8.3/10

Smells like a Thai dish, with lemongrass or ginger, coconut milk and perhaps a whiff of non-soapy coriander. Furthermore raspberry, apple, orange and raisin. The taste is a lot like a single grain whisky with a lot of vanilla sugar and a little tonic. That Thai coconut comes back in the finish, as well as some gingerbread.

Seems artificial on nose and palate due to an unidentifiable note. Otherwise not very remarkable.

A bit too much chocolate. But hey, for 20€...

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.
