Mama Quilla

Sip it neat and you get vanilla, dark chocolate and cocoa up front, in that soft, sweet Guatemalan mold. Trouble is, the flavor thins out and the alcohol takes over the finish — a few tasters call it almost too sharp for 40%. One member summed the sweetness up as a touch too much. Pleasant, spiced, but middle-of-the-road.

  • Vanilla and cocoa

How does Mama Quilla taste?

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

Sweet Guatemalan sipper that turns sharp late Most land around average: sweet vanilla-and-cocoa start in the Guatemalan style, but the flavor fades and the alcohol pushes forward on the finish. Fine, not memorable.

I agree with the ratings here. It's an average rum. Unfortunately, it's a little too sweet for me now. Here we have vanilla, chocolate and some cocoa on the nose and palate, but not quite my cup of tea.

Trying this one at my friend's grill party. It is not something I would need to repeat. It's sweet palate is relatable to guatemalan style of rums. Only twist to this one is the spiciness and slight vegetal flavor.

Nothing special at first, little taste, no power at all. The finish is finally pleasantly long and spicy and allows you to enjoy after the first sip by bringing more flavor.

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.
