins and sherry and a round and nicely balanced finish with caramel and sherry.
Review by tastingfieber
Beautiful and quite complex rum. The sugar substitute is still moderate and makes it extremely smooth. The PX sherry influence keeps it lively on the tongue and is really enjoyable.
Review by Stefan Persson
The base in this rum is a 5yo blend from Guyana and Barbados aged in the Caribbean. I’ve tasted this blend and clearly recognize Demerara. After that it’s aged for 3 Solera years in Spain in Dos Cortados Sherry (very dry) barrels. Thereafter it’s aged for 2 more Solera years in former PX Sherry (very sweet) barrels. Have also read that they add a little PX Sherry (unconfirmed). These two years and the eventual added flavors give it an significant sweet Sherry taste that I don’t appreciate.
Review by Old Pirate 🏴☠️🇨🇿
This specific 3 times aged (5+3+2) rum is something, that you must try. Yes, it's sweet, full of raisins and some cookies but it is complex, warm, tasty with little strong end. Mostly enjoyable in cold evenings after hard work with legs on table and good cigar :-)
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Retaste this one and it's a very mild well rounded rum that I think can be used for beginners as well. Draws very nice curtains and the empty glass is full of flavours.
Review by Bennet
Mild und interessant, komplex.
Review by DomM
Well… this is very sweet and strongly sherry forwards. I don’t get much character of the rum out of this release tbh. Nevertheless, the sherry influence is intense, but nicely executed. If you are in the mood for something sweet and sherry, this is better than some „highly estimed“ sherry (finished) single casks, where disappointment of an overwhelming sherry influence covering the underlying spirit is the dominating experience. Here you get what you‘d expect. Not more but also nothing less.
Review by DaErdi
Kommt holzig daher mit schönen Sherry-Noten. Kräftiger Geschmack, süss, Alkohol kommt aber auch durch, schön Ölig im Mundraum. Im Abgang schön süss und lange. Für mein Empfinden ein toller Rum.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,8:On the nose... quite a lot. There's fruit: fresh grapes, banana, peaches, candied prunes and nuts, followed by almonds after a while. The barrel is there too, offering well-balanced oak and tobacco notes. Overall, it offers an interestingly dry, gourmand impression. 7,2:On the palate, we find tobacco and walnut, with candied fruit also present but a little in the background. The whole is soft, but well-balanced with alcohol. 7,5:The finish is long. The aromas of tobacco, walnuts, prunes and oak, which we enjoyed earlier, are again present. Edit:28.9.25, a downgrade to 7,5.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
das geht besser... schmeckt halt fast nur noch nach Sherry, schwefligen Rosinen und trockenfeige. Der Grund Rum der genommen wurde bringt eine unschöne Schärfe mit, dazu mir einfach viel zu süß. Alkohol integration alles andere als gut leider trotz nur 40%.
Review by Gregor
At 40%, it is very intense. The sweetness is pleasant and not too intense. Unfortunately, the px cask masks the distillate's own flavor, if there is one. Price-performance ratio is super.
Review by Henry Davies
Nose is sweet and reminiscent of port or sherry which is a leading indicator of what is to come. The mouth is sweet and sickly, immediately too much and in to rum liquor territory. The main mouth notes are raisins and sugar with a medium finish with treacle and wine on the end of the mouth. Ultimately it is too sweet for me, it’s like a Madeira or Port with some rum elements and doesn’t quite come together in a package that I want to drink
Review by Patrik Onderka
Nothing extraordinary, this one was a little sharp then pleasantly sweet on palate, rather indistinct mix of scents on nose. I felt raisins and vanilla the most. I tasted this as a sample, but know the bottle, it’s very affordable and pleasant for the price. A good start for beginners.
Review by paulgi86
Very sweet rum - again feels like it’s an artificial sweetness to help round it off somehow…. Somewhat difficult to nose as well as nothing really comes to the nose bar alcoholic prickle and some wood notes but that prickle really fights back despite it being 40% ABV. Nose - tight/closed off (no real difference when adding drops of water), gentle spice, gentle wood, REALLY faint dried fruit but nothing else Palate - massively sweet, pronounced prunes, raisins, dates, almost laced with honeyed sugar and not a lot else. No oakiness, no spices and if there was it was an overriding sweetness that bombs the palate. Finish - short (thank god) This bottling almost reminds me of Planteray - that sickening sweetness that feels so unnatural and artificial and cloying…. I’ve had the pleasure of several PX cask spirits (rum and whisky) but none of them were this sickeningly sweet Quite poor for my palate I’m afraid!
Review by Oliver
Schöner Einstiegsrum. Alkohol aber recht ruppig integriert.

"For me too sweet and surprisingly alcoholic for the low ABV. In drinks quite good, pure not my case."
