8/10

Sehr edel, warm, dezent getrocknete Früchte. Sehr fein.

Fragrant of dried coconut candy (which we complement with all serving rums) and dried raisins with a hint of cinnamon.
Taste of fresh sugar cane juice and tangy-ness of unripe peach, buttery, toffee and slightly peppery.
Medium finishing with buttery and nutty cashew nuts lingering towards to end.

Starts with lots of caramel and vanilla… my kind of rum.

I gave it a 7 because for me it has a flat finish. You expect more from a 15yr old rum.

This is a strange one - I get clear notes of Calvados from this! Do not get me wrong - it is good, but--- apple. Mixed in that vanilla and brown sugar notes. Odd.

I've always liked the 3 yo HC and it's typical flavor profile. Comparing it directly to the SDM and the tributo 2021, the tributo was better - more refined, balanced etc. - the SDM's flavor profile is similar to that of tributo at less that an 10th of the price. This 15 yo is also nice but with very different flavors compared to the other two at 140 euros. So, SDM is definitely my winner.

Vůně jsou nevýrázné, možná vanilka a rozinky
sladký rum, ale ne moc.
V chuti je dřevo

Here, things started getting interesting. I got this on a special occasion, as a gift to myself. My very first experience with aged rums. Noticable oak, satisfying bite, rich taste, long aftertaste and depth. Quite adorable. Truth is, it still could do much better. Overpriced, in my books.

Quite a spicy rum with an extremely long finish. I got butterscotch and a slightly oaky flavors. There was a hint of sweetness, maybe could have used more. Not an overly complex rum - for 15 years I was looking for a few more subtleties.

Compared to the price this is a dissapointment. Great bottle but whats in it is pretty overated. I know rum that is better for 1/3 of the price
