9.4/10

A truly fantastic and elegant rum, but overpriced as most of the Havana Club rums. The nose is woody and smoky with aromas of fruit and toffee. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s complex, elegant smoky and woody with flavors of leather, tobacco and cigar.

brutal much raisin & tobacco on the nose. Tastefully strong & elegant, but personally a bit too much tobacco and leather overall. PLV is also for me not in proportion...

Had a retaste and this time I had the right cigar to go with it and wow what a difference, this is truly a mix well worth a try even though the cigar is slightly expensive and hard to get. Just decided to crack open this wonderful bottle and I regret not having a Cohiba Piramides to go with it. I know it was made to match the Cohiba Siglo VI, but that is too heavy a cigar for me :-) A cooperation between master blender Asbel Morales and cigar sommelier Fernando Fernández and they made something out of this world. A wonderful deep and elegant masterpiece that has a long, warm and elegant balanced finish. A rum worthy of the price tag and then some!

8,9:On the nose, the first impression we get is a really round and balanced rum with roasted wood notes like coffee, chocolate, toffee, some cocoa powder and leather, spicy with baking spices, molasses is herbaceous and flowery, earthy with tobacco.From fruits we have tropical banana and dried fruits like raisins. There is also a slightly metallic patina. On aeration, it becomes buttery with caramel, nuts like walnut, slightly smoky, a cigar note says hello and molasses darkens the mood with licorice. Fruits are now stronger with dried apricots, dates and figs, green apple and a whiff of citrus. 8,7:On the palate, the attack is dark, balanced with roasted, smoky wood notes like leather, dark chocolate, coffee, later with burnt sugar and caramel, spicy with vanilla and cinnamon.The molasses brings cigar tobacco notes...they are in balance with dried fruits and green apple.Slightly metallic patina is still present. 8,6:The finish is long, dry and a bit tannic, still round with dark notes pairing delicious fruits... Edit:21.9.25

Tasted as part of Whisky, Rum and Gin festival in Bordershoppen back in 2018, where we helped empty the bottle. Very intense in the nose, and with notes of dried fruit, vanilla and the subtle sensation of tobacco, I can see why it would pair well with a cigar

Erstmal Danke an Kevin für die Gelegenheit In der Nase typische Süße, Schokolade, Karamell und etwas Holz. Im Mund dann feine Süße sehr Mild und schmeichelhaft, Schokoladig. Abgang mittellang nach Vanille, Schokolade und Holz. Toller Rum aber für mich kein gutes PLV

A beautifully crafted Cuban rum, both in taste and presentation. Rich notes of tobacco, vanilla, leather, wood, burnt sugar, dark chocolate and caramel create a deep, complex profile. It's an excellent companion to a fine cigar. Thanks to its smooth ABV, even beginners can appreciate and enjoy it.

Klassischer spanischer Stil. Lecker, aber kurzer Abgang und wenig Tiefgang.
