Aroma visualization from community tastings
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.
The community says- Vanilla and cocoa
- But: Turns alcoholic late

How does Mama Quilla taste?
Aggregated from 38 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.

Review by Timo Groeger
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.
Review by rum_sk
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.
Review by Mathieu Visiere
Rien de particulier au départ, peu de gout, pas de puissance du tout. La finale est finalement agréablement longue et épicée et permet ddkdux savourer après la première gorgée en apportant plus de goût.
Review by Rumamour
Nach anfänglich Vanille mit Röstaromen und dunkler Kirsche, verliert sich dieser Geschmack im Abgang und wirkt stark alkoholisch, fast zu scharf im Gaumen.
