People with a sweet tooth are the real audience here. At 34% this drinks more like a rum liqueur than a traditional rum, and everyone says so: honey, raisins, caramel and vanilla piled on thick, "sweet raisins in the bottle." Fans call it rum-and-raisin in a glass; anyone chasing dry, funky rum will be let down.
The community says- Rum-and-raisin flavor
- Keep in mind: Added sugar
- Keep in mind: Very sweet

How does Legendario Elixir de Cuba taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet, more liqueur than rum Sweet-tooth crowd loves it, purists don't. Almost everyone agrees it's a rum liqueur, not a rum: honey, raisin and sugar in every sip. Great over ice cream, less so neat if you want real rum.

Good only to put in coffee! Good for those who have never tasted rum nor distilled spirits in general.Aroma too sweet to bear.It is not a rum, but a rum-based distillate, in fact it is called elixir.
Review by LukaŽiga
7:On the nose, it's sweet and warm. The notes of macerated grapes, raisins are complimented by vanilla and light tobacco notes with some glue, other fruits, woody and metallic addition. 6,8:On the palate, the liquorish attack is strong. Vanilla and caramel combined with discreet fruity(macerated grapes) notes make up the profile with spicy, herbal and honey notes. There is also a touch of alcohol. 7:The finish is moderately long and marked by sweetness and roundedness inspite of the sweet rum profile. It is a pleasant, easy sipper for evenings, though some find the aroma and taste of glue to be a bit off-putting. It also goes nice with some Cohiba.🏖️.
Review by zabo
Tried the CubaLibre again after a long time. It can be done, but I'm now used to other things as a mixer, so oh well. But better than many other rums from the supermarket shelf. It's not really anything on its own. Fortunately, you can always find people who are happy to receive a gift like this 😅
Review by heckto🥃
I find it hard to apply the rating scale of a rum since it’s not a rum but a stronger liqueur. I’ll try anyway. On the nose sweet-vanilla. On the palate even sweeter honey. My wife loves it, for me it’s too sweet.
Review by Dr.Django
A fantastic design that carries the name "Legendario" with it. My sample had a Cuba flag made of fabric wrapped around the neck of the bottle. The rum is incredibly sweet. Some dark chocolate on the finish. Undrinkable neat.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
06.2024 First impression: warm, soft, sweet, round, nice legs in the glass Nose: rich dried fruits, raisin, honey, spices, delicious Palate: very sweet, more honey and dried fruits, a bit of barrel, vanilla, aromas flowing from all directions Finish: short, slight extension of all aromas Overall impression: almost like a syrup but a tasty one. Many typical, light rum aromas.
Review by w00tAN
Elexir de Cuba, not a rum and does not pretend to be one. Interesting alternative for those who drink dessert wines, port or sherry. Who expects rum will be very disappointed. 60/100 because it is pleasant to drink and unlike other sugar plörre never claimed to be a rum.
Review by Jakob Deiner
My absolute favorite among rum liqueurs and together with Plantation XO my by far favorite pure spirit. Pleasant sweetness, yet nicely "rummy" (vanilla, raisins, some wood), goes down like oil. Hard to believe, but it also makes an amazing mojito, my favorite even before various white rums (Plantation 3 Stars, Havana 3). Drinks: - Neat: 5/5 - On ice: 5/5 - Cuba Libre: 4/5 - Rum Cola: 4/5 - Rum Mule: 4/5 - Mojito: 5/5
Review by Максим Веслополов
I'm not sure this can be called a full-bodied rum, but it's tasty. There is a little too much sweetness, though.
Review by Gregor
JoA I always thought ah rise was the ultimate sweetener. But this is the bottom of the barrel. It's just sugar with a little bit of sugar added. Definitely not suitable for diabetics
Review by Business Liner Ralf
Nice little liqueur! 😊
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
More like a liqueur than a rum. Certainly okay for mixing.
Review by Kieron Wood
Right I know that this is technically not a rum due to being 34%, but this is top shelf stuff an incredible value for money and lovely. Wow o wow that rum and raisen pairing
Review by Leo Krüper
No rum, therefore difficult to evaluate. Good to use as a liqueur dessert. Also great to pour over ice cream sundaes.
Review by Old Pirate 🏴☠️🇨🇿
It's Legendario, everybody knows what is it. Sweet raisins in the bootle :-)
Review by Franklin
Very sweet and thick liquid.
Review by Tim
Can hardly pass as rum, if then a high-proof liqueur. Despite only 34% a biting nose of alcohol, so probably infinitely sugared fuel! In any case, "tasty" and round, if you want something extremely sweet times.
Review by H1ldegunst
Sweet, sweet and sweet again. Sweetness in all forms. In the smell, in the taste and also in the finish really, really sweet. If you can handle that, then it doesn't taste too bad and after some time you also recognize a few other aromas. Sweet honey. Sweet raisins. Thick candied and glazed raisins. Sweet wood. 😅 You just have to get into it. Lower your expectations and enjoy pure sugar massacre.
Review by David Fletcher
Love it. Sweet and smooth
Review by Stefan Schrage
If you don't expect a real rum, this one is really tasty. Classic rum - raisins and sweet. So it's also easy to drink. But it's also dangerous... Once you start... 😁
Review by MJ72
Reserved in smell, very sweet on the palate. Overall rather flat, good beginner rum without highs and lows. Short finish
Review by Blaidor
Smell 6/10 Taste 4,5/10 Aftertaste 5,5/10 Image 5,5/10 (info about rum, bottle, carton-box, sugar free, marketing....) Total impression 5/10 ------------------ BTL Gallons of added sugar 👎👎👎, but marked elixir 👍 BTL Price 👍

Not a big fan of this one. Beat in mixed drinks

An excellent rum liqueur, best enjoyed at the end of a meal.

Sweet, gentle, you can't drink much of it.
Review by HenryL
Definitely not rum! Honey-sweet rum liqueur

Nice liqueur
Review by BartekGo
The best rum
Review by R Wehner
Nose sweet vanilla; tongue very very sweet, creamy, raisins, caramel, vanilla, sugar, sugar, sugar... best with/on vanilla ice cream ;)
Review by F. B.
Almost too sweet, I would prefer it a bit fruitier.
Review by keduwa
Very sweet, but also somehow unspectacular rum
Review by Wahooka
Very sweet, drink with ice or very chilled
Review by David Borovička
Juice for a good party.
Review by Martin Augustin
A well-intentioned gift. A rum-based spirit. A liqueur that has nothing to do with rum. At best, successful marketing for people who mean well with rum without knowing what rum is.
Review by Holger
Pungent on the nose, dried fruit. Then the opposite in the mouth, no spiciness, very very oily, raisins, dried fruit. Quite interesting in its category - flavored rum. A fruity, sweet rum.
Review by Anonymous
Extremely sweet. Good for cocktails, just add some fruit juice and you're done.
Review by Joca
Very sweet liqueur, almost unpleasant. Little rum aroma. More suitable for desserts or similar.
Review by Cameron Hotchkies
A little syrupy and sweet. More like a liqueur than I was expecting.
Review by Miňo
Liqueur, liqueur and once again liqueur, but very tasty 👍
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
If you want a Cuban rum liqueur, there's probably no way around this one. Solid mid-range.
Review by Helena
Provade på ett Casa del ron på Kuba. Alldeles för söt.
Review by Romulus
Jävligt söt. Inte stark

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review ›It also puts me in mind of Ron El Prohibido. A rum which is bottled after being aged in Raisin Wine barrels. That had a sweet yet strange after taste as well. I'm not a massive fan of this either from a Rum point of view (which it definitely isn't)...
