I did read a lot about it and was probobly expect to much. But it is okay Rum, but not to the price60 Euros! There is some strange aftertaste!

Not as sweet as most of the other rums ive tasted, but perfect for cold rainy days.

Ganska spetsig smak, mycket ek kanske lite som sagt grappa, inte för spritig utan väl avvägd, lite för lite sötma för att få ett toppbetyg av mig

The bottle I had is labelled “20 Blended Solera” and not “20 años”. I’m guessing it’s the same rum, just labelled differently due to different regulations, or maybe changed as a result of the recent class actions against solera rum producers.

Smells very strongly of sherry or maybe sweet Madeira with a bit of vanilla, tastes like pure oak tea. I don’t get any of the complexity mentioned in other reviews; just an excess of harsh oak tannins.

Not too much burn (might be sugar, might be the tremendous quality of dissolved hemicellulose) and the taste does linger, but it’s the same harsh oak tannins.

From other reviews I was expecting something special; multilayered and complex, but it really isn’t.

I’m not mad, just disappointed.

A very nice drink, on the higher price range here which would lead me towards other options in that range, as a solera I think the Zacapa Centenario is ever so slightly better

This Rum is a must try and the most complex smokey and subtle rums that I've tasted. By far my favourite rum so far.

As my other non pro reviews. This again steps it up from the 15yr. This is very smooth and much more complex. More oak, dark chocolate, smoke, maybe a slight flavour of mezcal? Overall this is a beautiful rum from Mexico. It reminds me alot of Cihuatán Xaman XO but I feel this has more to offer. It truly is a beautiful rum and punching above its price. I can see why some may find it a little funky or strange. But if you have tried rums like Clairin Le Rocher, this is no where near as funky. You'll understand how special this rum truly is. Magnifeicent! Overall my new favourite rum

Smoky, not too sweet, plenty of rich flavours. A longer finish and I'd give a 9. Really good introduction for me to Mexican rum.
