Alegro Reserva 5-Year

81 Alegro. Oaky spicy - reminds me some American oak cask scotch. That scotch hasn't brought a pleasure for me, but here is the rum - cane juice based - the oak is magnificent in here, way more tasty.
Ethanol some how pronounced, it's ok for me, even more - I would need 49° of it.
92 It's surprising how well the core of something Dominican is pronounced in Pinta compared to Allegro. Is it's theirs soil?
Pinta is just more fruity and a bit more sweet, smoother. Some how more complex.
Week before I had their Nina and they are very comparable, hard to find a difference.
73 Then there's Bayou. Also, I guess, the agricole rum. This one is from Mississippi river - quite odd ). Watery and a bit less natural compared to others. Little spirit burn at palate and aftertaste - pretending it's 43°. The taste is quite entertaining. Is it's sweetness due to Demerara sugar!? On par with Allegro for oak notes, spicyness. But unfortunately ethanol is not quite ok.

Decent rum. Very nice packaging and color. Overall groom flavor but wish is had a stronger flavor

Good rum, some oak aroma and flavor to it. It’s a good choice for the price but for a 5 dollars difference I will go for the XO next time.

I was so impressed with their Ron Alegro XO two days ago that I went back to pick up it's younger brothers. Since this is an agricole and with me knowing to keep the aging to a minimum to avoid excessive oak flavor, I figured that less aging could be better. This one is quite good, but the absence of the WOW factor just does not allow it to enter into my higher ratings. One only saves $5 US by stepping down from the XO to this Reserva. But for only $30 US, this is still a very good buy.

Deep solid flavor. Sweet oaky. Far less burn than the XO. Not quite ready to make it one a 6.5. A very nice mix.
