"Dark chocolate rum. I love it" is the short version — this is essentially melted Toblerone at 54%. Cocoa, milk chocolate, vanilla and a little orange peel, all wrapped in serious sweetness from the cacao-cask finish. The higher proof keeps it from going full liqueur, but nobody's calling this subtle. Chocolate lovers melt for it; anyone else finds it one-note.
The community says- Massive chocolate flavor
- Well-hidden 54%
- But: High sugar content

How does Companero Ron Panama Extra Anejo taste?
Summarized by AI from community reviews.
Very sweet, cocoa-bomb dessert rum Pure chocolate-cocoa bomb that people either adore or find too sweet and one-dimensional. The 54% stops it collapsing into liqueur, but this is dessert in a glass, not a classic Panama sipper.

This rum is something special! 12 years in bourbon barrels with a finish in barrels that were filled with cocoa, which is why you get the full flavor of chocolate here. Unfortunately, there is also a little alcoholic spiciness.

Wow the smell. Dark chocolate, chocolate pudding like grandma's times. The smell promises so much and then comes the awakening. In the mouth just strongly alcoholic. Okay, it's 54%. So at first no chocolate in the mouth anymore. It just burns. Only afterwards does the chocolate come back. A bit better on the second and third sip.
Review by LukaŽiga
6,8:On the nose, the attack of chocolate is very impressive, it is sweet, alcoholic, not dry. Chocolate lovers can get their heaven in this rum.Tones of sweet cocoa powder all around us. Orange peel, vanilla and spice are overwhelmed by the chocolate. Aeration brings out more creamy chocolate, butterscotch, more bitterness and quite strong metallic notes, even meaty?! 7:On the palate, heavy bodied sweet rum, syrupy, full of chocolate attacks our tasting buds with some nice orange peel as counterbalance.Under the chocolate, we find lots of butterscotch sweetness, caramel, sweet spices, hints of vanilla and some oak. 7:The finish is long, filled with sweet chocolate, a bit bitter and butterscotch, iodine and is a bit citrusy...
Review by Eugene227
Powerful aromas of dark chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, and roasted wood. The 54% ABV is surprisingly well integrated and provides an intense yet pleasant mouthfeel. Despite the very sweet character, it offers a lot of flavor and a convincing price-enjoyment ratio.
Review by Beancheese
This is a very sweet rum, a dessert in itself. This tastes like you melted down a Toblerone bar and added alcohol to the mix. This can only be enjoyed by those with a high tolerance for sweetness. Personally this one is a struggle for me and always has been, even when I enjoyed sweet, dosed rum more. I will give credit for the 54% ABV - I can’t imagine how cloying this would be if bottled at 40% with the same rich sweetness. But don’t be fooled, this one goes down easier and has less heat than any 54% ABV rum I have personally encountered.
Review by Christoph
Rum for dessert? Why not, actually. Not a typical representative of the "goes well with dark chocolate rums", the rum IS dark chocolate. One immediately thinks of Spiced Rum here and for me it is definitely a fun rum but can be quite tasty if you are in the mood for chocolate rum. The alcohol is relatively well integrated.
Review by HenryL
Exciting very chocolaty nose.taste disturb the 30g sugar here surprisingly little, is probably the higher alcohol content. Otherwise, the chocolate continues to pull through.The could do very well in cocktails!
Review by Martin Ekrt
This is something for lovers of sweet things. In the nose mainly nougat, cocoa, and vanilla. In taste mainly nougat and sugar. For me, a big pity that it isn't less sweetened. Otherwise, the alcohol level is just right. Not really for drinking on its own because of the sugar, but I take it as an aperitif.
Review by Christian Rudt
I like it. This cocoa bomb tastes delicious on its own and is also versatile in the kitchen. Rumolkugeln are insanely good with him. But also in drinks prima usable. I recently treated myself to a chocolate old fashioned in a bar. Was a totally relaxed drink. A great product👍
Review by BTHHo 🥃
It has a heavy aroma of dark chocolate, warm cream and a bit of citrus, and a warm taste of chocolate and cocoa. The taste is distinctive with a mild hint of orange.
Review by Björn TP
Andra provning, luftat och vattnad. Mycket bättre
Review by Rumpalumpa
Alcoholic and chocolatey on the nose, you can also tell it gets sweet. On the palate definitely sweet, the chocolate more subtle than expected. Because there is also a lot of spice from the cask. The 54% really does it good!
Review by Marcel.
Chocomel, Pepper, Sweet. To sweet but a great value bottle. Would use this in a tiramisu.
Review by Galli33
Sweet rum with a decent taste of chocolate, nuts, orange…. Very delicious. Pleasant to drink 👍🏻
Review by Oliver
Liquid chocolate. Dessert "Rum "Somewhat one-dimensional
Review by Jan Lu
This one is already borderline sweet. Smells and tastes very much of caramel and sugar. Not as bad as A.H. Riise and Don Papa, but unfortunately goes strongly in that direction and completely misses my taste.
Review by nick_nick1
Very sharp but pleasant. Very long beautiful finish with chocolate notes. Should not be missing in the collection.
Review by Johannes
Very sweet, chocolaty, more like a liqueur.
Review by Bart van Zoest
Ugh, this tastes like vanilla extract
Review by rum_sk
Chocolate all the way and those 54 abv. can be definitely felt and it is a good thing that it has this kind of strength because otherwise the sweetness would be overpowered. So with this abv it is really nicely balanced. The nose is all chocolate as well as palate with hints of vanilla and lot of spice, mostly black pepper. I have compared it directly with Aurhentico Nativos overproof and I have to say this one is pulling the shorter end. It is nice when on its own but side by side the AN is much better therefore after retasting I am pulling points down. Finish is not very long, more like short-medium.
Review by MJ72
Doesn't taste as high-proof as it is
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
To sweet. loads of milk chocolate. Loads of it. The % helps lifting it up so its not a full sweet "likeur" but its close to that. Not my taste, but not undrinkable either.
Review by TheFrenchRefill
Very very very chocolaty! But not so unpleasant.
Review by Madame 888
Dilute with a few drops of water!
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose has lots of hazelnut and dark chocolate. There's also some creamy nougat and an earthy note lingering in the background. A very sweet palate with a massive hit of chocolate, but sweet milk chocolate, not dark like the nose. There's also some vanilla, hazelnut, orange and brown sugar notes. Reminds me of drinking a chocolate orange flavoured hot chocolate. The finish is a touch warming. Just remembering the ABV at this point. Doesn't last too long and keeps to the chocolate theme. A super chocolate forward rum. I think I'd work well in a Mai Tai. To drink neat, it's possibly a bit too sweet, not unpleasant though. Maybe just have the one.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Very authentic. Honestly tastes like real cocoa. Successful product. For dessert for people who don't like sweet rum.
Review by Andi
Cocoa and chocolate, very dark, slight wood barrel note.
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 6 years ago: First a fun fact: My first bottle of Companero slipped out of the tube when I was getting out of the car because I was holding it the wrong way, and shattered on the floor without me being able to try it first. So unfortunately I had to order a second one right away... Right after opening it’s clear what the rum has to offer. Strong notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, and hazelnut pour out of the bottle and glass. It’s worth letting the rum breathe. There are definitely more cask notes coming through as well. The alcohol gives a certain sharpness but, due to the dominant chocolate note, it’s quite pleasant on the palate. When drinking, the rum shows very powerfully what it already promised on the nose. Intensely chocolaty, almost creamy on the tongue. The alcohol warms everything up and unfolds the aromas in the mouth. If the rum has other flavors, they have a hard time presenting themselves here. Cask notes with a bit of spice are noticeable. The finish stays sweet with a bit more nut and also some wood. The finish isn’t long but it’s okay. Clearly, this rum is a matter of taste. I’m also honest that I have a problem believing that no additives were used here. At least I’d be interested to know how the bottler managed to make a 12-year-old rum so creamy and intense with chocolate notes. Must be some crazy casks. Very likely it was inoculated here.
Review by Marcus Kothe
Great rum for its money! The nose gets the full chocolate package. Simply an easy sipping rum for beginners but also for advanced drinkers. Really fun. Espresso Martini would also be an option 😉
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolute roasted dark bittersweet chocolate explosion! And surprisingly mild for the 54%, somehow also a bit too sweet and almost seems more like infused with cocoa nibs than if it were natural... still tasty
Review by Balu DeBaer
Covers the need for chocolate 🧸
Review by Peter Sjoroos
Chocmania! If you, like me, love chocolate you can't dislike this one
Review by Don Grisu
Delicious, chocolatey, full-bodied. Recommended with warm cocoa, cream, and chocolate sprinkles.
Review by Miňo
Quite pleasant to drink on its own. Chocolate and alcohol percentage 👍
Review by DutchRumPirate
Dark chocolate rum. I love it
Review by Malte
Give it time to breathe and warm it a bit with your hands, then it shows the ultimate chocolate-cocoa explosion. Velvety soft, mild and round... it's just fun to taste this rum.
Review by Lukas K.
Very good stuff. Absolute cocoa bomb with hazelnut. A bit of alcohol in the taste, although the 54% is well integrated. Warm, long finish. Surely also works well in an Espresso Martini. Recommended!
Review by Montana
A strong smell of milk chocolate, coffee, marzipan and vanilla, also caramel, very pleasant. Also in taste there is a lot of chocolate, quite spicy with a slight sharpness. A pleasant chocolate rum.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is clearly focused on cocoa. This infusion of cocoa beans directly made in the barrel did its job! It is very hot and pastry-like. You find a bit of citrus and vanilla notes but it's cocoa galore right in your nose! On the palate, the alcohol is barely noticeable despite the 54%, it's very round and soft. Again, almost only cocoa, it's a very monolithic rum, if you don't like cocoa, better leave quickly! You find some notes of orange, vanilla and caramel. Unfortunately, it's too sweetened with additives.
Review by Belias
A sweet rum to finish, tasty and definitely doable, especially the chocolatey notes were a nice change for me. I wouldn't buy a bottle... but I'd gladly order a glass again if the chance arises :)
Review by Natascha og Aske
Very one dimensional rum. Great for beginners - smooth and not too challenging. But a bit boring
Review by Rolf Pankoff 🇩🇪
My rum dealer from Essen recommended this to me as a chocolate bomb. Good thing I only have a shower in the bathroom, I'd love to bathe in it in a tub, so delicious!
Review by Anonymous
A very very original rum that won't please all rum lovers with a strong nose and taste of cocoa. Very good rum to beautifully finish a meal with lightness that will enchant your palate with a good cocoa taste.
Review by elias
Tastes very strongly of chocolate! Very sweet and despite its high volume pleasant to drink.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Intensely chocolaty flavor of real cocoa. Quite sweet, but fits the product and thus almost the perfect dessert rum. Or conclusion of a tasting. Also found it exciting that such a rum is bottled with such a high alcohol content!
