Ronrico Gold Label 1960s
Most tasters land on "well made but simple" — pleasant caramel, vanilla and young oak with a bit of leather and tobacco, and the 43% gives it welcome backbone. Where it splits: some call it flat and one-dimensional, others enjoy it as easy sipping. One member said it makes a "surprisingly good" daiquiri. A tidy vintage Puerto Rican column rum, short on complexity.
The community says- Clean caramel & vanilla
- But: One-dimensional
- But: Lacks complexity

How does Ronrico Gold Label 1960s taste?
Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Straightforward caramel-vanilla sipper, great in a daiquiri Liked for its clean caramel-vanilla-oak profile and well-carried 43%, but several find it flat and lacking complexity. A straightforward sipper that shines most in a daiquiri.

06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!
Review by Mirco
Rum No. 3 Schokolade und junges Holz auf etwas biestiger Grundlage. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊
Review by LukaŽiga
6,3:On the nose, this one feels better, with burnt sugar, sweet, roasted wood gives us also a caramel, spicy vanilla, pastry, leather, as a molasses brings some tobacco, there are yellow fruits. 6,7:On the palate, quite pleasant attack with roasted wood notes as burnt sugar, caramel, spicy vanilla, dry and quite round, with leather and tobacco, yellow fruits and a bit mineral. 6,4:The finish is medium long, dry with spicy and roasted wood notes, tobacco and yellow fruits..
Review by cigares
Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez plutôt neutre mais on sent les fruits jaunes, le miel, le caramel, la vanille, le chêne et l’alcool neutre. La bouche c’est douce, pas trop diluée avec, comme au nez, du bois, de la vanille et des fruits jaunes. La finale est courte avec du sucré à la fin. Un rhum bien fait mais qui manque cruellement de complexité.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting - besser als die ersten beiden Rums. Selbe Aromen, aber einfach stärker (Vanille, Karamell, Holz und etwas würze). In der Nase spürt man den Alkohol, im Mund nicht. Im Daiquiri annehmbar

23.02.25 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Danke an Artur für die tolle Gelegenheit und Mühe. Schöne Vanillenoten in der Nase, leicht fruchtig. Im Mund dann feine Würze, verbrannten Zucker und eine gute Integration der 43%.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Grundsolider gut gemachter Rum aus Puerto Rico. Der erhöhte Alkoholgehalt hilft hier durchaus, ist aber sehr angenehm zu trinken. Macht pur eine gute Figur und sicherlich auch top im Cuba Libre & co. Lecker!
Review by Leo Krüper
Wieder etwas künstliche, leicht nussige Aromen. Leider schlecht integrierter Alkohol. Ansonsten recht solide. Im Daiqiri performt er sehr gut.
Review by Alex1981
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Sehr solide! Caramel, Vanille mit angenehmer Süße, leichtes Holz und die 43% bringen eine angenhme Intensität dazu. Gefällt mir
