Montanya Oro Dark

Tastes like young whiskey. Not bad if you do not expect aged smoothness.

Immediately upon pulling the cork - the butterscotch is wafting up from the glass. A much more pronounced vanilla is in the air. The initial taste, vanilla for sure, a sweetness that lasts longer. Almost a honey flavor that marries with the smokiness of the Oak. This is a real sipping rum, although I can think of one or two drinks that would benefit from it as a mixer. This is not going to last long behind my bar.

Harsh nose, vegetal esters, fruity follow up but more perfumey ester

A decent sipping rum. Not exceptional, but also not that old, so not surprised. Worth trying. I support paying a bit more to support a business like this.

Bottle gifted to me by King Kahuna. Light gold color. Interesting aroma of acorn squash. Mildly doughy. A faint licorice flavor. White grapes. Medium body. Slight evergreen finish. There’s some stuff going on with this one. Not too shabby.

It has a lot of chocolate... more like eating chocolate than baking, sweet and syrupy almost.

What is fascinating with this rum is that the production in Colorado which location definitely does not favour rum production.

The rum tasted of burnt charcoal and liquorice ...barrel notes due to the year but still felt like it was lacking any real depth ...

Decent but grossly overpriced vs alteratives. Fairly balanced, not too sweet and worth a try with a cube or 2.

Recently saw that this took a medal at SF World Spirits so bought a bottle. It is not sweet, which I love. Aged 12 months with no sugar caramel to sweeten, so surprisingly smooth and complex. Love the finish of spice. All around a great American rum.

Had a bottle and it went very fast!! Loved it and found myself getting lost in the moment while drinking. My bottle looked different so I might have had a different blend. I will be buying another bottle soon and will upload some pics.
