RX396 Pleasant Column Still Rum <50€
“Smooth, sweet, and beginner-friendly rum.”

Ron Esclavo 12 Años is a Dominican Republic rum distilled from molasses at the Oliver & Oliver distillery, bottled by 1423 World Class Spirits. With a 40% ABV, this rum offers a nose of vanilla, caramel, and woody notes, translating into a sweet palate enriched with vanilla and dark chocolate flavors. Users predominantly find it sweet, smooth, and potentially suitable for newcomers to rum. While praised for its easy drinkability and pleasant nose, some find it overly sweet, bordering on one-dimensional, and perhaps enhanced with added sugar. This rum sparks mixed reviews, particularly among those favoring less sweet profiles.

“Tried this in a hotel bar with very limited range. Would never have tried it under normal circumstances, cause I had earlier tested the XO and thought it was much too sweet. This one is also too sweet for me, but less than the XO.”
