"Much too sweet for me! At the nose it’s round with aromas of vanilla, caramel and cocoa. At the palate and during the medium long finish it’s sweet and round with flavors of vanilla, caramel and chocolate."

"Retasting this rum and it lost some points compared to the first run. When I first tried this rum I was surprised at what quality you get at this low price. A must try in my mind. The nose is sweet with spices and fruit topped with a hint of coffee and cognac. The palate is well balanced with wood/oak and sweetness from honey, caramel and burnt sugar. Add to that some caramel, chocolate and honey and it's a hit. The finish is medium long, creamy and sweet with a hint of coconut and orange."

"Leckerer Dom Rep Rum, allerdings etwas zu süß. Absolute Standardaromen, die man von vielen anderen spanischen Rums her kennt. Leider etwas dünn, als Anfängerrum geht es noch klar, aber so günstig ist dieser Rum dann auch nicht. Fazit: gibt günstigere und bessere Rums dieses Stils."

"Taste: Sweet flavors combine with vanilla, honey, caramel and cinnamon. The extra percentages have given Ron Esclavo XO a little more power to the taste."
