Review by Richard Krupa
I expected it to be undrinkable, but I wouldn't call it 93%. I mean, yeah, it tastes like I've put rubbing alcohol on my tongue, but it's sweet and nice.
Review by Filip Šikula
Brutal. Extrem.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
You really don't expect this to be drinkable. Surprisingly mild and fruity! In particular, I wouldn't have expected to find any big flavors at all at 93% and Dom rep rum, but you can actually recognize some apple, mint and citrus here. Chapeau 😂 but nobody needs it and I think €80 is exorbitantly overpriced for a white rum at distillation strength....

Wow. Patex in liquid form.
Review by Johannes
Unbelievable that this rum is somehow drinkable at 93%! A lot of glue and solvent. Quite a lot more also not.
Review by Timo Groeger
Boy, boy, who came up with the idea of calling this stuff rum? No idea, fortunately it doesn't just taste of alcohol and glue. Citrus fruits are also recognizable. And just because the 93% is better integrated than, for example, in Stroh 80 or other high-proof trace spirits, it gets a relatively good rating of with.

Kleber, etwas Zitrusfrüchte, etwas Anis. Das war's. Auch mit Wasser ändert sich nichts daran.
Review by JFehr
Glue with a dash of lemon. Quite flat

#4064 There is a reason this particular picture has the sampleglass upside down because that's what the rum almost did to me 🤣 Darn, I almost lost all hairs in my nose, not that it's a bad thing, but this was not a nice way loosing them. Even after a very long rest it also removed all the hair on my tongue and cleaned out all the way to my little toe. This is definitely only a mixer rum or you can use it to kill weed in your garden.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
474 g/HLAA is more than Wedderburn at 93% and that from the Dominican Republic. A rum like you could never try before.The nose reminds undiluted neither Jamaica nor Grande Arome, but 100% glue with solvents (the good stuff), ethanol behind. You can use it to stain wood in a pinch. Maybe a thin lemon can be guessed. Water changes almost nothing.Undiluted in the mouth the same game: adhesive, solvent, plastic. That the 93% in the mouth go at all borders on a miracle. With water, the profile remains similar, some artificial fruit comes to it (green apple) and indeterminate sweetness as of refined sugar.From the pure tasting you have nothing but a headache.Even in the mojito, the glue pushes the mint against the wall. Undrinkable 🤷♂️
Review by Christian Rudt
Thanks @lukasdrinkinghabits for the sample. Here it actually has almost only glue and solvent some lemon still comes through and the ester content is true determined but is completely lost in the alcohol. Maybe I can still disinfect something with the rest.😅Unfortunately a failure. 9Points for the attempt 😁

Only suitable for graffiti removal...

Absolutely inedible! Since I can also press a tube of Uhu in the glass and dilute
