La Hechicera Serie Experimental No.2 Banana-Infused
The banana here isn't a chemical hit — it's real dried, overripe banana infused into 21-year La Hechicera, so the sweetness reads natural rather than syrupy. Think banana bread, toffee, marzipan and a little oaky spice at 40%. Most people call it a liquid dessert. The recurring gripe: even without added sugar, it lands sweet, and the banana can feel one-note.
The community says- Natural banana
- Easy dessert sipper
- But: Reads sweet

How does La Hechicera Serie Experimental No.2 Banana-Infused taste?
Aggregated from 83 community reviews.
Sweet, banana-bread dessert sipper Loved by banana fans as an easy after-dinner sipper, though several find it too sweet and one-dimensional. Genuine, natural banana flavor — but polarizing among rum purists.

Review by LukaŽiga
8:On the nose, we have caramelised coconuts with deep, ripe banana notes infused with vanilla, on airing rich toffee comes out, with tropical forest leaves, banana is overripe now and dried fruits with some smokiness. 8:On the palate, it is tasty, with flambéed bananas, vanilla, salted caramel, a hint of dried fruits, it is creamy, pleasantly sweet, banana flavor is genuine and really creamy, smooth. More banana notes come through the mid-palate, now a little drier with dried fruits and vanilla, marzipan, still creamy, some notes of dry oak and white pepper arise through our ripe, delicious banana. 7,5:The finish is spicy, easy, medium with more cooked bananas, oak and tobacco smoke..
Review by Sam 🥃
This limited-edition Série Expérimental n°2 is produced under the supervision of a Japanese Maître de Chai. The bottle is really very pretty, and what I really appreciated was the information on the bottle, which was quite transparent. This banana-infused series has the merit of being neither colored nor cold-filtered, and with no added sugar. The result is a banana-infused rum of higher quality and complexity than a banana-infused Bumbu.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
🤤🍌 mehr Banane geht nicht. Dennoch immer noch als Rum erkennbar, da die süße nur aus den getrockneten Bananen kommt. Für mich ein perfektes flüssiges Dessert und ein unglaublich leckerer easy sipper für jeden Tag. Tipp: Banana Boulevardier mit etwas Salz🤤 Nach wie vor mein lieblings easy sipper wenn's Mal einfach nur entspannt ein flüssiges nicht zu süßes Dessert sein darf!

Review by Fifulek
Nose:overripe banana peel, resins, alcohol, Taste:sweet overripe banana flesh, orange peel, some spicy (vlove?) burn, toffee, alcohol Finnish: long, banana peel, molasses, vanilla Pleasant, but one dimensional which makes it boring. Although I have to admit that banana flavour is very natural which makes it somewhat interesting xd
Review by Kieron Wood
This is a delight to taste , obviously sweetened with banana and caramel but a very expensive experiment... This is a good cocktail rum but bizarre on its own , think banana bread ... If you love banana you will like it , If you don't then you won't ...
Review by Tom Gueneau
Ce rhum, malgré son "arrangement" est surprenant de douceur et de Pep's. D'un côté la banane et le sucre liquoreux qui caresse les joues. De l'autre, la chaleur et le piment qui brûle la langue. C'est un bon moment a chaque fois que je le déguste, alors que ce n'est pas ce que je recherche d'ordinaire.
Review by Patrik Onderka
My first Hechicera, an interesting banana experiment from Columbia. Too sweet for me, but I like it in the end. Nose is overwhelmed by banana, you cannot ignore it. Good for starters and occassional sippers.
Review by Kamil Čmiel
Pro mě jako začátečníka který se ještě trochu vidí v sladších rumech, je pro mě tento rum velice zajímavý. Jde příjemné cítít banán, který je dokonce i uvnitř láhve.
Review by Christoph
Ich glaube hier scheiden sich die Geister. Die einen würden sagen viel zu teuer für einen Cocktail, ich sehe diesen Rum gerade in einem hochwertigen Cocktail, z.B. Bananen Daiquiri in dem man sich jedweden Sirup sparen kann bei diesem Rum.
Review by Mixael
Für mich ist die Banane perfekt mit dem Rum verbunden. Ich bin absolut kein Bananenfan, daher meine verhaltene Bewertung.
Review by Gregor
Unfortunately too sweet. Otherwise very pleasant. And fruity like candied banana
Review by Beach-and-Rum 🏖️🌴
Schön würzig. Trifft aber leider nicht meinen Geschmack.
Review by Richard Krupa
Horsi jak klasicka La Hechicera, sladke banany, jemne
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
On the sweeter side but not artificial tasting or clogging. Goes without saying, there's heaps of banana. A great rum. I hope they release more batchs. Good for cocktails but really best neat. Batch 1 - 2020, Bottle 3,642 of 15,000
Review by Oliver
Lecker. Banane passt gut. Mir aber etwas zu süß.
