Manabi Yaku Wari Untamed Rum from Ecuador
People who like an oaky, dried-fruit cane-juice rum and don't mind a savory streak are the audience here. Seven years of tropical aging give nutty, sweetish dried fruit and lots of oak, but the thing everyone fixates on is a strong Maggi-style savory note on the nose and palate. One taster loved it enough to order a second bottle; others just smell bouillon.
The community says- Nutty dried fruit
- Honeyed oak
- But: Strong Maggi/savory note

How does Manabi Yaku Wari Untamed Rum from Ecuador taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Oaky dried-fruit rum with a savory Maggi note Genuinely divisive. Fans get nutty dried fruit and honeyed oak from a cask-strength Ecuadorian pot still, but several tasters smell and taste mainly Maggi and bail out.

Adventskalender 2025, riecht nicht gut, schmeckt etwas besser wie er riecht, aber immer noch nicht gut.
Review by Timo Groeger
Tagesausflug Münster Juli 2025. Kneipe Whisky Dungeon. Der letzte mir fehlende hier und wirklich gut finde ich ihn nicht. In der Nase riecht er einfach nur nach Maggi. Am Gaumen auch eigentlich nur Maggi, mit etwas Wohlwollen schmeckt er noch leicht karamellisiert.
Review by Thomas Renoud
Nose : Very virgin cask forward, very similar to the Mhoba bushfire. Taste : dried fruit and tons of oak but not the bitter, dry side, more the nutty, sweet. Conclusion: single cask, non chill filtered, natural colour, 7 yo tropical aging, 50 plus abv for 55€ so for me it's good value. I like using it for my homemade blends
