El Brujo

A newcomer-friendly Paraguayan column still rum at 40%. RumX members mostly find it light, sweet and quite simple, with notes of mint, vanilla and caramel. Works better in mixed drinks than neat.

The community says
  • Easy-drinking
  • But: Lacks complexity

El Brujo from Panama. On the nose you mostly get mint, but also some grape can be detected. On the palate also mostly mint, but also light notes of wood and vanilla. There are better ones in this price range.

4.8/10

Very empty 👃, sweetness and hint of burnt caramel. 👅 is more prominent sweet taste and very spicy profile. Otherwise very blank and empty rum. Disappointing all-around.
