AP Liquid Pearls Venezuela 2012
"Surprisingly good!" was the verdict from one blind taster, and several others agreed once they got past the nose. At 57% the smell comes off alcoholic, but tasters say the heat settles on the palate into dried fruit, caramel, vanilla and plenty of oak. A heavy, classic Spanish-style profile — one member compared it to an amped-up Diplomatico.
The community says- Well-integrated alcohol
- Dried fruit, caramel

The look inside the bottle
How does AP Liquid Pearls Venezuela 2012 taste?
Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Heavy, caramel-and-oak Spanish-style sipper Most find this a rich, well-built Venezuelan with caramel, dried fruit and oak. The nose reads hot, but the alcohol integrates well. Not for fans of dry, funky rum.

Klassischer spanischer Stil. Erinnert mich an dir Diplomatico Single Vintages aus meiner Anfangszeit. Nur sehr viel ausdrucksstärker. Insgesamt sehr kräftiges Profil. Auch das Süßweinfass gibt ihm noch mehr schwere. Ein kräftiger Rum für starke Nerven.

Köln-Bonner-Rumtasting: die Nase war Recht alkoholisch was sich jedoch im Gaumen relativiert hat. Allgemein ein sehr zugängkicher rum mit viel getrockneten Früchten und Karamell. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden und lange warm im Abgang.
