Aroma visualization from community tastings
Ron Botran Roajú (Batch 1)
People who like a spice-and-red-fruit Guatemalan sipper will find plenty here: cinnamon, clove and licorice over ripe cherry and blackberry, with clear sherry and port cask influence. One reviewer called out a "very marked character," and it's built for drinking neat. Fair warning from others, though — at 40% the palate can read a bit watery and flat next to that promising nose.
The community says- Clove and cinnamon spice
- Ripe red fruit
- But: Palate can be thin

Review by Balu
Die Nase verspricht Frucht, leichtes Karamell und Gewürze. Allerdings ist der Geschmack eher flach und ein bisschen wassrig. Die Aromen der Nase sind nicht beziehungsweise nur sehr gering zu schmecken. Dafür kommt im Abgang eine Leder/Kaffeenote in den Vordergrund.
Review by Christian Lopez
Roajú really surprised me, and although I don't know how to describe it since this is my first review. I can say that its a rum with a very marked character, notes of cinnamon cloves, licorice and ripened red fruits are especially felt. Neat is my favorite way for this one. 🥃

Degusté au Spirits Days à Tournai, notes rapides : Bref : je n'ai pas pris de notes, mais un rhum agréable et pas dénué d'intérêt
