Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is somewhat typical of a Central American rum with lots of raisin, caramel, and wood. The palate follows 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 it’s a good rum. I would love to try something from this distillery with more age and at a higher ABV. All of this rum’s shortcomings could be solved by that.

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.

All my Tastings and Scores are purely based on “Rums under £50”. I rarely look at Rums over £50 for my YouTube.
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 GRUNERT Fabrice
very good. strong alcoholic taste and a strong caramel scent. taste buds on the side of the mouth.
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 Leslie Haigh
really injoyed this as a sipped
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 zabo
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 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 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...
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 Maximo Höger
