Aroma visualization from community tastings
Chamarel VS
"A light coconut-vanilla rum" is how one member sums it up, and that's the honest picture: soft nose of vanilla, caramel and honey, then coconut and sweet peach on the palate. A few taste banana and a whisky-like oak note. Others find it a touch bitter or "slightly artificial." Easy, gentle sugar-cane rum that doesn't ask much of you.
The community says- Coconut and vanilla
- Easy to drink
- But: Slightly bitter

Aggregated from 32 community reviews.
Light coconut-vanilla sipper, easy but simple Most find it pleasant and easy — coconut, vanilla, caramel, good after dinner. The catch: some catch a bitter, faintly artificial edge, and there's not a lot of depth to dig into.

Vanille Kokosnuss Banane
Review by Romain de L
Agreeable and easy to drink - pleasant as after dinner drink - but not much more to say
Review by Quentin Leseigneur
A light rum with notes of coconut and vanilla.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
I think this rum would be popular with whisky lovers because I get a hint of whisky in the mix. The nose is kind of sweet with oak and vanilla in the front trailed by banana, honey and caramel and a hint of anise. The palate is sweet with oak and spice, the vanilla is very obvious. Then comes mint chocolate, banana and honey. The finish is medium long and sweet with oak spices and tropical fruits. Price to quality is OK.
