Vanilla abvish oaky nose. Sharp start to gentle smoky end. Sharp body with Vanilla sugar cane and roasty Abvish body. Gentle fruity end... pretty straight but less rum amd more brandy like. Not mature... very fresh...
Not terribly interesting given that I love their other offerings. Maybe I’m just jaded by their excellence. But save your money and grab the reserva.
Color: 4/5, nice amber color. Nose: 12/15, little fruity. Taste: 16/20, semi full flavor.
An excellent and harder to find rum but well worth a glass, no need for any ice.
Admittedly didn’t care for this much the first couple of times I had it. After giving it another try & letting it breathe for a bit, it really opened up & mellowed out though. Quite enjoyable if given some time. Not sure it is worth the price, IMO though.
The color on the bottle is much darker than when it's in the glass. First snif has quite some alcohol and some sweetness. Taste is quite strong. After some time this gets better. Compared to the Reserva Exclusiva this one is not sweet at all. Still the taste is very good. You just have top get used to it a little.
This limited edition of only 5000 bottles sat alone on the shelf of my favorite liquor store for quite some time because it costs twice as much as their more popular Reserva Exclusiva. I was reluctant to buy it myself despite the title of this review leaving a burning impression upon me. So what did it take? Reports of political turmoil with dictator Maduro refusing to leave Venezuela where these rums are produced. Gosh, what if the day comes when we can no longer get rums from Venezuela? So I stockpiled a few others from that country without opening them. Since this was the only new one to me, it got opened to answer the question in this title.
For my first pour, I let it breathe in the snifter for at least six minutes to match it's age in years. It does appear to be dry with no added sugar. The aroma is a complex harmony of flavors that are difficult for me to tell apart. On the palate is the same with very little burn and a hint of oak. It was wise of them to only age it for six years in various types of used oak barrels. They have lots of claims on the flavors derived from these barrels, but the description strikes me as being driven by wild imagination to sell out this product. The question in this title is what sold me to buy it, despite probably never finding another bottle if I rated it as a 10. Even if it were available again, I would still prefer two bottles of DRE at the same price over this $72 rum. From all of the detailed descriptions on the box, this rum also strikes me as being similar to why concept cars are made for the auto shows, to strut their stuff on what they can really do if put to the test. It is always an expensive experiment.
And the answer to that question in the title is that they should experiment with a semi-dry version of the DRE with less than 20 gpl of added sugar that is different from their Mantuano. They can do it while still having an attractive price! I trust them! Sugar bombs like DRE get the most popular attention, but represent only a small percentage of rums available. Their sweetness brings them lots of popularity, but their DRE is one of the better sugar bombs.
After having this one for a week, I don't like the aftertaste. Therefore, my initial rating drops down from an 8 to a 7, especially at $72. And though I hate to admit it, this rum tastes like a subdued version of Fernet Branca, but lacking any curative properties. I also found a merchant that has three bottles that are not selling. When my bottle is finally gone, I won't replace it.
47 voltů je znát. Příjemná chuť a vůně dřeva bez rušivých elementů. V ústech pálí, ale alkohol nečpí. Není vůbec sladký. Pro speciální příležitosti, kdy musí opravdu sednout, asi jako méně aromatický Cubaney Centenario.
the first couple of times i tasted this rum i didnt like it at all, but it is groning on me, and i have totally falled in love with it, this one is way betyder than Batch #2
The rum is quite light but it does have a fair amount of “booze” on the nose. It’s flowerly – it has a bouquet.
"The youthful nature of the rum does seem to carry a heavy hit of sweet young (but fiery) alcohol. The finish is fairly short."

N- The numerous types of stills in rum production are just amazing and confusing, this one originated from Canada. Baked apple pie with cinnamon, drizzled some maple syrup, add a bit of wood chip smokes and crushed tobacco. Pleasantly earthy but reserved and shy even at 47%, having spent 6 years in a ex-bourbon cask, the aroma are underwhelming. (84/18)
P- Fine body, medium texture. Mellow, soft with dried fruits on charred nuance, pickled brine, nutmeg and mineral underlay, feel retrained somehow. (85/19)
F- Medium-long, fragrantly coated with dusty wood, creamy caramelized honey on the return. Warming. (85/19)
B/B- 85/19
Weighted Rate- 75pt
