A refined and elegant rum, inspired by true character. After 12 years of aging in selected barrels, it boasts luxurious and exceptional. Its well-rounded flavours are only achieved by time and artistry. Drink it by itself, paired with dark chocolate or along with mature tobacco cigars. Character behind every sip.

Aroma soft with some caramel and alcohol and detected wood scent. Taste was not overwhelming with sweetness for me. Definitely caramel, some spice and slight wood taste. Aftertaste is short. I want to really like this rum but there is nothing that stands out. It is a good rum and that is all. But for the same price point as Cana Fuerte 16, Kaniche, el pasador de oro, plantation xo, ???? Maybe that is it. This is a fine rum but for the $25 price range not $45

This is a perfect, ideally balanced classic rum. I caught myself thinking that they deliberately lowered the strength to 37.5 in order to balance the aftertaste of 12 years of aging. And they did it brilliantly. Definitely will recommend it and buy again!

Tasted at Laka Lono on 7/25/19. A black pour. Faint aroma of chestnuts. Mild tingling palate. Rich earthy flavor. The aging process definitely improved this. I'm a fan.
Whiskey smell and peaty flavour, mellows into vanilla and dates.
It's exactly what we say "value for money"! Really nice and smooth rum that can compete any other rum in this price!
Not too sweet but not dry also, with notes of caramel and full mouth!
I'll definitely buy this one again!!
Drank with ice, not that strong, lots of flavour, very good for after dinner
Itโs a solid, well rounded rum. You can go wrong drinking this one neat, on the rocks or mixing it. This should be a staple rum in your liquor cabinet.

Very smooth, easy sipper. Just falls flat on flavor, just lacks character to me.

Tried alongside the 7 year and this was not my favourite. It is definitely smoother than its younger sibling, but lacks character. It also has a strange bitterness from the ageing that tastes a little like burnt caramel. Disappointing, but not awful.

Great aroma, taste, and minimal burn on the finish. For the price itโs one that Iโll be keeping on my shelf.

Knowing Spanish-style rums are notorious for added sugar, I wasn't expecting much. The nose is extremely molasses forward which was confirming my worst fears. Upon tasting however, I was mildly surprised it wasn't a complete sugar-bomb like Diplomatico Reserva Exculsiva. It came across the palate a bit drier than anticipated, but that was a pretty low bar. There's a hint of smokiness and very little burn. It's not offensive, but there isn't a whole lot of complexity either.
