Braasch Greathouse Rum
Anyone dipping into blended sipping rum without wanting heavy oak will find this an easy fit. It's a multi-country blend that leans fruity — a little Jamaican fruit, gentle wood, a touch of pepper. One taster likened it to an Irish whiskey. Reviews agree the direction is right, but at 40% it comes across thin and watery, and the alcohol isn't always tucked in.
The community says- Fruity and easy
- Fair value
- But: Thin, watery body

How does Braasch Greathouse Rum taste?
Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Light, fruity blend that runs a touch thin Most call it a pleasant, fair-value blend that goes down easy. The recurring gripe: too thin and weak, with a slightly bitter finish — several wish for a cask-strength version.

Netter Blend.
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Bisschen dünn aber sonst ganz lecker.
Review by Henning
Gekonnter Blend aus mehreren Ländern. In der Nase fruchtige Jameika sowie angenehme leichte Holz Töne. Erinnert mich an einen Irisch Wiskey. Geschmacklich rund und fein aufeinander abgestimmt. Gut eingebundener Alkohol. . Für mich ein toller Sipper mit nicht zu schwerem Holz. Preis-Geschmacksverhältnisist Gut.
Review by zabo
Eigentlich gar nicht so schlecht, mich würde diese Abfüllung in Fassstärke interessieren. Dann könnte der eventuell richtig was können, für mich zu wässrig und schwach. Die Richtung stimmt auf jedenfall.
Review by Timo Groeger
Also prinzipiell gesehen ist dieser hier gar nicht so schlecht. Ist sehr, sehr fruchtig und der Nase und am Gaumen. Finde das aber doch generell gesehen sehr geil. Schmeckt mir echt sehr gut dieser Rum.
Review by Michael Schillheim
Im Gegensatz zum künstlichen Braasch Vanille oder Braasch Klassik ist der Great House der erste Rum der Reihe, der die Bezeichnung Rum verdient. Aber nach wie vor schwach und flüchtig in der Nase schlecht eingebundener Alkohol. Am Gaumen eine leichte Würzigkeit und schwaches Holz. Im Nachklang leider wieder relativ bitter.
