Ron Colon High Proof
Loved by Martin Ekrt, Christoph & 8 more
For curious explorers ready for funk and heat, this high-proof blend leans Jamaican: overripe tropical fruit, esters, licorice, chocolate and coffee. Great value mixer that many also sip with caution and a splash of water.

Review by Martin Ekrt
The aroma is a combo of overripe fruit, coffee, liquorice and caramel. Blindly identifying this rum was confusing for me. Not surprising when you mix 2 types of Worthy Park with Cihuatan. For me, a hilarious blend. I would fault them for noticeable immaturity.
Review by Christoph
A blend of slightly chocolaty, spicy rums with a Jamaica fruit bomb. In the taste very good but unfortunately the alcohol is clearly noticeable and somewhat pungent on the nose. With Imberger Bergkäse the raisin comes out very nicely.
Review by Anonymous
Halv torr, vanilj och någon typ av apelsin i doften. Smaken är torr och något kemisk i smaken, fruktigheten som finns i doften försvinner i smaken.
Review by benoit burger
Very good value for money. We find the Jamaica with a side caramelized chocolate. In the style of Smith and Cross in more complex. The alcohol is quite present

Insanely interesting rum, which I had not previously on the screen. Has much of an Agricole and fits perfectly in a TiPunch or Daiquiri. Also a mojito could be very exciting. Extremely fruity and light despite the 55.5% vol. A nice interesting summer rum.
Review by Stefan Persson
It’s not infused with coffee beans and therefore much better than the Green & Red Label in my opinion. I recognize chocolate, caramel, tropical fruits and some sweetness. The nose is quite weak, but on the palate and during the medium long finish goes easier to recognize the tastes.
Review by Thunderbird
A positIve surprise! From nose to finish a pleasant rum, strongly reminiscent of a Jamaican! Only in the finish what licorice-like comes to light.... excellent PLV
Review by Galli33
Thanks to RumRatings for this sample! This one is by far the best of the 4 samples from Ron Colon! A funky mix of different notes. Nose: Blind i classified it as a jamaican. Esters?!? 🤔🥲 There are smells and tastes of different fruits, agricole and a lot of spice. A short woody, coffee finish. Nose: 8.4 Palate: 7.5 Finish:7,9
Review by Jindrich Strobl
After a second taste I must increase my rating. An excellent rum.
Review by BjörnNi 🥃
Burns a little on the finish. Nothing special
Review by Han
Explicitly intended as a mix rum - but also very very nice to drink neat.
Review by Christian Rudt
bei dem tollen Preis wird hier aus gut ein sehr gut! Das habe ich relativ zu Beginn meiner Rumreise geschrieben und eine Flasche gekauft. Preis war in Ordnung und der Rum hat sich dann vorwiegend als Mixer bewährt. Pur muss ihn dann noch etwas abwerten, geschmacklich etwas zu bitter. -4

"Going forward I think it would be an idea from a commerical perspective to make more of the Jamaican element. All in all Ron Colon Salvadoreno High Proof Rum is quite an interesting little rum. Also with this one........you don't have to like coffee."Read full review →
