Starr Medine Estate Ultra Superior Light African Rum
If you want something that barely tastes like rum, this is the oddity — a Mauritius column-still spirit that lands somewhere near cherry fruit brandy. Marzipan, sour cherry and almond lead, with a little nutmeg and ginger behind. One member nailed it: liquid Mon Cheri with white chocolate. Light-bodied and soft at 40%, more curiosity than everyday pour.
The community says- Cherry-marzipan nose
- Unusual character
- Keep in mind: Tastes like brandy

Cherry-marzipan oddity, more brandy than rum Too few verdicts for a clear consensus, but the ones here agree on the cherry-marzipan oddity — fun and unusual, though several say it reads more like fruit brandy than rum.

#7243 29.08.2026 Tasted at the German Rum Festival 2026. When looking at the price tag this is actually a very good rum. Amazing that they were able to filtrate out the colour of a 6 year old casked rum. My quick notes while tasting. Sweet, round, fruits, spice, ginger, chocolate, herbs, marzipan.

Spirits fair Aquavitae Mülheim October 2026. Last year I was here for the first time and I really liked it, so I'm going to this fair again this year. Wow, insanely much cherry thanks to the finish.
