Destilería Huasteca Ron Potosi Añejo
Mostly one for curiosity hunters — a Mexican rum that turns up in blind tastings more than on shelves. It's thin and light on the palate, with vanilla, soft wood and a milk-chocolate note that shows up briefly and leaves fast. At 38% there's not much body to hold it together, and the finish is short to almost gone. A country-tick more than a keeper.
The community says- Soft milk chocolate
- But: Very thin body
- But: Finish fades fast

How does Destilería Huasteca Ron Potosi Añejo taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Thin, light Mexican rum with a fading finish Members land low and agree on why: thin, watery and short, with one calling the 38% "it's downfall". Interesting to try once, not one people restock.

Zu allererst einmal ein DICKES DANKESCHÖN an TheDunderHut, wieder bei dem Wird&Blind Set dabei gewesen zu sein. Zusammen mit DomM wurde sich dieser Aufgabe gestellt. Leider kein Einhorn dabei gewesen, aber tolle rare Sachen probiert, an die man sonst nicht so gut rankommt. Einzig die Geschichten zu jeden einzelnen Rum des Spliters dazu habe ich wirklich vermisst zu.

Arturs weird and blind tasting Nummer 2. Etwas Vanille und eine leichte Holznote. Auch hier recht dünn. Abgang ist nicht existent. Bislang das schwächste Sample, aber wann bekommt man mal solche Exoten ins Glas.
Review by Johannes
Weird and Blind tasting @Artur: Recht dünn, leichte Holznoten, Milchschokolade.
Review by Fuwi
Ich mag ja Blind Tastings und freue mich neue Sachen kennen zu lernen, Rum aus Mexiko hat man auch nicht so oft im Glas! Aber wenn das die Referenz ist, wird es auch erstmal dabei bleiben - aber spannend mal was anderes probiert zu, gibt einen Länderpunkt und danke fürs Organisieren!

Very „Spanish“. Wood, vanilla and pretty thin. Not much going on.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Weird and Blind tasting #2 In the nose notes of sweetness and chocolate. In the mouth it is extremely soft. notes of milk chocolate and vanilla come up briefly in the mouth. the aftertaste is also short to almost non-existent.
