Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
A weighty nose. Lots of dates, cocoa nibs and nougat. Reminds me of a Mars Bar with some additional licorice notes. Some mint on the back end. A surprisingly spicy palate after the nose. Chamomile tea, almond, cream toffee and cloves towards the back end with very distant notes of raspberry. The finish is quite long and warming. The cloves from the palate hang around with some anise and raisin. A great rum. Heavy, flavourful and sophisticated. One to share with friends.

Nice DomRep, Madeira finish is very well integrated. A dangerous easy sipper...

Fantastic first foray into IB Dominican. This can quickly become addictive!
Review by Boletus
The Madeira cask suits this rum from the Dominican Republic without overwhelming the basic profile. A pleasant, not exaggerated sweetness carries the chocolaty flavor package mixed with almonds and raisins. Nice mouthfeel, little alcohol is noticeable. Minimally metallic in the aftertaste, but this hardly bothers. Perhaps a little one-dimensional, but delicious.
Review by Jan Lu
Für Dom. Rep. Verhältnisse ganz anständig. Geschmacklich etwas dünn und der ABV für mich zu intensiv. Das Finish kommt auch erfolgreich durch. Alles in allem ganz gut, doch bei 10 Jahren Lagerung hätte ich etwas mehr erwartet.
Review by Serge
I'm not a fan of wine barrels or barrels of fortified wine. But I think in the case of a rather "neutral" Spanish rum, it may contribute something. In addition to dried fruit and cocoa notes, I also smell something vinous - and that doesn't mix with anything here. Not earth-shattering but drinkable. Makes a good Old Fasioned with a few dashes of Choclate Bitters and a juicy orange zest. I'll try that with the rest of the sample.
