Origenes Don Pancho Reserva Especial 18-Year

Nice Rum, but a Little top much Alkohol for my Sense.

Quite good but no strong tastes or spectacular flavours, some hint of tea.

..................................................

Light sipping rum. Not overly sweet. Light amber color.

20ml uit een advent kalender. Typische Spaanse stijl. Hoestsiroop. Meh.

Don Pancho is a legend in the rum business, so a rum with his name on it gives me very high expectations. It doesn´t hit a 10/10, but it is still a pretty damn good blend.

Nose: Sweet tea, honey and figs
Taste: So much going on. Hits of honey, dried fruits, spices and a hint of bourbon. Aftertaste is very smooth with a dominant vanilla feel mixed with dried spices
Overall: The aftertaste is a little to bland for me, but apart from that this is a really nice rum blend that you should try if you can get your hands on it.

I like the armor. A hint of vanilla and oak, it finishes like a bourbon, It would go great with a mild cigar

Nice lacing on the glass. Smell is mildly sweet and alcohol. The taste is not too sweet, but not too hot like whiskey. Very easy to sip on ice. A little bit of vanilla, a little bit of smoke. Very well balanced. I'll keep a bottle around for an occasional drink. Goes well with a mild cigar.

Sweet and smooth aromas of fruit, caramel, vanilla and a bit of oak. A very pleasant aroma.

In mouth you get some bite from the alcohol and sweet flavours of fruit and dark chocolate. You also get some oak and spice. This rum is sweet but not to sweet.

The finish is a bit harsh and quite long with sweetness and oak. A little bit too much oak and spice for my taste but still a very good rum.
