Aroma visualization from community tastings
Hogerzeil Marianne de Paraguay
Paraguay is the surprise here — not a country you see on many shelves. What lands in the glass is a spicy-fruity molasses rum with baked-apple and Calvados hints, fruitcake and toffee, backed by baking spices. The palate starts thin, then opens into orange peel and vanilla. Several tasters flag a sharp, alcohol-forward nose that needs 20 minutes to settle, and a finish some call artificial.
The community says- Apple & spice notes
- Calvados hint
- But: Sharp on the nose

How does Hogerzeil Marianne de Paraguay taste?
Aggregated from 19 community reviews.
Spicy apple-and-molasses rum, sharp on the nose Opinions run middling and honest: interesting apple-and-spice notes, but the heat and a sweetish, artificial finish keep pulling scores down. The cask-strength version beats the reduced one.

Review by Alex1981
Recht verhaltene Nase mit Süßstoff, Apfel, Vanille & Ledernoten. Balancierter Gaumen mit Zuckerrohr, Karamell dunkle & helle Früchte, eine leichte Grasigkeit. Gut integrierter Alkohol, die 54% hätte ich nicht erraten. Finish eher süß und künstlich, ruiniert leider den ansonsten guten Eindruck.
Review by Frank
The cask strength compared to the reduced version.Nose: much more volume; the aromas come through better. Spicy-fruity with apple. Almost goes in the direction of Calvados. Plus a musty vanilla note with some plum behind it. No clear spices, more of a baking spice again. Has a basic sweetness, of fruit bread, candied orange peel and toffee.Palate: clear, here comes 54% now clearly more than with only 40%. A bit thin at first, but then interesting spicy-fruity hints. Anise, light nutmeg and a mixture of baking spices. In addition, something vegatibles from San and vlt. thyme. In fruit again most likely apple and some lemon peel. Sweetness of molasses, candied orange peel and anise.Clearly better than the watered-down sister and also better than expected. Still does not pick me up!
