Companero Gran Reserva

Nothing extra. Taste of wood, tobacco, banana, fruits. I expected much more from 15Y.

Never buy it if your are in the shopping madness !

Poměrně surový rum na avizovaných 15y, typově někde mezi Eldorado 8y, Brugal, Pyrat. Nasládlý na začátku je, ale pak neustoupí lihovost s opravdu lehkou pomerančovou kůrou. Cena rozhodně neodpovídá.

I have once purchased this poor sorry rum to a friend but no one did like it so far. While I found its two brothers very interesting and unforgettable, this gets 2/10 rating just from respect for the whole Companero trilogy. Compared to its peers, it has no smell and the bittery cocoa? taste is merely disgusting. I can only afford to drink that stuff blended with something really sweet to abolish its bittery aftertaste. I think this is one of the worst rums I have tested so far, only overshadowed by La Hechicera - Colombian bittery hell that gave me a stomachache.
EDIT: did re-test this rum during a guessing competition and suprisingly this rum didn't end up among my worst choices, though I still didn't much like the taste, just found a worse rums that night. Hence I must elevate the rating:) Still dislike its dry bittery end.

It has character, cocoa comes through really strong. Second tasting: Jamaican influence is low but disturbing. I either prefer full ester overload or none at all. Plus it has weird gingery flavor that irks palate.

Der Companero Gran reserva ist geprägt von seinem rauem Geschmack und einem tollen Rumaroma von großer Qualität. Sehr zu empfehlen.

For me too Agricol, but even it is not my cup of tea this smell and taste too much chemical :-/ It is the one rum which I wont never buy again :-)

Sweetness -> 2/10
Strength -> 8/10

Day 8 of my 1423 Rum Advent calendar. This rum surprised me actually and I enjoyed it. Very dry rum with long lasting flavors. Not bad!

I was disappointed. Average taste and aroma. For me, Companero Orange Elixir is much better.

Ve vůni i v chutí se nejvíc hlásí Jamajka, nasládlá, neoslovil
