TBRC Darsa Distilled by Darsa SFGD 2008
"Wood soaked in honey infused with vanilla" is how one member sums up the palate, and that's the draw here. The nose is shy and a touch alcoholic — coconut, milk chocolate, soft vanilla — then it turns sweet and easy to drink, with a dry, lightly tannic finish. At 57% it's dangerously moreish. Several call it a real underdog and a genuine easy sipper.

Sweet, easy cask-strength sipper, chocolate and coconut Well-liked as a sweet, easy pour that punches above its reputation. The catch: a few find it a bit interchangeable, with neutral alcohol creeping into the finish.

Yesterday a very nice rum project. I personally like it very much and at a reasonable price. Chocolate can be recognized in the smell and nose. Also some notes of sugar and vanilla. Not too strong in alcohol.

Underdog July 2023: Actually quite nice, but also kind of interchangeable. A bit much neutral alcohol in the finish. I feel little of the age.
Review by Timo Groeger
Also a fine rum. According to my taste perception I taste chocolate and caramel. Definitely very good to drink this rum. The finish is relatively short for 57%, the palate enjoys this taste experience.
Review by Alex Kunath
Nice dark, typical notes of the Spanish style on the nose and on the palate. At first a bit alcoholic, but that quickly fades after some time in the glass. Afterwards, an intense, lasting taste remains on the tongue.
Review by zabo
Underdog project the first So for the price a real blast. Taste does not have to cost much. For me an insider tip. Sure there are rum that tastes better and more diverse, but then at what price. For the first selection made, no disappointment. See him as an easy sipper. Is certainly something for newcomers who want to discover the world of rum. I remember as a beginner rum.
Review by Chris Lewis
I wasn‘t too impressed at first, but a few drops of water did wonders for this pour. After adding water some of the harsher woody notes gave way to a rounder, oily sweetness. This is a great value for the price.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
On the nose there's an immediate coconut note backed up by walnut shells, oak and vanilla. Further nosing brings out floral notes with a little milk chocolate. There's a musky, asphalt note in the background. Sounds odd, is nice. The palate is delightfully sweet and very easy to drink. Think wood soaked in honey infused with vanilla. It's pretty divine. There's also some raisins and very dark fudge, the old ones that used to be in Rose's selection boxes. The finish keeps things as smooth sailing as the palate. A little tannic, not much, just enough to tickle to tounge. Perhaps a touch of smoke. Overall, this is superb. Get a bottle if you can. I shall try to get another myself. Batch 1 - Bottle 180 of 360
Review by Alexander Rasch
A rather simple creamy profile with a lot of sweetness. Only in the finish the rum becomes a little drier. Lots of vanilla and confectionery. Nice coconut on the nose. Overall easy sipping. Alcohol very well integrated. Not quite my profile.
Review by Fuwi
Class PLV! The nose first a little alcohol-heavy, then warm, soft vanilla. On the tongue initially a little bitter, almost pungent. But then comes along very floral and mineral on the palate, makes really fun!
Review by Viktorvaughn
The nose is shy and rather alcoholic, subtle notes of vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, we have more chocolate and sweetness, floral notes and honey. The mouthfeel is surprisingly good, medium oilyness. The finish is tannic, pleasantly dry, tingling, with notes of dark chocolate and coconut, flowers, inviting the next sip. At 57% it is dangerously drinkable and very moreish.
Review by Joseph Grant
A really nice rum. Not the most complex but what it does it does really well. Really sweet and the alcohol is pretty well integrated meaning it goes down really well.
