I can't really place this rum either. Definitely alcoholic on the nose, same on the palate, for me a slight cognac and whisky note. But you can drink it quite well neat. It's okay.

5.5/10

The Aruak rum comes across as wood-forward with lots of oak, a slight sweetness, and a hint of plaster and leather. Fruity nose, a bit of chocolate on the palate, but alcoholic and bitter. Overall difficult and not very smooth. I have to add something. When the glass is empty and I take a sip or two of water, the taste of Hansaplast and leather lingers...

Avg Rating 7.5/10 over 230 Rums

Guatemala makes soft, sweet, dessert-like rum, and it does it high in the volcanic highlands where the thin, cool air slows maturation. Its base is virgin sugar cane honey, a concentrated first-press cane syrup rather than molasses, and its calling card is the Sistema Solera. One name towers over the country: Ron Zacapa.
