By taste you can already tell this has experienced a longer aging than the average rum.
It has resulted in a more smooth experience through every sip,that never ceases to amaze me.

A bit too subtitle, but pretty much delicious. Strong vanilla with some exotic fruits. One of the best out of not expensive rums. Thanks Matusalem!
Nice rim with craft ice. Mellows out fast but quite enjoyable. Don’t wait too long as it weakens fast.

I had a couple of spanish style soleras before and this one fits in quite good. Very drinkable for beginners and for everybody else. Good midrange rum.

Tohle pro mě bylo zklamání .Silně nadhodnocený. Chuť je moc řídká, alkoholová.

Denna var tyvärr en besvikelse för mina smaklökar. Alldeles för tunn i smaken och med alldeles för mycket spritsmak. Helt ok eftersmak men alldeles för lite sötma.

This the one of the best ratio price/quality rums I ever drink.

Was at an all-inclusive resort and this caught my eye. Needless to say, i finished the bottle and made sure to grab one before coming back to the states. Very solid for the price (I paid about 35$).

Výborný rum na pohodové chvíle s přáteli. Vůně po vanilce a maslovém karamelu, se špetkou dubu a rašeliny. V pozadí jsou cítit sušené meruňky. Chuťově dost podobný rumu Abuelo Gran Reserva 12, ale není tak nakyslý. Dobré pití za dobrou cenu.

Big disappointing just because i had big expectations but its still a good one , little bit overpriced.
It's a seven but at that price it deserves a 6.

Its uneventful for 15 years.
15 year rum should be a smooth sipper at this age, but its not. Very harsh upfront burn which shouldn't be existent in this age of a rum. So I highly recommend drinking it with cola (I prefer diet coke). Even in coke its only So-So the last guy said "thin" and I think that is an amazing description. Some rums are bold and have distinctive flavors.Which makes sense because even sniffing the rum from the bottle you dont get any distinct smell besides some alcohol. This is similar to appleton estate v/x rum with a different cask taste. So the choice is yours go appleton estate v/x which is 17$ a fifth or this which is around 40$ a fifth with limited availability.
Cliff Notes
-Harsh upfront burn (not a great sipper)
-No real bold flavor
-Sweet Finish
-No smell from bottle (which translates into the no flavour)
-Similar to appleton estate v/x (I think appleton estate is better however)
