A.F.D. Ron Cristóbal Santa Maria Marsala (Limited Edition) 2009

Caramel, vanilla and a distinct wine note from the Marsala cask are the first things you meet here — soft, round and noticeably sweet. Several tasters found it easy and pleasant, "rund und süffig," while others felt the good bones get buried under sugar and a slightly odd wine influence. An unusual Dominican with a very present finish.

The community says
  • Round and warm
  • Present, lingering finish
  • But: Too sweet for many

Expert review by The Dunder Hut

What a sweet and unnecessary rum. All good qualities are drowned in a frenzy of caramelly sugar, vanilla and a weird note i assume is the marsala. Boy does no one should have a need for that. Really dissapointing...
