Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum 5 Solera
Sipped neat or after dinner, this is a soft, sweet molasses rum built around ripe banana, vanilla, coconut and a touch of caramel, with some port-like fruit. Several tasters call it a fun, easygoing sweet rum that pairs well with a dessert or a cigar. The catch: a few find the finish artificial and musty, and many simply find it too sweet.
The community says- Ripe banana aroma
- But: Too sweet for many
- But: Artificial, musty finish

Review by Stefan Persson
The nose wasn’t pleasant, but much better in mouth. The nose is fruity and round with an aroma of port. At the palate and during the rather long finish it’s fruity, dry and sweet with flavors of port. The finish is quite long and fruity.
Review by heckto🥃
In der Nase ein sehr angenehm fruchtiger Duft. Am Gaumen kommen Kokos, Vanille und tropische Früchte dazu. Es wäre ein guter Süßrum, wenn da nicht dieser künstlich, modrige Abgang wäre. Für diese Preisklasse OK, gibt aber bessere.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
For a 5 year old rum this is a pretty good result. This is a blend of different destillates from the island! This is a rum in the sweet end of the spectrum and maybe too sweet for many. A sweet well blended rum.
Review by LV Anonyme
Je prend sa défense! A mon goût c'est un rapport qualité prix très intéressant (66€ en France). Rond, doux avec des fines notes de café et de coco. Un coup de cœur pour moi et de nombreux autres clients. C'est un plaisir coupable, un rhum festif a boire entre amis ou avec un cigare. Bien que plus amateur de rhum complexe, il ne m'a pas laissé indifférent

Ce laisse boire, c'est pas un rhum exceptionnel, sûrement bon avec un dessert
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
Ca reste très doux et sucré, moins chimique que l’autre, mais clairement pas un moment de plaisir..
