Rum Shark A.F.D. Dominicana 2011 Single Vintage
Best sipped neat with time to breathe — several tasters say the 61% needs ten minutes in the glass before it settles. Expect dark chocolate, vanilla, wood and walnut, with a brown-sugar sweetness underneath. Reviews land it as a decent but middling column-still sipper: pleasant chocolate-and-nut character, though a few found the alcohol not fully tucked in and the palate a touch flat.
The community says- Dark chocolate
- Walnut and vanilla
- But: Alcohol runs hot

How does Rum Shark A.F.D. Dominicana 2011 Single Vintage taste?
Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Chocolate-and-walnut sipper, hot until it rests Chocolate-forward, nutty and mildly sweet, but the cask strength runs hot for some and one reviewer found it a bit flat. Give it air and it improves.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
17.10.2022 Going through samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light wood, vanilla, light chocolate, faint nutts, light citrus, faint smoke. Palate Wood, faint roasted, light citrus, light nutts, light bitter, spice, light chocolate, light sweetness. Finish Medium to long, wood, light citrus, light chocolate, faint vegetal. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while for the ABV to settle.

Review by Michal S
Průměrný rum s hromadou spáleného dřeva a čokoládou, je tam cítit síla 61.1 %. Určitě doporučuju nechat alespoň 10 minut vyvětrat ve skleničce.
Review by Johannes
Alkohol nicht gut eingebunden. Geschmacklich etwas flach, leicht fruchtig, etwas Nuss.
Review by Pavel Spacek
So many dark chocolate!
