Fans of very sweet, creamy rums or high-ABV flavor bombs; anyone looking for deep complexity or a thick mouthfeel will likely find this too dry and light.

Edit: nochmal auf der Village'25 probiert für 30€ ein guter Mixer Kurz bei Serge mittags beim Sampletausch probiert. Eine postive Überraschung was man hier für das Geld geboten bekommt. Für das er keine Dosage zusätzlich bekommen hat relativ süß. Als Sipper für zwischendurch durchaus zu empfehlen.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Klebstoff, Lack, Schokolade, Rosine und etwas Banane in der Nase. Speziell Klebstoff und Lack tun sich hervor. Dahinter subtiler auch Nuss und kräftiges Holz. Über allem liegt aber intensiver, dunkler Sherry. Am Gaumen dann vergleichsweise trocken, aber enorm intensiv im Sherry. Würzig, mit Schokolade und Keks (in nicht süß). Hier wird der Wein dann alkoholischer, der Rest bleibt leider relativ dünn und blass. Was wirklich schade ist, denn hier wäre sehr viel Luft nach oben. Etwas Süßung hätte meines Erachtens nach durchaus gepasst.

Had a Bellamy's Reserve tasting yesterday and it was kind of a disappointment to say the least. Here's the last of the six. The glue and varnish is very dominant in the nose but fortunately it's not on the palate. There is no doubt that this one was finished in Pedro Ximenes casks because the sherry shines brightly in this one :-) OK balanced rum and the price is also OK.
Review by Serge
Also ich muss sagen, dass das PX finish hier erstens nicht so süß ist (schmeckt wirklich nach einem trockenen Fass und die Sherry-Noten sind angenehm) und dass das Finish diesen (ja doch eher etwas langweiligen) El Salvador doch durchaus aufwertet. Sherry, Schokolade, Trockenfrüchte, Kakao, Rosine, Butterkeks, karamellisierter Zucker, Fass. Mir ist er allerdings etwas zu dünn. Aber durchaus pur trink ar und mixt sich auch ganz geil.
Review by Jonas
Foursquare Light. Vollkommen ok, und als Einsteiger sicherlich besser angelegte Euro als bei dem üblichen Solera-Mega-Premium-Ultra-150-Años-Kram.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Verhältnismäßig trocken für ein PX Sherry Finish... super plv ! Haselnuss, Schokolade und Rosinen sowohl an der Nase als auch im Geschmack, aromatisch nicht ultra komplex aber durchaus rund und ein schöner Einstiegs Rum ohne Zucker.

Würzig sherry eher leicht
Review by Oliver
Nase ganz ok, aber am Gaumen leider viel zu schnell weg.
