Camuy Ron Marca Palo Viejo
"Endlich mal etwas runder" — one taster's relief sums this old Puerto Rican up: light column rum where the barrel finally shows through. Vanilla, honey and a bit of plum sit over soft wood, then a short finish. A couple of members got a lovely nectarine daiquiri out of it; neat, most find it thin and a touch spirity.
The community says- Soft vanilla-honey
- But: Thin and watery
- But: Spirity finish

How does Camuy Ron Marca Palo Viejo taste?
Aggregated from 16 community reviews.
Light, vanilla-and-plum Puerto Rican, thin neat Middling verdict: pleasant and easy but light and watery neat, with the alcohol poking through. Several rate it more of a Cuba Libre pour than a sipper.

Review by Leo Krüper
Ein erstes kleines Highlight im Tasting. Man schmeckt zum ersten Mal die Fasslagerung leicht heraus. Endlich mal etwas runder mit gut integriertem Alkohol.

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 cigares
Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A fruity nose with plum and alcohol. On the palate, some fruit, apple and plum, and neutral alcohol. The finish is a little longer than previous rums, with a sort of apple alcohol remaining for quite a long time. The wood is very well integrated. The neutral alcohol is too pronounced throughout the tasting to give a good score.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting - riecht anfangs wie ein gealterter Bacardi Blanca. Den Fasseinfluss schmeckt man nun stärker, daneben die typischen Vanille und Süßaromen. Alkohol kommt im Abgang etwas durch.

23.02.25 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Danke an Artur für die tolle Gelegenheit und Mühe. Nase verbrannter Zucker, Vanille aber auch etwas leicht metallisches? Mund eher dünn, feine Würze mit kurzem Abgang.

Review by LukaŽiga
4,8:On the nose, the first impression we get is very alcoholic, a bit metallic, then with roasted wood, some wood spice, tobacco and honey, plum. 6,4:On the palate, the attack is more pleasant with dried fruits, plum, apple, caramelized wood and chocolate, vanilla, molasses brings some tobacco. 6,2:The finish is medium long, with dry wood, vanilla, tannic, some apples and quite alcoholic...
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Insgesamt eine definitiv runde Nummer, die pur funktioniert ohne sonderlich aussagekräftig zu sein. Macht sich sicherlich gut im Cuba Libre & co, pur ist er mir allerdings ein Tick zu dünn und wässrig.
Review by Franzi
Flach, etwas sprittig sonst kommt aber nicht viel. Bisschen Vanille.
