Delicious banana treat

Ein herrlich milder Rum den man gut nach dem Essen als Nachtisch genießen kann
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.

Nice but very sweet, good for a few but not a bottle
Review by andy
I love bananas so I really enjoy this, very sweet and overwhelming banana
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 Kohni
Starke Süße. Wenn auch anfangs beeindruckende Banane in Geruch und Geschmack besticht er später doch durch eher unangenehm hohe Süße und sonst eher leer. Ein netter Geschmack für zwischendurch oder zum Präsentieren etwas „Ausgefallenem“ jedoch eher zu lau für feine Genüsse.
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 zabo
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 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.

You can very strongly taste the banana. Like banana gummies, so it tastes very sweet like candy.
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 René Müller
The banana really first comes out in the finish

"Unfortunately, the alcohol is surprisingly poorly integrated and the taste is also too sweet. Lots of banana, somewhat artificial in places. Great cocktail ingredient."
