Malteco Reserva Maya
RumX members highlight its inviting vanilla and caramel nose with marzipan and dried fruit. The palate is mild and sweet with caramel and toffee, hinting at brandy. Some find it quite sweet, so it shines mixed with cola. With around 20 community reviews and buyer confidence building, this 15-year Guatemalan rum suits fans of soft, dessert-leaning styles.
The community says- Vanilla and caramel
- But: On the sweet side

Review by Timo Groeger
I find this rum quite okay too. Maybe tastes a touch too sweet. Definitely you can taste vanilla and caramel, but as I said, a bit too sweet. But mixed with cola, it surely tastes great.
