The Island Rum Company Paraíso Black Tears Dry Spiced
Loved by Smighty, Wes Burgin
An approachable, coffee-heavy Cuban spiced rum with dark chocolate, mocha and light wood. RumX members see it mainly as a mixer, especially for cocktails or long drinks with a coffee twist.

Review by Kevin Hummel
For the price, in my opinion, it's a good and well-balanced entry into the world of rum if someone is drawn to the flavor profile of dark chocolate and coffee.
Review by Smighty
Long story short: very tasteful rum. Would recommend
Review by hubo
The aroma and taste are dominated by coffee and cocoa, reminiscent of mocha macchiato or coffee liqueur beans with dark chocolate. Coffee and cocoa also remain in the finish, which is medium to long.

For cocktails just right
Review by MJ72
Kräftige Kaffeenote in der Nase und im Mund. Moderate Süße, nichts für den puren Genuss
Review by Rum mit Carlos
Beim Öffnen der Flasche hat man schon einen Geruch von Kaffee in der Nase. Wenn man tiefer ins Glas geht riecht man auch leichte Holz sowie Karamell und Vanillie Noten. Der Geschmack ist auch stark von Kaffe geprägt und ähnelt dem Geruch. Der Abgang ist mir persönlich leider zu stark alkoholisch und brennig. Der Black Tear ist aber generell sehr Flach und eintönig. Der starke alkoholische Geschmack hindert mich etwas am Pur Trinken.

Kaffee wie blöde
