Dark brown in color. Vanilla, bitter chocolate, brown sugar and sugar cane on the nose. Fairly thin and a little lacking in flavor. Not as sweet as the nose would suggest. Burnt raisins and vanilla flavor profile. Fun to try a “Mexican “ rum to compare/contrast with traditional rum producers. 3.65.
About this bottle
This rum is distilled in Mexico at Licores Veracruz, S.A. de C.V. It is made using a combination of continuous column-still and pot-stills to create their rums from molasses and sugarcane juice. After distillation the rum is aged in European white oak barrels. The rum bottle is presented in a bottle wrapped in amate tree fibers. This is called the "Art edition" because each bottle is a work of art created by artist Master Victor Fernandez. He uses Amate Tree fibers to create the design wrapped around the bottle. Each bottle is individually numbered and unique. The rum in the bottle has a dark chocolate with rusty amber highlights. In the glass the colors lighten to a mahogany with amber highlights. Agitating the liquid created a thick band around the glass and slowly releases legs that crawl down the side of the glass.

This one is more complex than 15th years. Its color darker but clear and nose the same wood and almost no spice. I think it has more sugar than 15 but you almost dont feel it. Aftertaste is longer and not such strong alcohol. It worth to have in your bar, not bad.
Neat looking bottle for sure! Main aroma is brown sugar, followed by hints of molasses and almost-burnt caramel. Too much alcohol burn to get much flavor but the finish is black licorice -- yuck! This is definitely not for me. Tastes based on neat sipping.
Nose: burnt/caramellised sugar, subtle fruity notes, vanilla Palate: oak, raisins, dates, caramellised sugar towards the end Finish: fairly dry and lingers
Mexican Rum! “Molasses - Roasted Brown Sugar, hints of Vanilla” Let a cube of ice melt on this one. 20 year single barrel for @ $35 you can’t beat it!
A sweet and woody first taste than a more smooth and smoky second sip. Nice caramel aroma.
