Vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and clove on the nose. Flavor is sweet, with more vanilla and caramel, along with some great brown sugar notes and a bit of spice. Finishes smooth, with just a bit of a lingering alcohol burn and more spice. Overall it's extremely easy to drink neat, and one of my favorite rums yet.

Tasted this along with the 7 and 12 year variations. This was definitely the sweetest. Heavy caramel on the nose. Palate was heavy caramel/butterscotch with very little heat.
Nariz: Dulce y amaderada. Caramelo, melaza y frutos rojos. Boca: Rica, dulce y amaderada. Tenue caramelo, con cereza, vainilla y apricot. Final: Medio, anisado.
On the rocks, it maintains all its complexity and taste while reducing the burn you feel when drinking it neat
Aroma de cravo, cereja e amêndoas. Dulçor moderado. Sabor de amêndoas, figo e caramelo. Tão bom quanto o 30y.
Heavily dosed and super sweet but the wonderful fruity flavors are not overpowered by all of the sugar.
