8.0/10

Very pleasant spiced rum with unique notes of berries, floral/hibiscus, some ginger, minimal perfume but compared to Riise, Don Papa Baroko in my opinion not disturbing, rather pleasant. Of course, it's quite sweet, mild, not much left of the rum base, still very good. Could especially be interesting as a mixer. Drinks: - Neat: 4/5

Extremely sweet, similar to a Donpapa but without the finesse of a Donpapa.

Guatemala 

Avg Rating 7.5/10 over 230 Rums

Guatemala makes soft, sweet, dessert-like rum, and it does it high in the volcanic highlands where the thin, cool air slows maturation. Its base is virgin sugar cane honey, a concentrated first-press cane syrup rather than molasses, and its calling card is the Sistema Solera. One name towers over the country: Ron Zacapa.
