Any rating lower than a 9 for this rum is nonsense! It's a godsend...and King of the Agricoles!

Oak, vanilla, and caramel are the dominant flavors with hints of brown sugar, molasses and maple syrup. The nose is almost candy-like. It finishes like silk, smooth and luxurious with no bite at all and with a pleasant tobacco note. This is not a hot or spicy rum and despite its 23 years in a barrel the conspicuous tobacco note is not burnt or foul tasting, more like a very well maintained high quality cigar. It has a deep cherry wood color and a thick, rich body that sticks to the glass. This rum needs to breathe a bit before drinking, I say at least a half hour. The next day I chilled it in my freezer and it was amazing, more candy like.

This is a sipping rum and I know its not the smartest thing to do with a rum such as this but if you add it to Coke you'll have Vanilla Coke with a kick! I'll be buying this rum again next week... I'm glad to have taken this one off my wish list. For $42 a bottle this rum is actually under priced!

Edit: I've always said the best way to really get into a rum and discover its character is to get hammered off of it! I did that this weekend. I woke up and there was that beautiful tobacco note lingering in my nose and the taste of vanilla beans in my mouth. Then, three hours and two Gatorades later I got out of bed. Yes, this is a very fine rum...but it delivers a crippling hangover! Play with caution.

This Rum is a easy pour. Done shots and had it over ice. Both were excellent. Only down fall it's hard to find in my area.

A nice rum, but did not have the finish or complexity that I was expecting. For those who like a nice bottle, this one has it! :)

This is a good rhum to enjoy. The main aroma is vanilla and the balance of sweet is good

I'll leave the palette descriptions to more refined individuals, I know what I like when I taste it. KS23 is pretty darn tasty, especially in it's price range. There are better and certainly a lot worse. My bar is rarely without a bottle..

Tasted at Laka Lono on 1/19/20. Brownish amber in appearance with a strong and complex aroma of molasses and hazelnuts. Medium body but a high heat velvety richness of caramel and toasted grains. Really nice.

It can be a mission to find the right adjective to describe this rum, but perhaps these two words do the justice; fully and rich. Fully because the minute I opened this bottle its aroma flooded the room. This triggered my rum drinker instinct prepping me for the challenge. I can say that what you sense is what you experience in its taste. This rum is deliciously rich in flavour.

First, I would like to underline this is a quality rum. You cannot mispick this, it is absolutely good.
But... From this on this depends on yoir taste. I do not like this taste, this is why the score 7. The taste is strong, catches your throat, tongue and does not let it for a minute at least. Which is not a problem if you like this.
What I taste is medium-low sweetness, strong oak and overwhelming flawours in you nose with some smokey taste.
If you like dring grabbing you by your neck try it - otherwise let it go :)

Delicioso ron agrícola, de mis favoritos. Multitud de matices, dulce pero sin exceso.

A neat aroma, a bit of bite and taste of vanilla. A good sipping rum
