Aroma visualization from community tastings
Rum Artesanal Grenada Rum GMWE 1996
Menthol and cough-drop herbs hit first, then it softens into mirabelle plum, redcurrant and fresh honeycomb with a dusting of cinnamon. One member called the nose "sweet cough syrup" and meant it fondly. Dry and gently spiced on the palate, medicinal in a good way — but thin-bodied, and at 55% the alcohol pokes through the nose.

How does Rum Artesanal Grenada Rum GMWE 1996 taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Herbal, minty Grenada with plum and honey A pleasant surprise for most — herbal, minty and unusual rather than a flavor bomb. Several tasters flag a watery body, a short finish and heat that isn't fully tucked in.

Review by RumTaTa
Das ist mein erster Rum aus Grenada und mir ist gleich aufgefallen, dass die RA Abfüllung aus 2019 (3 Jahre älter und 2 Jahre kürzer gelagert) noch immer für etwas mehr als den halben Preis der aktuellen Abfüllung verfügbar ist! Nase: da hab ich gleich ein Lächeln im Gesicht - die erste Assoziation ist süßer Hustensaft. Der erste Eindruck verschwindet mit der Zeit und dann kommen Kräuter und Minze, später noch Johannesbeere und Mirabellen und etwas süßea wie Honig, sehr spannend! Leider sticht der Alkohol etwas in der Nase. Am Gaumen habe ich wieder zuerst einen angenehmen medizinischen Eindruck (fast wie Zirbe) der auch erbleibt und herrlich umrahmt wird von Süße, Frucht, Kräutern und Würze. Im mittelangen Nachklang verblassen die Aromen gleichmäßig und langsam. Sehr schöne Erfahrung mit diesem Rum aus Grenada. Jetzt bin ich neugierig und möchte auch die alte Abfüllung probieren.

Schöne Zitrusnote.
Review by Johannes
Irgendwie ganz interessant, aber nicht wirklich umwerfend. Erinnert mich geschmacklich an Zitronen/Ingwertee mit angenehmer Süße. Alkohol könnte etwas besser eingebunden sein. Insgesamt etwas flach.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Unerwartet geil! Tolle Nase nach roten & schwarzen Johannisbeeren, frischer Bienenwabe, Zimtplunder und vollreifen Mirabellen. Aromatisch dann leicht säuerlich, fruchtig nach gelbem Steinobst und roten Beeren, trocken und dazu etwas gerösteter Sesam und dezent Minze und Gebäck (wie ein fancy croissant mit Füllung). Sehr lecker und überraschend anders!
Review by Daniel
Sehr zurückhaltend an der Nase, dennoch komplex. Schwarzer Tee, Fruchtaromen und Würze zu erahnen. Geschmack: Würzig und mild zugleich. Anis und Mentholnoten. Konsistenz dünn und wässrig. Flüchtig im Abgang, eher kurz. In Summe wäre er mir das Geld nicht wert.
Review by Jakob
Subtle herbal notes on the nose alongside the typical Grenada profile with oak and caramel. A little more delicate on the palate, again light herbal notes alongside the classic ex-bourbon cask profile. Not an aroma monster, rather straightforward. Solid rum, relaxed to drink.
