Malecon 12-Year

First for the price this is a lovely rum neat or my fav way is 1 coconut water ice cube. For this review it’s neat with a drop or 2 of water.
The nose is ok, I get dried fruit, maybe apple and caramel. Slight grassyness but not off putting. Tastes amazing, it has odd background taste that reminds me of whisky. Like Smokey sweetness or oak and lasts and lasts. Other flavours I get are butterscotch and vanilla. It’s smooth and delicious. Want to try some of their older stuff.

Beautiful nose and balanced taste. Nice smell of orange and dried herbs. Mineral in mouth, even slightly sour which shows that the fermentation was well done and not hidden by excessive sweetness. A really nice rough rum.

Příjemný rum za rozumnou cenu. Jemný, dobře se pije.

The aroma of oak is most present at the first smell . Secondly , there are notes of caramel and a little vanilla . The taste in the mouth is hard on the oak. The aftertaste is not very long but sweet. This rum needs plenty of oxygen before developing its aromas. Not perfect, should be good on the rocks or with cola. Need to test Selecion esplendida 1979,1982,1895 or the 25th year.

Cuban rums are special (in my experience) for their thick, smoky feeling, when you nose the rum. Also there is a lot of spicy tones, intense aromas, toffee maybe. The rum itself is amber-colored, it has a bitter taste in the mouth, I felt toffee inside and then it was not so smooth in the throat.

Still one of the "worth the price" Cuban rum for me - good for a party sipping/drinking or coctails.

Sweet easy to drink rum with some pleasant unrecognizable spices in the taste

Was okay but not great. Taste lasts long pak taste

Again a new discovery! I had a great time drinking this Malecon 12y.
Not too alcoholic, very sweet and not too complex. The after taste is also little bit too short. Very easy ( maybe a little bit too much ) to drink.

Has a quite nice taste and fruity aroma. Recommandable to most
