Review by Heffernan
Nachdem ich mich jetzt durch einige Rums durchprobiert habe, ist der Ron Malteco 15 Jahre zu meinem aktuellen Liebling geworden. Ihn prägt eine leichte angenehme Süße, die nicht zu aufdringlich ist. Jedes mal wenn ich ihn trinke, entdecke ich eine neue Facette. Mal mehr nach Toffee oder Schoko, mal nach Karamell oder Vanille. Er hat eine angenehme Würze und ist relativ mild, nur eine leichte, aber angenehme Schärfe, die keinesfalls alkoholisch wirkt. Für meinen Geschmack eher weniger fruchtig. Aber das alles ist ja wie immer Geschmacksache. Für mich persönlich eine klare Empfehlung!
Review by heckto🥃
A great fruity rum. Smoky notes with caramel and vanilla. I like it slightly better than the 10-year-old, as it is even softer and smokier. Has a nice balance and complexity. absolutely recommendable👍

C'est pour l'instant mon Ron préféré. Un régal, à la fois doux et épicé. Il est vraiment à part, selon moi. Et son prix est vraiment top. En conclusion, je suis ravie de ce Ron d'exception 👌

Nicht besonders komplex aber extrem smooth und drinkable.
Review by Werner10
A nice sweet rum with woody profile and some spices. Also fruity, caramel a hint of smokyness and smooth. Nothing amazing but still enjoyable.
Review by Chris L.
Der Malteco hat eine röstig rauchige Note und ist meines Erachtens gut für Einsteiger als auch fortgeschrittene Rumliebhaber. Ich schmecke eine feine Note Frucht sowohl im Geschmack als auch im Abgang sowie frischen Tabak. Alles in allem ein guter Rum

Review by Business Liner Ralf
The winner of the tasting evening, pleasing, round, not spicy, sweet....
Review by Old Pirate 🏴☠️🇨🇿
15 years old is more heavier version of 10 and 5 more years giving this rum more complex, floral and little less vanilla flavour which caused more enjoyable taste. For it's price it's really good rum, but be avare, that this one is still with strong vanilla taste and smell.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Schöner Rum für alle Einsteiger. Gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis.
Review by Scotty1960
Rosinen mit Vanille, leichte Frucht mit heller Schokolade.Im Geschmack bei mittleren Abgang Pflaume und Karamell
Review by Patrik Onderka
I enjoyed this Malteco, a little more intense than the 10 years with a decent profile, overly pleasant and tasty. Can be used for good sipping at a reasonable price. Still too sweet for me, but it's Spanish rum.
Review by Kay Meertens
Orange, raisin, vanilla and apple.
Review by Rumpalumpa
nice rum. compared to tbe 10yo, the distinct smoky panama flavor is much less prominent here, which is disappointing. on the other hand its a little smoother and fruitier. I still prefer the 10yo,especially as its also cheaper
