Ron Colón High Proof
Sip it neat and it drinks far more Jamaican than Salvadoran — a fruit basket of overripe pineapple and banana, esters, and a licorice edge, with caramel underneath. Several tasters blind-guessed Jamaica and named Worthy Park. At 55.5% the alcohol pokes through and reads a touch bitter neat, so plenty reach for a Dark & Stormy, Ti' Punch or daiquiri instead.
The community says- Fruity ester bomb
- Great in cocktails
- But: Alcohol bites neat

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.

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 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 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

Burns a little on the finish. Nothing special
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

Considering the high proof this is actually an very well balanced rum. Very smooth and you don't need to add water to bring down the proof. The blend is 70% 6-yaar old from Licorera Cihuatan Destillery, 15% 3-year old Jamaican and 15% unaged rum. It won gold at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. A fruity explosion at a very good price tag.
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 crazyforgoodbooze
This is no El Salvador rum in my life. Blind rather a Jamaican and esters without end. Does really well in dark & stormy. But don't understand the product😅
Review by Vincent D
On the nose, we are at Hampden. Ripe fruits, esters, pineapple, banana and a certain roundness. The alcohol is very (not to say too) present. The fruits are also there and we really have the impression of a rather young Jamaican, Smith and Cross type. We can still feel in the background a touch of caramel or sugar which brings a certain roundness. The finish is medium long, with the same spicy and fruity notes. In the end, I remain hungry for the lack of information on the label. Rum not unpleasant. The alcohol is not very well integrated and I will be curious to know what is hidden in this blend.Edit: better at the end of the line up
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
Review by Rumbaer
Aus dem Club Tasting mit Rumschnacker Falk Redlich. Schöner Blend aus El Salvador und Jamaica. Ein voller Fruchtkorb, ein wenig Funk und eine nicht gleich überwältigende Menge an Ester. Alkohol schön eingebunden, brennt und sticht nicht.

Review by Motte
Spannendes, intensives Geschmacksprofil zu einem hervorragenden Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Eine etwas längere Reifung hätte die Ecken und Kanten wahrscheinlich etwas abgerundet.
Review by Thomas
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 Ivo Höfner
Toller Blend mit Charme und Charakter - pur und zum Mixen! ..bleibt wunderbar lange & intensiv im Mund!

Read full review →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.

Young and really rough sugar to smoothen a not good product.
