Review by Timo Groeger
Had actually expected worse, but this rum is just borderline for pure enjoyment. I think it has become too sweet. You can smell and taste chocolate and it somehow comes across as dark.

Top price performance rum for Cuba libre
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is an excellent rum to make a dark and stormy. 5 cl rum 10 cl ginger beer 1 cl fresh lime juice Slice of lime for decoration
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: On the nose it is very mild with a light fruit, floral, spice and oak mixture with hints of Sake. Taste reveals a sweetness with stronger spice and oak notes with a reasonable alcohol presence. It feels oily as it coats your mouth. Finish is medium with a mild bitterness and a spice with mild oak notes. It is a little confusing and a very different rum overall. This might be better suited mixed or in a cocktail. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose Dusty old Pepsi-Zero. Tastes like dusty old Pepsi Zero. There is a little underlying hint of that Sake-like flavour. Finish is short. Not really any more enjoyable mixed…

Review by Schnapsschuesse
Fruit, wood, dark roasted aromas to coffee in the nose. I am impressed, I had expected less.In the mouth then unfortunately thin, edgy, slightly bitter and burnt. Huge discrepancy. After the back out's something scratchy. For long drinks, however, this can be quite fun.
Review by MoMcGurk
Some hints of oak, but the burn overpowers it. Was not great mixed. A nice bottle design, but I’m not a big fan of screw tops.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Vanille, Holz, Karamell und leichte Frucht im Geruch. Im Geschmack habe ich die fruchtige Süße im Vordergrund, Karamell und leicht vanillig eher zurückgefahren, Holz quasi keines. Leicht alkoholische Schärfe im Abgang. Drinks: - Pur: 3/5 - Rum Cola: 3/5

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
"It adds a slight coconut/almond (again) note. Tanduay Gold Asian Rum isn't particularly expensive. So it may be worth a punt if you like a slightly "nutty" light rum. I do think there is something more going on here than just the original distillate and barrel ageing. Not bad per..."Read full review →
