Spirit Gallery Ron Regular 2013
The first surprise is that this doesn't taste like you'd expect from a Ron — one taster admitted he "wouldn't have bet on a Ron" tasting blind. It leans floral and gourmand: vanilla, ground coffee, burnt sugar and dark chocolate, with a chili-tinged bite. At 65% cask strength the alcohol pokes through, and the finish runs short for many. A few pinned it to Belize rather than El Salvador.
The community says- Coffee and caramel
- No added sugar
- But: Short finish

The look inside the bottle
How does Spirit Gallery Ron Regular 2013 taste?
Aggregated from 41 community reviews.
Floral, coffee-caramel cask-strength Ron Well-liked as an unsweetened, coffee-and-caramel cask-strength pour, more balanced than expected for 11 years. The recurring gripe: a short finish and alcohol that sharpens the edges.

Review by Jacques etdom
Au nez c est relativement gourmand, du caramel, des fruits jaunes, de l ananas, me fait légèrement penser à un jeune Belize. L alcool est un peu piquant. En bouche les fruits sont toujours présents, avec une pointe de vanille, c est assez sec, mais quelque chose ne me convainc pas, un côté un peu métallique. La finale est très courte. Peut être simplement, que le Salvador n est pas mon type de rhum. Dans tous les cas, pour le tarif, c est une bonne entree dans le monde des rhums non édulcorés.
Review by Banana Joe
Eine echte Überraschung im Glas, bin zwar nicht bewandert in Belize, aber da ich erst zwei Rums aus Belize im Glas hatte würde ich diesen Rum auch nach Belize zuordnen. Auf jeden Fall typische Zentralamerikanische Aromen, aber da ist noch mehr. Olfaktortisch denke ich sofort an Frühling, dieser Rum ist sehr erfrischend und floral. Diese floralen Noten spiegeln sich auch am Gaumwn wieder. Sehr spannend....
Review by Schnubbi
Reminds me of the RX19558 from the nose and also on the palate, alcoholic and little depth. Therefore gets the same rating. You don't need it. Edit: I disposed of the rest of the sample in cola, where it works a little better than the RX19558, hence the slightly better rating.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Überraschend ausbalanciert und süffig für 65% und nur 11y. Würde auf Belize tippen, erinnert mich aber auch an Antigua und Belize. Mir gefällt vor allem diese Chili - Zartbitterschokolade - Karamell Kombi, die sich von der Nase bis zum Abgang durchzieht. Für den Preis eine coole Kombi mit 110€ für ein Liter single cask ... Meine Vermutung nach direktem Vergleich von beiden bleibt aber Belize!😀🇧🇿
Review by Air-one
Le Ron Regular de Spirit gallery me semble plus accessible que son frère "heavy". Je l'ai trouvé plus agréable. Au nez, les notes vanillées et café prédominent. En bouche la vanille, les épices et le sucre brûlé ressortent. La finale plutôt longue et agréable est douce et nettement caramel.
Review by Maxime Clr 🇫🇷
Un nez étonnant : sur la café moulu, très frais, herbacé avec beaucoup d’épices et une pointe de miel et de vanille. Une bouche très puissante, sur le moka, le cacao, les épices et les agrumes avec une amertume et une salinité en fin de bouche. Belle sélection ! Détonnant quand on sait que c’est un Ron !
Review by zabo
Naja schön mal diesen Rum probiert zu haben, aber vom Hocker reißt er mich nun wirklich nicht. Kann diesen jetzt überhaupt nicht einordnen woher er kommen könnte. Weiß nur, das er mir nicht wirklich schmeckt, nicht mal mit Cola was man haben muss. Preislich wohl o.k.
Review by Thunderbird
I can't really categorize this bottling. On the nose, I primarily perceive sweet, floral aromas. On the palate, a heavy sweetness at first, which is replaced by a strong herbal presence. Allspice is also present. The finish is relatively short.
Review by TheJackDrop
Now we're on to something interesting. On the nose, it's very tasty from a distance, but the alcohol rises a little in the glass. We have caramel coffee, a little vanilla, some fruit on top, it's complex even if a little dry. Medium finish. Cold; I wouldn't have bet on a RON. A pleasant surprise!
Review by Mentalo
Die Secret Regular Abfüllung ist zumindest besser als die Secret Heavy Abfüllung. Die sprittigen Noten sind deutlich weniger. Vom Profil her bleiben sie sich ähnlich. Hier kommt noch Vanille durch und eine intensivere (künstliche) Fruchtnote.
Review by Gregor
Nase: Ananas, Kokosnuss, Kaffeebohnen, etwas dunkle Schokolade, braucht einen Moment Gaumen: Vanillesüsse, Ananas, Kokosnuss, leicht salzige schwarze Schokolade, Holz, recht stark zwischendurch, aber angenehm warmer Abgang, mittellang
Review by Dr.Django
A proper release from Spirit Gallery. This "secret regular" is not particularly complex, but still quite tasty. Vanilla, candied light fruits and burnt sugar dominate. the finish is unfortunately very short.
Review by Gregory Montagnier
Very good! Surprisingly different from other rons. Not having added sugar makes you feel the markers even more. Well executed 👍
Review by Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓
Ach, für einen Montagabend ganz ordentlicher Rum. Natürlich nichts für besondere Anlässe. Für mich dominieren Bitterkeit und Schärfe, aber nicht unangenehm. Richtig gut finde ich den überlangen, kräftigen Abgang.
