Aroma visualization from community tastings
Fernandes Forres Park Puncheon Rum
Most tasters land on the same verdict: powerful and spicy, with chocolate and wood doing the heavy lifting. At 75% it's not for the faint-hearted neat — a few drops of water and some time make it far friendlier. One reviewer got hit with wood straight up, another liked the well-tucked-in alcohol and cocoa notes. It won't suit everyone; one person just couldn't get past the finish.
The community says- Loads of power
- Chocolate and spice
- But: Brutal neat

How does Fernandes Forres Park Puncheon Rum taste?

Fierce 75% overproof, spicy and chocolatey Big, warming and spicy with chocolate and bark. Loved by those who want a rum with real punch; overwhelming neat, and a couple found the finish too much.

Review by Jarek
Wow! Very unique. But also very tasty. And very powerful.
Review by w00tAN
A lovely vanilla spice on the nose; I also imagine wood. Then warm and powerfully spicy on the tongue. Lingers on the tongue for some time. Very nice piece.
Review by SaibotZtar
The comic advent calendar day 22 It comes across as biting ... But tasty and spicy. Chocolate and bitter notes shake hands. Dried fruit, maple syrup and tree bark. Reminds me of rum from Belize ...
Review by Johannes
Amazingly well integrated alcohol with beautiful chocolate notes.
Review by zabo
The funny calendar day 22 Completely wrong again. I was so sure it came from Guyana. A beautiful rum with a lot of oomph. It's not for the faint-hearted on its own. With a little water and time, it becomes more accessible. A blast as a mixer.
