Review by Johannes
The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Künstlich, Glühweingewürz, Kirschsaft, Kräuter, süß.
Review by Mirco
Rum No. „Bonus“ Ziemlich Künstlich, dennoch ein interessanter Sipper mit Kirsche und Menthol. 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
5,5:On the nose, the first impression we get is nice, as we might think, we have a maderia finish rum in front but...., we are quickly disappointed with a lot of artifical flavours.We notice red fruits, a lot of sweetness, caramel, baking spices and herbal aromas. 4,7:On the palate, the attack is intense and synthetic, sweet and syrupy with cherry, caramel, herbaceous, baking spices and menthol. 4,6:The finish is sweet, medium long, bitter with licorice, herbal notes, sugar and cherry...

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!

23.02.25 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Danke an Artur für die tolle Gelegenheit und Mühe. Wildes Zeug ein Mix aus Jägermeister, Berliner Luft als Likör bei dem enthaltenen Zucker ... nicht meins
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Absolut wildes historisches Gemisch hier gegebenfalls aus der NS Zeit. Puerto Rico rum (vielleicht?) aus Budapest irgendwie im Zwack unicum Kräuter Likör Fass ausgebaut😅 schmeckt wie Wick Menthol Kirsch Bonbons oder ein amaro mit Frucht und Kräuter Einschlag. Wildes Zeug.
Review by Leo Krüper
Künstliche, dunkle Lakritz Aromen. Touristen Abzocke.
Review by Alex1981
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Kopfschmerzen in Flaschenform. Extrem künstlich, süß, Sirup artig. Kirschlollies in flüssig. Will nocht wissen was da alles an Zusätzen drin ist 🤪
Review by cigares
Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. Rum? Nothing like it here: synthetic cherry on the nose, candy, wood and alcohol. The palate combines artificial cherry and plum aromas, wood, alcohol and sugar. In no particular order, of course. The finish is ultra-short, and bitter herbs remain. A house blend of bitter herb liqueur, neutral alcohol, wood chips, Ricola candy, sugar and vanillin. A few points for originality.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Bonus - hat mit Rum nichts mehr zu tun. Künstlich und Süße sind die einzigen Aromen; hat etwas von Kuchenmischung in Neutralalkohol. Kläre Empfehlung: Bitte nicht kaufen!
Review by Banana Joe
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting. Erstmal vielen Dank für die ganze Arbeit die du immer in diese Tastings steckst. Sehr lehrreich und spannend. Zum Rum: Wilde Mischung aus künstlichen Aromen, kurz gesagt Plörre 😉

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"While putting the Puertorico tasting together, this popped up on ebay, i had to buy it. this is a horrible experience of artificial cherry. A weird musty falvour adds while tasting. and then just the weird artificial aroma aftertaste. Daiquiri: Caprisun Cherry in whatever 0/5, Did not finish."
