Companero Gran Reserva

Aroma is nice and promissing, full of esters and typical jamaican tones. But taste is weak, like mixed with water, very short fading finish is closing this disappointment.

Taki słaby ten rum. Dużo słabych w tym kalendarzu ..

This is definitely a worthy park influenced rum blend , loads of Jamaican funk that gives beautiful natural caramel , vanilla and smoke flavours .

Pas un grand rhum de dégustation, a essayer avec une glace.

Ok, aber gegen den Companero mit Schokogeschmack, welches mein momentaner Favorit ist, hat er einen schweren Stand. Für mich persönlich nichts besonderes.

It's not bad for the price, a little bit funky.
The nose is fruity, a little bit sweet and grasy. I get pear, citrus, melon, some vanilla and fresh wood with grasy nottes. Very good nose overall. Not very matured, but pleasant.

The issue is in the taste. Watery start, the dilution is bad.
Then I get melon, some sweet and grasy notes with vanilla.
In the middle I get paper, some tannins, vanilla, melon and honey. Not bad overall, could be more matured.
A little bit spice in the finish, vanilla and melon.

Not bad overall, but there is still the dilution problem. I would rate it with 69 points because of this issue.

Alcohol flavour is slightly dominating. Hint of molasa and wood. Dry. A few sips later is quite more drinkable, more smoother. This is not an again-buyer.

Leicht fruchtig im Antritt, dann sehr würzig und etwas alkoholisch.
Alles in allem ein spannender Rum.

Ром. Слабоватенький для своих заявленных 7-12 годков.

Burnt slightly less than many other rims but nothing else to really talk about
