El Ron Prohibido Gran Reserva 15-Year

It was a Xmas present and I do like the taste. Its a warm rum with coffee, caramel and a little tobacco notes.

Got 2 bottles: El Prohibito 15yo and Blackwell light

ЕlP15 - Highest in melanin ). Easy on nose, easy on palate, medium long aftertaste. Watery. Not spicy nor salty at all, if has added sugar then it's less than 10g\L.
Core of taste is dates and fruits, nuts notes, no barrel touches. Just positive impressions. Drives onto good mood.

BW - still pretty dark, why called light? Impressions are absolutely similar to ElP15, the same water, sugar level and "structure". Just a bit more funky.

Both are just Ok - score 7.5+

What is this? A rum? Really?
Nose of full sweetness, but then: coffee? Salty toffee, light spicy bitterness. Ripe fruits. Thrilling combination.
Palate: vanilla, coffee, light leather, oak and sweetness.
Long finish with pepper, spices, coffee and fruity vanilla.
Very interesting rum, never had one like this before.

В аромате - карамель и лёгкие нотки ванили и чего-то фруктово-травянистого (гвоздика?), спиртуозность низкая. Во вкусе доминирует как будто сливочная карамель, спиртовое жжение присутствует, но быстро сходит на нет, уступая место послевкусию - опять же карамели с травами. Сочетание сладости жжёного сахара с пряными травами и небольшой спиртуозностью даёт интересный эффект - ром сладкий, но не приторный, мягкий, но с характером - каким настоящий ром, в моём понимании, и должен быть.

Aroma: caramel as the main element, some notes of vanilla and smth fruitty and herby (carnation?), spirit harshness is low. Taste is dominated by butterscotch-like caramel, spirit is present as well, but it disappears quickly and yields to the aftertaste - again caramel with herbs. This combination of burnt sugar with herbs and some spirit harshness gives an interesting effect - the rum is sweet, but not too sugary, smooth, but has a strong character - for me thats what a real rum should be.

Quite nice taste not too sweat, tastes a bit like wood

The ratings are quite harsh on this one because this rhum is all about generosity.
Strong chocolate, pastry smells and flavours topped with roasted cocoa and coffee notes. This is like smelling and eating a pastry without the sugary taste.
For those who like a rich and generous rhum I would definitely recommend.

Excellent rhum mais à peine meilleur que la version en 12 ans d'âge. Un peu déçu sur ce point.

Hier hou ik van , lekker zoet met nuances van honing, gedroogde vruchten.
Met aroma's van koffie likeur, aanhouden en terugkerend, voor een goede prijs.
zeker een Rum die aanslaat bij het vrouwelijk publiek.
Mooie fles met een prachtige houten gevangenis kist TOP,
En een prachtig verhaal , krijg je er zo maar bij. ;-)

Tengo que reconocer que me ha gustado...la suavidad con que entra el sabor que daba y el golpe de los 40 grados, cómo dice la etiqueta los barriles de cómo dulce se notan , seguro que compraré el de doce y la verdad por 19'95€ pues hay que disfrutar antes que el desastre nacional me alcance

In the bottle purchased in San Antonio for $32. Tasted on 4-1-24. Pours a dark brown color. Aroma of total Pedro Ximenez sherry- plums raisins dates figs. Big chocolate and tobacco flavors. Fantastic fruity finish. I think this is delicious.
