Carupano Reserva Privada 21-Year

Very smooth sipper, I enjoyed this. Light and easy drinker with a nice nose and flavourful

first taste and smell a bit heavy on the alc. distinct oak, as fruity as expected. sweet like dos maderas and diplomatico, but both of those rums i still prefer over this one. it's however a nice addition to my collection. at $ 46 at the airport a bargain.

First taste is sharper I would say. Ron is dryer, I can't feel any sweet fruits, maybe caramel a little bit. Prevailing taste is bitterness. I think you can enjoy it with some addendum.

Vůně: Karamel, ušlechtilé dřevo, karamel
Chuť: Karamel, koření, slabě smetanová, nahořklá, bohužel také vodová
Dochuť: Sudová, slabá
On je snad horší než 18-ti letý!

This is a very good rum. Very nice presentation and fair value at the $50-60 price range. Age statement is vague, matured at length from private reserves up to 21 years. Sounds like Solara not true 21 year aged. On the nose I first pick up on Toffee, Figs,& Raisins. In the tongue first is sweet sugarcane followed by the toffee & raisins very smooth and enjoyable but I put it in the typical Venezuelan sugar bomb category like Diplimatico. This is definitely a sipping rum neat or a few small cubes. I will definitely drink this bottle not sure about another unless I have a cough or sore throat. Might try the 12 or 18.

Intense aromas of macerated red fruits, sultanas, dates, caramel, coconut, and spices. The palate is buttery and complex with notes of coffee, tobacco, and dark chocolate. Long, spiced finish.

Sweet vanilla, caramel, raisins, chocolate in aroma; caramel, vanilla, and little barrel in body; no tail.

Pour a glass of Carúpano Reserva Privada 21 years and you will be delighted by its dark amber colour with orange and golden glints, as well as its dense and bright texture.

7: On the nose, it gives off an intense and pleasant sensation with aromas of macerated red fruits, sultanas and dates, caramel, coconut, orange peel, tartar, wood, nuts, coffee and cinnamon.
8:On the palate it is unctuous, buttery, complex and elegant with hints of macerated fruits, coconut, coffee, spicy, tobacco and dark chocolate.
7: Finish : quite long, with toffee, some coffee, spiciness .

Quite smooth high-quality rum, oaky flavorful and a bit sweet - but not much; really enjoy it on a sniffer glass, with just a cube/ball of ice, if need be, along with a good cigar.

Have brought it as a gift to friends and colleagues in Europe, with much deserved praise once they taste it.

Delicioso. 21 años de perfección con su hermano de 18. Recomendable!
