This Rum is fantastic! Aged for 25 years in bourbon barrels, it's packed with well-rounded spices and cane sugar. It's an easy choice for someone who enjoys spirits and dislikes overly syrupy sweetness often found in younger rums, offering instead a sugarcane and cinnamon sweetness that brings a warmth like the holidays. The palate and finish carry on with the same beautiful flavors, concluding with a rich and dense sensation.
Among the finest spirits I've ever encountered, possibly the absolute best. It offers perfect brown sugar notes complemented by deep oak and leather. This will undoubtedly convert any dedicated whisky enthusiast to the world of premium rums. The producers in Nicaragua have truly excelled.
An intensely aged, single estate rum from Nicaragua, with notes of vanilla, wood, and dark cocoa on the nose. The palate offers almond, fruit, and caramel, leading to a smooth and complex finish. From June 2017 / 2018.
This is an excellent beverage. It's a little dry, not excessively sweet, with undertones of chocolate, tobacco, spice, and wood. The finish was pleasing, well-balanced, and enduring. Ideal for special events.
It's less sweet than Diplomatico but not as rich in flavor. A bit of bitterness, cherry, cocoa. 3.5 for quality and sweetness. At $100 USD, I wouldn't purchase a bottle.
