Nice rum. Not as smooth as it's older brother (Ron Medellin Gran Reserva 12-Year) but still nice. Pleasant aroma. The flavor has an initial sweetness revealing vanilla and caramel tones. A decent burn which slowly fades back to the vanilla and caramel. Not quite a sipping rum but an excellent mixer.

I am beginning to really not like these plastic flow restrictors on Ron Medellin rums (and a few other rums I've sampled). Don't see the purpose. Any way to remove these stupid things without breaking the bottle? No? Pity.

Also the cap on this bottle doesn't screw down tight...you get it to a certain point and then it "pops" past. Not sure if it is a defect or designed that way. Had similar problems with some imported olive oils. The problem is if the bottle tilts or lays on its side, it leaks. I prefer a cork. Even an artificial one would be a marked improvement over the current ill-fitting plastic screwcap. Deducting a point for shoddy design.

Sitting in the park in Medellin drinking this fine rum out of plastic cups provided by the local liquor store was a treat. Nothing fancy just a fine sipping rum, the every day rum of Colombia. Can't go wrong.

La verdad me sorprendió, lo tomé combinado con Coca Cola y me gusto mucho. Lo volvería a comprar

Not inspiring me enough to write anything. It says "rum" on the bottle!

This rum is not the worst and not the best taste. I had a few Medellin rums, but they’re not the best rums.

The aromas aren’t special but then when you sip it’s fairly balanced, sweet only a little bit vanilla and caramel. Clean finish after one.
After some couple sips it’s very smooth

Nothing special. A fair rum with harsh aftertaste.

Vôňa vcelku ok, no chuť na mňa trochu viac alkoholová. Mám rád proste sladšie a jemnejšie chute.

Un ron bueno aunque no es muy delicado, prefiero los rones un poco más complejos pero esta bien.
Mejor con hielo

Not a bad rum. Spicy with a lot of tannins. The taste is watery.
It could be better, it's a little bit too harsh. I would prefer an older one.

Smell: caramel, dry fruits, vanilla, fesh fruits
Taste: bitterness, oak, caramel, spice, watery taste

Sweetness: 1.5/5
Fruit: 3.5/5
Spice: 3/5
Mildness: 2.5/5
