El Ron del Artesano Amontillado Cask Finish 2012
Sipped neat, this is a quiet after-dinner pour where the sherry finish does the talking. Dried apricot leads, backed by pecan, chocolate and roasted oak, with a faint pleasant bitterness at the tail. Several tasters note the Amontillado cask sits right at the edge — clearly there, but not quite burying the Panama base. The 48% reads well integrated. One member now treats it as an easy daily sipper that's a touch short on depth.

Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Dried-apricot sherry finish, easy daily sipper A well-liked sherry-finished sipper. Most find the cask nicely balanced and the alcohol tidy, docking it only for lacking real depth — an easy pour rather than a deep one.

Man merkt hier auch wieder wie das Finish den Grundstoff verändert beziehungsweise ergänzt hat. Hier ist der Fasseinfluss deutlich erkennbar an bewegt sich an gerade noch so an der Grenze, dass er Ursprungsrum nicht gänzlich überlagert. Mittlerweile für mich nur noch ein easy daily Sipper, den es etwas an Tiefe fehlt.

Der zweite Artesano für heute. Habe leicht abgewertet. Im Geschmack und in der Nase merkt man getrocknete Aprikosen. Die 48 Prozent sind ganz gut eingebunden. Alles in allen kann man den Artesano gut trinken

Stark in der Nase, süss
Review by cigares
Blind tasting of El Ron del Artesano. A nose of dried apricot, pecans, oak and a little too much alcohol. The palate is sweet, then a little piquant, with the wood and fruit only arriving later. The finish is medium in length, elegant, with an interesting slight bitterness linked to the wood and fruit at the very end.

Schon deutlicher Sherry-Einfluss. Aber gefällt mir gut!
