Capitan Bucanero Elixir

First surprise: at 34% ABV this drinks more like a sweet liqueur than a traditional rum. One taster nailed it as a "sweet walnut-apricot liquer" — think apricot, plum, raisin and cherry laid on thick, with a soft, round body. The sugar is front and center, which some enjoy and others find gets in the way of everything else.

The community says
  • Soft and round
  • But: Added sugar
  • But: Too sweet for some

This was just a random extra sweet sip experiment with Bucanero. I’m not the target group, I just tasted it from curiosity. Well the suchar was everywhere, little cherry notes on palate, but very far from drinkable experience.

Dominican Republic 

Avg Rating 7.1/10 over 800 Rums

The Dominican Republic makes Caribbean rum the easy-drinking way. Its style is light, column-distilled and with Cuban roots, built around ageing in the tropical heat rather than the heavy funk of Jamaica or Guyana. Dozens of familiar brands fill the shelves, yet only two big distilleries still distil here, and many labels age spirit bought from them or from abroad.
