Thomas Sontheimer T.Sonthi Barbados
"Liquid vanilla extract on crisp caramel," as one taster put it — that's this Barbados column-still bottle in a nutshell. Toffee, butterscotch and creme brulee pile on so hard that several members call it "more dessert than rum." One even compares it to sucking on a caramel candy. Oily texture, one-note, and the added sugar shows on the first sip.
The community says- Big vanilla-toffee
- Distinctive character
- But: High sugar content

How does Thomas Sontheimer T.Sonthi Barbados taste?
Aggregated from 44 community reviews.
Very sweet, caramel-candy dessert sipper Loved by sweet-tooth drinkers as a dessert in a glass; too sugary and one-dimensional for most, who say it drinks more like a caramel liqueur than a 10-year rum.

Anyone avoiding sugar or wanting a dry, classic Bajan rum

Noten von Vanille und Toffee gesellt sich gemeinsam mit einem Beiklang von Nüssen
Review by MarcT
Liquid vanilla extract on crisp Caramel plated Creme Brulee... And somewhere there is also rum in it. I am sure, one could have done this mix with other spirits as well, the added vanilla Caramel sweetness would have worked as well, maybe. It is very intense on the nose, and I usually have issues recognizing vanilla, it's here, and is stays for some time. This drink has added flavours and sugar, but I must confess... It's quite drinkable, like a dark red port, and not as overpowering and artificial as there is in other rum based drinks out there.

Sehr ausgeglichener und leichter Rum
Review by Lukas Jäger
Krass, wie sehr dieser Rum nach Karamellbonbons schmeckt. Wer die MuhMuh-Bonbons schon mal probiert hat, weiß wie dieser Rum schmeckt. Hier kann man auf jeden Fall von Alleinstellungsmerkmal sprechen. Mir allerdings um Welten zu süß, das mag ich einfach nicht. Weiterhin auch etwas eindimensional, wenn auch Tiefe und Komplexität sicher nicht der Anspruch dieser Abfüllung ist. Hat aber natürlich auch seine Fans.
Review by Galli33
Very Very sweet „rum“. After the first sip you’ll know they added sugar! Lovely vanilla taste. Only good as a gag🙈 Fruity, woody, but the vanilla is overwelming everything! Oh man… this was one of the first rum I ever tasted.

Sehr süß, Vanille und Karamell im Vordergrund. Recht ölig
Review by Dirk E.
nett, mir aber ist der Toffee Geschmack zu intensiv
Review by cigares
Un nez écœurant de Carambar, caramel et sucre brûlé, un léger coco si je me concentre. La bouche est douce, très douce. On croirait sucer un Carambar. De la noix de coco en filigrane. Une finale soutenue mais malheureusement on n’échappe pas à ces arômes écœurants. Plus un dessert qu’un rhum. A réserver aux amateurs de sucreries.
