"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
- Keep in mind: High sugar content

How does Thomas Sontheimer T.Sonthi Barbados taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
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.

Notes of vanilla and toffee join together with a hint of nuts.

A sickening nose of Carambar, toffee and burnt sugar, a slight coconut if I concentrate. The palate is sweet, very sweet. It's like sucking on a Carambar. A hint of coconut. A sustained finish, but unfortunately there's no escaping these sickening aromas. More of a dessert than a rum. To be reserved for those with a sweet tooth.
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.
Review by Mitskai
Very balanced and light rum
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.
Review by Lukas Jäger
Crazy how much this rum tastes like caramel candies. Anyone who's tried MuhMuh candies knows how this rum tastes. Definitely a unique feature here. For me, though, way too sweet, I just don't like that. Also a bit one-dimensional, although depth and complexity are certainly not the aim of this bottling. But of course, it has its fans.

Nice, but the toffee flavor is too intense for me

Very sweet, vanilla and caramel in the foreground. Quite oily.
Review by Jo Hoo
Intensely aromatic entry-level rum.
Review by Sebastian Kornett
Way too sweet. I want to drink a rum and not a liqueur.
