Tää rommi on kyllä ehdottomasti parasta luokkaa. Kova kisa esim. Plantation XOn kanssa.

Let me tell you this an ace in the hole cocktail ingredient for me. . I've used it in several recipes over the years in amounts as much 2 oz to .5 oz in a between the sheets riff. BUT that high sugar component is a turn off when straight sipping and not always agreeable. Flavor wise you get a super maple syrup vibe to it that hits you over the head. Oh if it were a little more balanced like it's older aged statements. I heard that its coffey still can be smelled from a mile away.

Bon rapport qualité prix. Un rhum de cette âge pour le prix, wow! Un goût de vanille et très épicé. Très boisé. Couleur très foncé j aime bien.

Dejlig blød og rund smag. Dejlig eftersmag. Rigtig god til prisen

This was one of the first aged rums I tried. It was very sweet to me at first, but after a few nights of giving it a try, it really grew on me. By the end of the bottle I came to love this rum. Strong vanilla aroma, smooth all the way through the sweet finish.

For this price you can't get a better rum although the step up to the 15 is well worth the extra few quid. Rich molasses and smoothness of a typical el dorado. This has minimal burn, flavor isn't overly complex but holds its own against more expensive rums. This was the first bottle of "proper" sipping rum I tried so might be a touch of nostalgia in this review

By far one of the best rums out therefor the money. Lots of flavours and enjoyable mixed with anything! Has a lot of the flavours of the more aged El Dorado rums at a much better price.

Very full body and sweet as hell, sort of reminds me of a decent scotch thanks to the barrel, aging procedure, and the general technique behind this beauty. This is something that stands independent in its glass neat and tidy, especially if you're kicking back and enjoying a fine Dominican cigar.
