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
- But: Contains added sugar

How does Arcane Extraroma Grand Amber taste?
Aggregated from 151 community reviews.
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.

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
Nummer 18 aus dem Tastillery Adventskalender. Du merkst sofort am Geruch, dass es kein Melasserum ist. Der Geruch nach Zuckerrohrsaft ist gut zu erkennen. Dazu Banane und Vanille in Mund und Nase. Dezent gezuckert, allerdings unter 20g. Vielleicht ein guter Einstieg in Zuckerrohrsaft.
Review by Skyfly
Banana und Kokos sind bei diesem Rum stets im Vordergrund. In Nase und Gaumen wirkt der Rum etwas künstlich, im Abgang jedoch erstaunlich gut. Für meinen Geschmack ist der Rum zu süß; gibt definitiv schlechtere Spiced Rums für Longdrinks
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 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 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 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.

Chemical and non-existent mid-palate
Review by Cédric Meyers
Le nez est plus attirant que la bouche. la première gorgée est même décevante car on ne goûte pas grand chose. il faut le laisser un peu traîner en bouche pour se rendre compte de ses arômes
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 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

Un rhum avec additifs, pas mauvais au demerant
