While the Valinch & Mallet 1996 D+V Demerara Cask no.12 Old Blended Rum may carry high expectations due to its age and origins, some reviewers found it to be a disappointment. Critics noted that the overall profile was not well balanced, with a noticeable alcohol presence that overshadowed the blend's complexity.
