S.B.S Venezuela 2006
Despite 16 years and 50% ABV, the surprise here is how easy it drinks — several tasters call it relaxed and smooth. The dark burnt cask leads: charred oak, burnt caramel, chocolate and coffee, with a little dark stone fruit and raisin sweetness. The catch, a few members note, is a thin body and a short finish that leaves you wanting more length.

How does S.B.S Venezuela 2006 taste?
Aggregated from 21 community reviews.
Dark, cask-heavy Venezuelan, smooth but thin Most enjoy it: a dark, cask-driven Venezuelan that drinks smoothly for its strength. Common gripes are a thin, slightly bitter palate and a short finish that undercut the good nose.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
A surprisingly good rum and despite the age it's a very dark rum in the glass. Very little fruit in there but wood and caramel mixed really well with the spices. Surprisingly smooth actually.
Review by Felix Reiber
Ein fruchtiger und würziger Rum aus Venezuela mit ordentlich Fasseinfluss. In der Nase viele rote Früchte,Karamell, etwas Holz und Gewürze. Im Mund profitiert das Destillat von einer fruchtigen Vollmundigkeit, den Fassnoten und den feinen Tönen von Kaffee, die mich oft an Kolumbianischen Rum erinnern. Der mittellange Abgang ist angenehm würzig, fruchtig und wird von leichten Schwarzteenoten begleitet. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis ist sehr gut und die Tolle Farbe aus dem Fass macht ebenfalls eine gute Figur.
Review by Boletus
Ein leckerer und aufgrund der Alkoholstärke sehr entspannt zu trinkender Rum aus Venezuela. Vereinzelt kommen dunkle Steinfruchtnoten durch, ansonsten dominiert das stark ausgebrannte Fass das Aromenbild. Verkohlte Eichenwürze mit leicht holzrauchigen Anklängen, angebrannter Karamell, Schokolade und Kaffee sind federführend und werden ergänzt von einer feinen Rosinensüße sowie ein wenig Vanille.
Review by Basti
Sehr entspannter Rum und aufgrund der Verdünnung einfach zu trinken. Das Portwein-Fass ist deutlich zu erkennen, ansonsten das typische Profil eines Spaniers. Mir ist der Rum am Ende deutlich zu dünn und zu langweilig, auch der Abgang ist ziemlich kurz.
Review by Vincent D
Profil sympathique : très sucré/caramélisé au nez. Confirmé en bouche. Du fruits également. Plus de bois au nez qu'en bouche. Pas beaucoup de longueur mais sympa.
Review by Double Barrel
Beautiful nose! A complex and full-bodied Cartavio. Alas i need to drawn the rum to overcome its harsh bitterness on the palate!
