Emperor Heritage
Despite the crown-and-heritage packaging, most tasters land on the same verdict: sweet, soft and pretty easy-going rather than deep. Expect caramel, vanilla and a light sugarcane character, with the odd floral, anise or grassy note peeking through from the juice-and-molasses blend. A couple of people found it a touch thin and short on character, but it goes down without a fight.

How does Emperor Heritage taste?

Sweet, soft Mauritian easy-sipper for mixing Divides between "pleasant and easy" and "too sweet, a bit thin." Most agree it's a soft everyday pour that shines more in a mixer than in a tasting glass.

Review by Karlheinz Markhof
Quite ok, relatively round, but subjectively not sweet enough
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose a moderate Agricole and green grass aroma with some hints of sweetness and spice. Taste reveals a very smooth flavour of mild Agricole, fruit and spice with a little woody notes. Finish is medium with the sweetness and spice tapering off. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose a slight sweetness and Pepsi zero. No real distinct aroma. Taste has a strong and immediate punch of sweetness (still very smooth) with it tapering off quickly. This is quite delicious mixed and would drink multiple.
Review by Cédric Meyers
Pleasant without more. The nose is very floral, a little herbaceous, aniseed, slightly woody. In mouth we find this aniseed and floral side.
Review by David
Sweet. Drinks easily.
Review by Galli33
Unspectacular rum. Very sweet, thin, no character.
Review by Max Lee
Not balanced... relatively strong alcohol taste. Definitely not mine...
Review by Stefan Persson
Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club. Emperor Rum Heritage is a blend of aged rums from the distillation of pure and fresh sugarcane juice and molasses. Overall a rum that I mostly characterize as a Spanish styled rum thats too sweet for me.
