Companero Elixir Orange
Big sweet orange up front, backed by coconut and a syrupy, candied texture — several tasters flat-out call it a rum-based orange liqueur rather than a rum. One member even tagged it "#Thisisnotarum - sweet as H...". If you want that Cointreau-meets-coconut sweetness it hits the spot; drinkers chasing dry, classic Trinidad rum will find it far too sugary and one-note.
The community says- Strong orange flavor
- But: Very sweet
- But: Tastes artificial

How does Companero Elixir Orange taste?
Aggregated from 120 community reviews.
Very sweet orange-coconut, drinks like a liqueur Most agree it's tasty but barely rum — heavy orange, coconut and sugar that drinks like a liqueur. Great in cocktails or over dessert; too sweet to sip neat for many.

Yesterday I poured the rest of this bottle into the a chocolate chip dough I made yesterday. Wow, that was a very nice result. Very moist and the rum/orange flavours added a lot to the final result.

06.2024 First impression: Orange! Nose: orange, fruit Taste: tangy, fruit sticks Finish: short Overall impression: fruity liqueur 2022 Very sweet, strongly flavored, Jamaica can be guessed at best - more of a dessert than for pure enjoyment. I use it to drizzle over pastries and as a topping for desserts.
Review by Gregor
"If I wanted a rum that tasted artificially of or age and was far too sweet, I would have ordered Don Papa" The coconut note in this one is exciting. But otherwise not recommended at all.
Review by heckto🥃
Kaum zu glauben, dass das hier als Rum bezeichnet wird. Sehr, sehr süß und aromatisiert. Das Einzige was hier in der Nase und am Gaumen dominiert ist Orange, Kokos und Zucker. Wer Zitrusfruchtlikör mag, wird ihn lieben - mein Ding ist es nicht.
Review by reina
All about orange. Tropical, fruity with strong orange and also some coconut - in the nose and the taste. Nothing else. The finish is even more tropical with strong coconut flavours. Don‘t know if this is a orange flavoured rum, at least it tastes like one. Definitely not for every day sipping, but for some cocktails.
Review by rum_sk
That is just too much. I gave it to my wife who liked it very much. But this one is waaaaay to sweet. Do not recommend. Palate and nose is orange that is for sure and the rest is just plain sugar. It is even hard for me to swallow. Maybe the Jamaican version is better but this one is just awful.
Review by Johannes
Wie ein Orangen Sirup mit ein bisschen Alkohol. Viel zu süß!
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Original impressions from 2017 rum calendar. Nose: **** Taste: **** Overall: **** I’m not gonna lie, I like the sweet coconut taste but to be honest this is more of a liqueur or apertif than a rum. Very clear nose and palate of coconut and orange. Very smooth. I might have overrated this rum a bit back in 2018 but in my defense I hadn’t tasted that many different rums back then and hey, I still like this one :)

Review by Nick Gerrard
Thoroughly pleasant but nothing to write home about. Tastes like a sweet orange liqueur, no surprises.
Review by Kamil Čmiel
Velká porce pomerančů. Někteří cítí výrazně jiné citrusové plody. Není to špatné pití.
