The surprise here is how gentle a 56.3% rum can drink. Deeply reduced and dark from long years in charred casks, it leans on wood, coffee, chocolate and green pepper, with orange peel and vanilla rounding it out. The alcohol is tucked away well. One member reads it as mostly Foursquare with a splash of Demerara — rounded, easy, but not the most exciting pour.
The community says- Integrated alcohol
- Coffee-chocolate depth
- Less suitable for: anyone chasing complexity or big funk

How does Valinch & Mallet C.A.D.C The Spirit of Art (Traditional Rum) 2004 taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Roasty, wood-forward Venezuelan, easy at cask strength Most tasters land on the same verdict: well-made, alcohol nicely integrated, pleasant to sip — but rounded rather than complex, so no one's calling it a highlight.

Review by BTHHo 🥃
Taste of wood, pepper, orange peel and vanilla and notes of toffee - aftertaste of vanilla, chocolate and wood. I would rate it as a pleasant and easy drinking rum 👍
Review by Jakob
Quite pleasing, if unspectacular profile. Chocolate, vanilla, toffee, latte, subtle citrus notes. The taste is quite round, but not particularly exciting - because not much else happens.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5309 11.05.2025 Having a few samples while arranging my rum cabinets. Nose Wood, light roasted, fruits, light coffee, light vanilla, light caramel, orange, faint chocolate. Palate Oily, wood, faint smoke, fruits, orange, spice, light caramel, light chocolate, faint bitterness, Finish Medium long, naturally sweet, wood, light roasted, fruits, light herbs, light orange, light caramel. Empty glass Orange, chocolate, light caramel, vanilla. ABV is really well integrated but a rather light profile rum.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Very reduced and heavy. Roasty and strong. Alcohol quite well integrated and also a nice age. Intense wood notes meet strong coffee notes. Round, unfortunately not particularly complex, therefore not a particular highlight.
Review by Pavel Spacek
This one is amazing! Full taste, integrated alcohol, taste like blend of 70% FSQ and 30% of Demerara
Review by Deadfame
Dark color, you can see it matured a long time in burnt barrels. This transferred into both aroma and taste and gave chocolate, coffee, woody notes. Very pleasant to drink, alcohol well integrated. Even though it’s a strong and dense rum.
