Splash it into cola or a cocktail and it comes alive: massive overripe banana up front, brown sugar, cocoa and vanilla, with a candy-gummy sweetness one taster pegged as "künstliche Haribo-Banane." Sip it neat and a few enjoy the dessert-like ride, but the sweetness turns syrupy fast and the alcohol sits a little rough. Fun, banana-forward, and honestly closer to a flavored liqueur than a classic rum.
The community says- Huge banana flavor
- Fun for mixing
- Keep in mind: Very sweet

How does William Grant & Sons Discarded Spirits Banana Peel Rum taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet banana-candy rum, best mixed People agree on the banana — huge, ripe, a bit artificial. Great mixed into cola or cocktails; neat it reads very sweet and syrupy, and many feel it barely tastes like rum.

Nice but very sweet, good for a few but not a bottle

So this time, when ordering rum and co, I decided against a bad tasting glass and opted for a SpiritDrink. There's not much to say about this sample: sweet, alcoholic, banana and artificial. For me, it doesn't work at all neat, in an espresso, well. Will end up in the rum drawer for baking.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Alcohol not particularly well integrated, overall somewhat artificial after rubber bananas and slightly sour. I was hoping for much more! But super tasty for cocktails and a cool idea with a zero waste background!
Review by Timo Groeger
Unsurprisingly, it tastes strongly of banana :-) The nose has a rather fruity banana smell and the same on the palate. A great long drink when mixed with cola, better than expected on its own, but not much to do with rum.
Review by Johannes
Artificial Haribo banana
Review by andy
I love bananas so I really enjoy this, very sweet and overwhelming banana
Review by Schnapsschuesse
The banana goes here brute forward. Of course, so overripe and with 'ner good portion of chocolaty cake there. Wonderfully wacky, very exciting nose.In the mouth then very sweet, but despite the just 37.5% with some alcoholic sharpness on the way. But that goes very directly into the roasted flavors and a huge influence of the bourbon barrels.I personally like it, but you have to be aware of what you're getting into. Then it can be fun, especially when mixing.
Review by ThreeH
Well, what can you say. Nomen est omen. Banana Peel. Nose and palate just banana and sweetness. If you love banana, you'll like this drink too. If you're looking for a serious rum—stay away. I can definitely imagine it for all kinds of mixer experiments where you want to inject banana aroma or for a banana split... It will find its lovers, but this is not rum.
Review by Andreas Egge
Tastes surprisingly like banana. On the nose you get a pretty fruity banana smell and the same on the palate. Mixed with cola definitely a great long drink. Just doesn't have much to do with rum.
Review by Anonymous
A wonderfully mild rum that you can enjoy well after dinner as a dessert.
Review by René Müller
The banana really first comes out in the finish
Review by Thomas Williams
On the nose there is strong banana, but to taste it's much more subtle - still there nevertheless. Notes of vanilla come through but the taste quickly dissipates leaving the fruit flavours lingering on the nose. I love the story behind the rum and actually would like to cook with this rum and mix it into cocktails more than drink it neat or with a mixer.
Review by David J M
Made primarily from banana skins this tastes of banana and toffee - not too sweet excellent over ice or on its own
Review by Anonymous
You can very strongly taste the banana. Like banana gummies, so it tastes very sweet like candy.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose smacks you with bananas coated in cocoa powder and brown sugar. Very sweet palate. Bananas, obviously, but more complex than the nose. Cappuccino, vanilla and cola. In the finish the cola notes take over the bananas. It a short finish though. Not terrible. It's syrupy and clogging but I'm sure it would work buried in fruit juice. Nothing on La Hechicera's Banana Rum.
Review by DruNierer
Delicious banana treat
Review by Juris Sumskis
Very pleasant nose palate of banana, a little bit spicy on the taste but very soon hits with banana finish. As I like to drink rum neat this one goes in very smooth while sipping
Review by Kohni
Strong sweetness. Although the initial aroma and taste of banana is impressive, it later impresses with a rather unpleasantly high sweetness and is otherwise rather empty. A nice taste for in between or to present something "unusual" but rather too tepid for fine enjoyment.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Unfortunately, the alcohol is surprisingly poorly integrated and the taste is also too sweet. Lots of banana, somewhat artificial in places. Great cocktail ingredient.
