Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
This rum has turned my drinking behavior upside down. Before that, I drank wine almost exclusively. This daiquiri opened up a new world for me. "Wild fermentation, freshcut grass" was on the menu at Gone Away Bar (RIP😪).It's mostly the fermented, savory, salty vegetal flavors that set this Cane Juice rum apart from the French agricoles. The nose is marked by savory antipasti: olives, artichokes, hot peppers. In addition, grass and tobacco. Fruit is there too: gooseberry and lime, but quite a bit behind. In the daiquiri it becomes a bit fruitier and fresher. The savory notes, however, remain and you have to like them. I like them.In the mouth it is soft but still quite unusual: olives, olives, olives. Brine, ginger with green peppers. Also the often described mezcal note.In the finish more olive, artichokes and brine.Pure is honestly too crass for me, but in the daiquiri he is gigantic.
Review by RumCzar
This is similar to many high abv cane juice rhums, with notes of olive brine and tomato sauce. It's not bad but it's too savory for my taste. I mix this with lime. I won't rebuy.

#5147 15.03.2025 Running a few samples at home. Nose Intense, fruity, sugarcane, light smoke, light tomato, light olive, light vegetal, light citrus. Palate Intense, fruity, sugarcane, light tomato, light grass, light olive, faint salt, warm, citrus, light mineral. Finish Long and warm, fruits, light mineral, faint smoke, citrus, light earthy, spice. Empty glass Olive, light mineral, sugarcane, light floral. A few drops of water will open up the flavour profile a lot.

Condensé, presque fumé, minéral, iodé fruit rouge léger, cuir léger . Un côté crade artisanal. Ce n'est pas ce que je recherche sur un blanc

Prezrale banany. Bananova palenka
Review by Eric Frechin
A real favorite! Tasted by 3 and all were unanimous: it has many qualities: The nose already offers a beautiful aromatic palette. The palate is beautifully complex, evolving from green banana, olive (discreet) and grass/cane/honey. It also holds up well on the palate.
Review by Mike H.
My first Mexican rum. Interesting profile that comes close to some unaged Savannas that I recently sampled. Some of these rums can have a rather aggressive olive smell and taste but this one had just the right amount of it. Edited a typo in my commentary.
Review by Christian Rudt
Den hatte ich einst nach einem Rum Depot online Tasting begeistert bestellt und dann irgendwie im Regal vergessen. Völlig zu unrecht. Volle Ladung Zuckerrohr in der Nase. Super aromatisch. Wird dann am Gaumen zunehmend mineralisch. Fruchtig, Floral, würzig der bringt alles mit. Im Daiquiri muss ich ihn daher dringend noch probieren.
Review by Aussierumfan
Wow, this juice is hectic, if I had one word to describe it i would say Tomato's!! A very quick tasting neat, I'm sure it would be a great mixer for sure. I'm getting some olive as well? Is quite Herbal and grassy, I never had anything quite like it before!
Review by Timo Groeger
Good part. I can smell a nice sugar cane aroma on the nose. This continues on the palate with tropical fruits. Tastes slightly herbal and agricole. You really can't complain. Solid.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
06.2023 It was more of an interesting experience for me to see how wide the rum spectrum is than to really like it. Antipasti, pickled olives, herbs, salt ... in a blind tasting I would have guessed mezcal rather than rum. Perhaps as a digestif or as a sensory surprise in mixers.
Review by Lot-NAS
Overall a great unaged Rum and nice to see more unknown distillery’s getting more into our focus. For the tasting review see above. Only one thing to add: Bana peel on the palate and even more in finish. And somehow in combination with limes this evolves into full grown bananas. I had banana daiquiris that taste less like banana as this one does. However that works, I really liked it.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Nicht direkt rauchig aber die mineralisch-pflanzlichen Noten die ins Herzhafte übergehen erinnern sofort an Mezcal. Am Gaumen aber nicht wirklich ein Sipper für mich. Darauf, was der in Cocktails kann, bin ich gespannt!
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Very good white rum has everything that a varied rum must have. The high alcohol content is not so noticeable and every sip offers a new surprise, sometimes more sweet, sometimes more spicy. The price-performance ratio is very good. I give it a 9.1 because of the variety in every sip 😃
