Rum Malecon Reserva Superior 12

Very nice bottle, but the content is bit underperforming the primal charm. The taste is a bit rougher, but it could be fine sipper if you're not very demanding. But using it in short drinks could be a better way to enjoy it. The dilution will help the taste to rise over that rougher side and mellow down that alcohol pinch in its taste, but it will also provide a more complex taste over the rums that are primarily used for drinks and mixers.

Aroma of brown sugar and a hint of red apple. Smells quite nice. Not much flavor in the mouth but mostly appearing after swallowing and very brief. I detect a little caramel and what kinda-sorta is like a Jamaican funk/hogo but not as good. Has a taste like that of lesser quality rums. I tried it in a Coke and the resultant flavor still tasted cheap. Rating based on neat sipping.

Spicy, pepper, for 40% abv incredible long aftertaste, gonna try some cocktails and longdrinks with it

Sweet, nutty flavor. Not a bad rum. Would drink again. Has some barrel body too it as well. Nice!
