mberdan 4.0

Nose: Lots of brown sugar, vanilla and honey. Light caramel, apricot and bubble gum. No wood or oak notes. Body: Overall light bodied but nice syrupy texture. Nicely balanced with complexity in the sweet notes. Lacks complexity outside the sweetness. Very smooth, no bite. Taste: Predominately vanilla and honey, with some toffee notes. Finally extract some of the faint wood notes upfront, can't determine what type of wood but not oaky. The bubblegum on the nose dissapears until the aftertaste. Overall: A very nice "patio rum". Great to enjoy neat on a warm tropical day. It is definitely on the lighter/sweeter side, but has some good flavours. Website states it is aged 12+ years but really lacks the maturity of an aged rum. Nonetheless very enjoyable.

Bouteille achetée à l'aveuglette au Duty Free de La Romana. Un nez qui ne laisse pas de doute sur le fût de chêne, une vanille française suave et soyeuse est à l'honneur au lieu de l'habituelle canne à sucre. C'est mielleux, poire caramélisée, légères épices, gâteau blanc moelleux. En bouche, entrée bien vanillée, canne à sucre et épices, surtout de la cannelle. Arrivé de l'alcool par la suite qui masque un peu le côté sucré initial. On retrouve ensuite ce sucre boisé et grillé du rhum vieilli avec toujours cette vanille subtile en arrière-plan ainsi qu'une purée de poire. Le seul point négatif est peut-être la texture qui aurait pu être plus huileuse. Sinon, c'est un excellent rhum qui se démarque des grosses distilleries dominicaines.

Vaclav Spiegel 3.5

I wasn't expecting much in this price and 38 ABV. But in Oliver & Oliver they know what they're doing and created perfect consumer grade sipping rum. Not strong, not bold in exploring interesting tastes, but sticking to the pleasant smell of sugar cane, toffee, vanilla and nip of chocolate, super sweet taste with bit of bitter spices on the end. Sweet bakery, bit burned caramel, little bit of fruity acidity (overriped fruit). It goes down smoothly and I think this must be favorable to all on consumer level.
