Nothing special, as this is a 15yo reserva. Pale color, average nose, but for it's price about 25 EUR is not so bad 55%

Hmmm... it's a cognac, a good one, so the rating is irrelevant

I have consumed couble of bottles, but it is not great or remarkable. I am not likely to buy more, because of rum scandal issue and personal incompatility with the taste.

It’s ok but not worth the cost. Steer towards the 10 year if you can find it.

It’s not superb sweet. It’s not full of junk. It’s just a smooth rum that you can drink on the rocks or pair with cola, gingerale, soda water etc.
It’s good with almost anything. I appreciate this rum because you can enjoy it several different ways.

This is a dark rum with vanilla and oak flavor, and it is important in the history of the rums to drink straight, you need to have this one on your collection.

Vandaag 2 rums op de tafel, voor bij de spelletjes met vriendjes J en M, zij hebben Pacto Navio mee. Die ruikt wat sterker, deze zoeter (fruitig? karamel?): ze blijken allebei lekker te smaken en mogen allebei in de herhaling.

It is my first rum. It open a new great world in my taste. It tastes sweet with vanilla notes.

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)
