Aroma visualization from community tastings
The Demon's Share La Reserva Del Diablo
Sweet-tooth drinkers and Don Papa fans are the crowd here. Candied orange leads everything — nose and palate — backed by vanilla, caramel and a spicy kick that stays into the finish. One taster nailed it as "candied orange, vanilla and butter" like panettone. Plenty of members flag an artificial, bubblegum edge, so it's a flavored-style pour more than a classic Panama rum.
The community says- Candied orange
- Vanilla and caramel
- But: Tastes artificial

Sweet, candied-orange rum, Don Papa style Divisive. Sweet-rum and Don Papa fans enjoy the candied orange and vanilla, especially on ice or in a highball; others find it too artificial and one-note to sip seriously.

I can't cope with it, very artificial in taste. Very dominant orange-like note, some vanilla, some wood. there are much better ones on the market Quickly fill something else into the glass.
Review by LukaŽiga
6,3:On the nose, the opening is with a candied orange peel.It is reminiscent to confectionery, with a sweetness and a caramel, vanilla and bubblegum, bakingspices. On aeration some baked sugar pops up, marshmallows, some wood, a hint of solvents, almonds. 6:On the palate, the orange flavours and caramel are attacking us in combination, with wood notes like an almond, then confectionery shows, sugar notes, baking spices, there is some toasted coconut. 5,8:The finish is soft, quite short and fruity, some sweetness remains...

#5740 29.09.2025 Day three of the Whisky Live 2025, which this year looks better organized/arranged inside. This is also a very sweet rum with light wood. The sweetness is supported by some caramel, orange and a annoying perfume note that I don't like.
Review by Miňo
Better than Don Papa, for sure.
Review by Timo Groeger
Not necessarily much worse than the 12 year old. It has vanilla and caramel on the nose and palate. It also tastes relatively sweet. But within limits. Hardly any difference to the 12 year old.
Review by Sam 🥃
A spicy rum, good as a gourmet digestif or aperitif. The nose is very pastry-like, with citrus, vanilla and spice notes. The palate is syrupy, almost thick, with notes of citrus and spice. The finish is in keeping with the theme. It will appeal to all those who like the Don Papa style, without the over-sweetness but with more spice. For the same price, I'd go for a Bumbu. A very pleasant thing is to let its aromas evaporate in the room, a smell of cookie will emerge, I like it a lot. I'll gladly leave my share to the demons. 😈
Review by Loris Bozzetti
Für mich ein sehr spezieller Rum (im positiven Sinne). In der Nase sehr süss und fruchtig, mit einem sehr eigenen Charakter. Im Mund schmekt er total anders. Ich kann es nicht wirklich beschreiben, aber ich hätte nie gedacht, dass Rum so schmecken kann. Für mich immer wieder ein genuss.
Review by TheJackDrop
Too much sugar and banana
Review by primus
You take a sniff and get this chewing gum Don Papa Vibe ad hoc. Phew... Exactly the same taste, only more. Distilled jam. I sometimes wonder why they do that to a 6-year-old rum.
Review by FrankvBeek
14-9-24 this is my favorite Rum from the past year. The flavour is amazing. It might be a little Sweet for the average drinker. But on ice it is perfectly balanced.
Review by Dunzi
Certainly a rum (not only) for the ladies' world. Lots of fruit (similar to Don Papa Baroko), for me a good change from the classic rum varieties. Great price-performance ratio.
Review by Tomáš Molnár
Amazing vanilla smell, sweet taste, just a little spicy
Review by Michal S
Nothing fancy, very simple sweet rum with tons of added orange flavour.
Review by Cédric Meyers
C'est très épicés, pas mon trip. Vanillé, très sur l'orange.

Haaaat ha szereted a fűszeres rumokat akkor végülis nem fogsz csalódni, de ha igazi rum szerető vagy, akkor ez nem a te rumod lesz. Nekem nagyon nem természetes se az íze se az illata. Illatra vanília, narancs, rágógumi. Ízre szerencsére nem túl édes de ez a sok mű íz… ha valaki szereti a rumos rágógumit annak favorit
Review by frseec
Ein Rum nach meinem Geschmack. Ähnlich einem Don Papa nur besser, aber auch schärfer. Beim Geruch kommt die Orange sehr stark durch und auch Zuckerwatte. Der Geschmack wird ebenfalls von Süße und Orange angeführt, aber hier kommt auch die Schärfe hinzu, welche auch im Abgang bleibt und hier langsam in Zitrusnoten umschwenkt.
