So this is my first review, and I haven’t read any of the others so I’m just gonna shoot from the hip…..So this is my first review, and I haven’t read any of the others so I’m just gonna shoot from the hip…..

I’ve always been more of a Whiskey/Scotch/beer drinkin’ kinda kid, but Johhny has turned me on to the higher end Takillyas and rums, and I think I might have found a little gem today…. I went in looking for another bottle of Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum (which I’ll review if it hasn’t already been done) but they were sold out so I took a shot with the Aniversario 12- just uncorked her, poured her over some rocks and started smiling…. tasty stuff…. it is closer in taste to the Flor De Cana 10 year- just sweet enough, not too spicy, nice and complex finish- has me trying to figure out if it’s the oak that I’m tasting most…. hold on, I’m gonna go get another glass….. o.k, back and a little warmer now….. strong enough to heat up your chest, but not strong like a whiskey- it’s begging to be joined by a Cuban if you know what I mean…. almost has a very faint chocolate or caramel flavor when you swish for a second or two. Complex is a term that is a little too sophisticated for old Slade Dog, but it’s the only word I can come up with right now- very interesting finish and after tastes….
Overall I’ve got to recommend this one- holds up to Flor De Cana, Cruzan Single Barrel, Pyrat- not super cheap at about 30 bones but hey, I’ve spent more than that in 15 minutes in bars in LA just drinkin’ beer…..
I will say that overall I think I dig the Cruzan just a little bit more, probably because it has a little bit more bite and reminds me of an aged whiskey such as Eagle Rare….. but again, I’m more of a whiskey guy….
so no clever comments here, no funny stories- just a good little rum….. now I’m gonna get drunk and read all the reviews and jump in if I have anything to add……
