Pour this blind and you might guess red wine, not rum. The wine-cask finish dominates from nose to finish — grape, tannin, a floral agricole edge underneath — and that's the whole debate here. One taster loved the tannin-and-wood grip and called it surprisingly complex for 43.5%; others say the cask "finished it to death" and left it thin and one-note. Cane-juice base, Okinawa-made.

The look inside the bottle
How does Okinawa Santa Maria Voyage #01 2018 taste?
Summarized by AI from 10 community reviews.
Red-wine-cask agricole, grape-heavy and thin Divisive. Wine-lovers find grape and tannin worth chasing; most tasters say the red-wine cask buries the agricole and the body runs thin. Middling scores tell the story.

Very exciting! Fruity red grape, typical Agricole notes, but not too floral, finish with tannins and wood like an older Saint James. An amazing amount of flavor and complexity for the low percentage.

Unfortunately, once again I can't say a good word about this rum. For me, it's another prime example of how you can completely finish off the basic ingredient. I can really only taste red wine here, unfortunately nothing more, the other notes are more than subtle in the background. Must have been a very wet cask. The rest simply sunk into the cola.
Review by RumTaTa
Nose: Spanish style, I would say. But with lots of fruit, especially white grapes, sweetness, very pleasing. Gives the impression of a column still rum, not very complex. Palate: maple syrup, cask, mild Again I think I have a column still rum in my glass, probably from Central America. Alcohol content approx. 50% Very barrel-like finish All in all not my cup of tea but not bad either. Therefore 6.5 as my rating
Review by Serge
Phew ... red wine on the nose. On the palate, the agricole notes that I don't like so much join in. It's also a little thin. Not bad in terms of craftsmanship (the wood is nice, for example), but it doesn't meet my taste across the board. Sorry.
Review by kondgab
Feels like drinking red wine
Review by Alex Kunath
Smell: You immediately notice the red wine barrel finish on the nose. If it weren't for the smell of Agricole rum, it could also be a red wine. Taste: The red wine barrel is also very clear on the tongue. Fruity floral notes are also well represented. The alcohol is well integrated. Conclusion: If you like red wine, you will like this rum. I prefer white wine...
Review by Alexander Rasch
Uhhh... What is that. The cask took over everything on the nose. Very intense with lots of wood and wine notes. On the palate then alcoholic and somehow artificial with many bitter substances. The texture is also thin. This is not tasty and not fun.
