Beginners and anyone building a first bar tend to reach for this one. It's a soft, sweet Venezuelan column-still rum leaning caramel, vanilla, chocolate and raisin, with a woody edge on the back. The catch shows up on the palate: at 40% the alcohol reads a bit sharp and unintegrated, and several tasters call it thin and one-note. Many keep it as their everyday cola pour.
The community says- Caramel-chocolate nose
- But: Contains added sugar
- But: Alcohol not integrated

Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is somewhat typical of a central American rum with lots of raisin, caramel and wood. The palate sticks with the nose. Like a raisin reduction drizzled over wood. There's some alcohol burn in there though. The finish is quite subtle, as it all fades away quickly. It's nice with dark chocolate notes but not present for long. Overall its a good rum. I would love to try something from this distillery with more age and at a higher ABV. All of this rums shortcomings could be solved by that.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.

I also bought it back then as a starter rum, but I still think it tastes far too alcoholic and is very poorly integrated. After all, it was only transported to nirvana with lots of ice and cola.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
Tried to use this rum in a rum/raisin cake and the result was amazing. This is a rum in the cheaper end of the spectrum and it's definitely a good beginner rum. Not as sweet as the rums from Riise, but getting close to it. The nose is light and sweet with chocolate, vanilla and oak with a touch of butterscotch. The palate is sweet with chokolate and nougat, but it also has a slight bitterness with nuts and fruits. The endof the palate has smoke to it. The finish is sweet with smoky leather and vanilla. Price to quality is very good.
Review by LukaŽiga
6,5:The nose is dominated by caramel. More discreet notes of wood, coconut and chocolate, coffee are also present.Distant sherry... The alcohol titillates the nostrils despite the "small" 40%. 7,5:On the palate, the attack is smooth, and the aromas are in line with the nose, with caramel (still dominant), roasted/chocolate and wood, distant fruit. Coconut is replaced by tobacco, note of menthol, which make an appearance. 6,5:The finish is rather brief, with tobacco and discreet vanilla remaining for a few moments before fading away..
Review by Tim
Caramel with honey on the nose, but also some chocolate and fruit. The mouthfeel (<70) is not as good as the smell (~80), because very alcoholic sharp. Nevertheless, solid rum for the price and is good for mixing.
Review by heckto🥃
A sweet entry-level rum with honey, chocolate and vanilla notes. Not a taste explosion but for €20 you can't go wrong here. Not my thing neat but absolutely drinkable with cola or in other mixed drinks.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Great value for money with this guy. It has a pleasant smell, which to me stands out as kind of creamy. The barrel is pretty noticeable. Tasting, it again tastes surprisingly woody, as I can't imagine it being actually that old.
Review by Chrischi78
It is supposed to be a solid rum, but it does not set any particular accents in terms of aroma or taste. It may be sufficient for cocktails or uncomplicated enjoyment, but for rum lovers looking for depth and sophistication, there are better alternatives in this price range.
Review by w00tAN
Relatively inexpensive sweet rum for beginners. Personally, it is too sweet for me, the alcohol could be better integrated despite the 40% and, due to the sweetness mentioned, the spice and wood notes fade into the background.
Review by Henry Davies
This is a sweeter Spanish style rum, while not as sweet as some it has been dosed and hence has a slight syrupy element. That said it is a well blended rum and punches above its price point if you can get over the dosage. Nose is sweet and sugary, with treacle and chocolate notes, an easy mouth with some spice and barrel notes with caramel and brown sugar. Finish has more peppery alongside genteel carmamel and fades quickly. It’s an easy drinking rum but fairly unmemorable
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
05.2024 First impression: light, fruity aromas, beautifully intense mahogany color Nose: dried fruit, vanilla, wood Palate: rich aromas of dried fruit, raisin, vanilla, wood, Finish: continuation of the previous impressions Overall impression: rich, multi-layered, delicious, 100% rummy 201X? One of my first rums, on a journey of pleasure through almost all of Dave Broom's "Rum - the Manual"
Review by GRUNERT Fabrice
very good. strong alcoholic taste and a strong caramel scent. taste buds on the side of the mouth.
Review by Maxi
Nose: Very unspectacular. Light notes of berries. Taste: Sweet, very watery, the body is completely missing. Complexity is nowhere to be found. Finish: Short and alcoholic. Not very well integrated.
Review by Rick Meyer
This is quite tasty. Easy to drink. Nose: Molasses, caramel, butterscotch, raisins. Taste: Same as nose, sweet, dark chocolate, buttery, rich and smokey with zero burn. Delicious! Medium to Long finish.
Review by Djehey
Too sweet and artificial for my taste... I can smell the addition of artificial flavors and sugar masking poorly integrated alcohol. Still, it's less tampered with than a bumbu. But then, it's no dream... Especially when you have the 2006 Trois Rivières brut de fût next to it...

Quite flat
Review by Alexander Rasch
My RumRatings review from 5 years ago: I don't want to spend too much time on the rum. On the nose, it's a typical sweet rum. Not much happens there. Caramel and a bit of vanilla. Sugar syrup and some spices. All very subtle. On the palate, there's a lot of sweetness, caramel, baking spices, and some wood. Maybe a bit nutty too. Overall, it feels overly creamy and fades quickly. Good for Coke and more suitable for beginners when drinking neat. But at that price, you can't really expect much more.
Review by Stan Hardy
For just under 20€ you get a great rum for mixing that you can theoretically also enjoy neat
Review by Maximo Höger
Overall good with cola rather not necessarily pure enjoyable.
Review by Rum Diversity
Good rum, without being complex it has moderately interesting characteristics. The structured aroma with sensations of wood, cocoa, vanilla, caramel and traces of butter is pleasant but still lacks complexity. In the mouth it does not give off any better development than what is found on the nose.
Review by Nicolas Kröger
Really good. Solid rum with a great price, so plus points.
Review by Leslie Haigh
really injoyed this as a sipped
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
In my opinion, more suitable for mixing.
Review by Johannes G
At the time my entry into the premium rum segment and despite a well-filled bar, he will keep his place there. Maybe not super balanced and also really not complex. Still, nice wood and roasted flavors paired with some vanilla and fruit. Sweet but not necessarily too sweet. The Pampero goes actually always. Also a nice gift for beginners. Price-performance ratio is very good. For me next to the Smith

One-dimensional, somewhat watery
Review by Lukas K.
While leather is noticeable on the nose, the taste reflects rather sweeter notes. Still, in the background, slightly woody/peppery. Unfortunately, especially in the finish, a clear alcohol note can be tasted.
Review by Tim Reiber
A very good entry-level rum but sweetened with 16g/L sugar and contains an alcohol that is not well integrated. Sweet, caramel notes with chocolate, coconut and raisins run from the nose to the finish. It would be interesting to age this distillate for 20 years in an old sherry cask and bottle it at 55%.
Review by Sebastiaan Linssen
After revisiting this bottle after many years, I have to conclude that this is actually a decent rum spirit (deliberate choice of words) for it'd price. I think there is almost no better cheap rum that is a pleasant as this to mix or even sip (when to get drunk)
Review by Portman
Very robust and suitable for everyday use for a low-budget product. Heavy, chocolaty-sweet smell, sweet, vanilla-like raisin flavor. Overall too sweet for me, a little too dark and not complex enough, but still recommendable for the price.
Review by Dieter Herbert
Very pleasant classic rum, one of the best I've tried so far. Smooth, round, simply good and affordable too. We've had it several times now and it's really good, Cuba libre is great with it, upgraded from 7.5 to 8.2. Purchase recommendation, 20€ on Amazon, crazy
Review by Ondra Blahovec
Beautiful round bottle in leather. Pleasant rum for beginners when you want to limit sugars... the price of the rum is also favorable... the nose for me is smoky, maybe I also smell leather and wood. On the palate I taste caramel, smoke, nuts.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Often available for about twenty at the big 'A', so an absolute bargain. Also at normal price my price/performance winner. Fruity neat, but also spicier notes of a 'Dark Rum', pleasant and balanced sweetness. A class below Botucal RE, Don Papa 7, Plantation XO but not miles away. Works excellently for me as a mixer both for cola and ginger beer. Drinks: - Neat: 4/5 - Rum Fashioned: 4/5 - Rum Cola: 4/5 - Rum Mule: 4/5
Review by Solidfunk
Bought this a year or two ago and have been sipping away at it since. Oaky was pretty prominent in the beginning, but that has evened out more. Especially if I let it breathe. Quite a dark amber pour strawberries, blackberries. Maybe plum. It's growing on me, though supposedly tests show this was sugared a bit. Not sure it tastes that sweet, but could be.
Review by Anton Krioukov
A delicious Spanish style rum that doesn’t break the bank. A bit thin due to its lower proof, but full of intense flavors of caramel, raisin, and even some milk chocolate. Works fantastic as a split base with a Jamaican rum in a daiquiri. Possibly my favorite to use in a split base daiquiri.
Review by Thomas Krippgans
Great price-performance ratio. Tastes great, just a little too woody out back.
Review by Goodoboy30
Different from what I'm used to but really good. Best neat in my opinion.

Perfect for Cuba !!!

Nose is OK, chocolate and smoke. Flavor is bland, a little baking spices that develops with further sips but not much else.
Review by Stephan Groovy
Quite ok a little too contentious in the smell little intense for it very natural and unobtrusive.
Review by Oliver
To drink purely not a treat. As a mixer but quite tasty.
Review by Michael Schillheim
My personal favorite for mixing with cola and lime!

Review by Rumbaron
Can be used for Cuba Libre.
Review by Thorsten D.
A bit disappointed, the retest really let me down! I used to like it a lot. Now it's just average, either the recipe was changed like the Beutel or my taste has changed that much. Of course it's sweet, but it's lacking everywhere. It's really just so-so, the alcohol isn't really well integrated.
Review by pavlix vipax
Very gentle sweetness, but a bit technical, like proper oak, long, warm, alcohol integrated just barely... relatively flat, 16g sugar.
Review by Miňo
Can be drunk neat. I taste chocolate, vanilla, caramel. The finish is medium and quite nice.
