Aroma visualization from community tastings
Arcane Extraroma Grand Amber
Sweet-tooth drinkers and anyone curious about cane-juice rum will get the most out of this one. Banana, coconut and vanilla lead, with a creme brulee softness and a clear fresh-cane note underneath. Several tasters find it artificial and spiced-rum-like, and almost everyone agrees it's very sweet — one member likens the finish to diced fruit cups. Easy to like, easy to overdo.
The community says- Banana and coconut
- Fresh-cane note
- Keep in mind: Contains added sugar

How does Arcane Extraroma Grand Amber taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Very sweet, banana-coconut cane sipper Divisive: fans call it fruity, floral and a friendly intro to cane-juice rum; critics find it too sweet and artificial, closer to a spiced rum. Sweetness is the sticking point.

The pictured round bottle and the new, slightly more angular one have very little to do with each other in terms of taste. The old stuff in the rounder bottle has a very strong (almost artificial) banana note and is noticeably sweeter. The new one in the more angular bottle doesn't have this. It smells green and plant-like, like sugarcane. Good for drinking neat. And less sweetened. Absolutely top value for a sugarcane juice rum.

Much too sweet for me and nothing I can recommend. Aromas of caramel, vanilla and spices is recognizable. At the palate it’s very sweet with flavors of fruits, banana, ginger, caramel and vanilla together with a certain roundness.
Review by Timo Groeger
Had expected more. A note of banana, coconut and tropical fruit on the nose, then the same on the palate. A very fruity rum, but too fruity for me. I also find the finish too long with a bitter aftertaste.
Review by Rumpalumpa
I wonder if there are artificial flavors involved here, because my taste tells me it's spiced rum. But by far not the worst I've tried. The usual vanilla flavor with banana and coconut
Review by Rumbaer
Number 18 from the Tastillery Advent calendar. You immediately notice from the smell that it is not a molasses rum. The smell of sugarcane juice is clearly recognizable. Along with banana and vanilla in mouth and nose. Lightly sweetened, but under 20g. Maybe a good introduction to sugarcane juice.
Review by Skyfly
Banana and coconut are always at the forefront with this rum. On nose and palate, the rum seems a bit artificial, but surprisingly good on the finish. For my taste, the rum is too sweet; definitely worse spiced rums for long drinks.
Review by Rémi Schmitt
Excellent in every aspect.
Review by Korkennase🥃
The rhum is distilled from sugar cane juice and you can taste that, although also here was re-sugared, the freshness of the sugar cane still comes out well.
Review by Anonymous
Very fruity and fresh, banana and apple notes. Somewhat artificial aroma.
Review by Necron
This rum is ideal for anyone that loves sweetness in their alcohol. It reminds me a lot of Lambs Spiced Rum (heavily reliant on the sweetness from cinnamon). Overall it has an alcoholic smells but it is overshadowed by the sweetness. It tastes great overall but would rather use it in mixers instead of straight. Still a good rum overall and would definitely consider it as a recommendation for anyone new to rum.
Review by Godspeed
Ultra-dosed “rum” that is only recommendable as a dessert liqueur or poured over ice cream (delicious btw). During aging about HALF of the content of the barrel for this rum is literally sugar syrup. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about the outcome for its flavor and how sweet it is. The bottle, however, is a triumph. Looks phenomenal.
Review by Александр Иванов
Ok, you don't need it. It's horrific & terrible sweet.
Review by rum_sk
Lovely, vanilla and cocoa notes with mikd spiciness. Extraroma is extraordinarily well balanced. Sweet but in very reasonable amount while you can still taste the main component which is a pure sugar cane rum from Mauritius. Short to medium finish.
Review by StormAK
Немного жидковат, послевкусие короткое. В аромате и вкусе очень много интересных экзотических нот, кокоса и ванили. Очень необычный ром. Чуть спиртуозности, но не мешает. Вау эффект именно от новых ароматов и вкусов. Но оценка ХОРОШО
Review by Cédric Meyers
The nose is more appealing than the palate. The first sip is even disappointing because you don’t taste much. You have to let it linger a bit in the mouth to realize its aromas.

Chemical and non-existent mid-palate
Review by DJ Wolfson
Very sweet, but in a pleasant way. Lots of citrus, and fruit. The after-taste reminded me of the pre-packaged cups of diced fruit from the grocery store.
Review by Sylvain44
A rum with additives, not bad at all
Review by Matthieu Rhum
The green apple is very present!
Review by Niko
For banana candy lovers...
Review by Nico NLD
Very present nose of tropical fruits, dominated by grilled banana, with a pastry note. On the palate, a somewhat alcoholic attack, with a touch of wood, then a powerful note of pastry fruits. Long and fruity finish.
Review by Wollfrosch inConcert
A very floral and colorful character that also opens the door for beginners to rum made from sugarcane juice. In my opinion, it is discriminated against way too often.
Review by Richard Krupa
Nic moc. Vune dobra, chut ne
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
I really couldn't drink this..
Review by Chaos Tsume
Too sweet for me
Review by Rado Vito
It smells like mead full of almond with vanilla tones. The taste is a bit confusing for me, it is sweet from the beginning and than it change to be sour. If Don Papa was agricole, I guess it would taste the same. Well, long story short, if you want to start with agricole rums, this can prepare you for the long and beautiful journey without discouraging you. (Without knowing it has sugar sirup in it, I would rate it 6.)
