Aroma visualization from community tastings
Etter Swiss RUM1823
Members here mostly agree, and it's not kind: this drinks like an orange liqueur, not a rum. Expect a big hit of orange and orange peel over a thin, sweet, neutral-alcohol base — one taster compared it to those chocolate-orange sticks from the supermarket, another to a cheap triple sec. The orange note is the one thing people credit; past that, there's little rum character to find.
The community says- Strong orange note
- But: Tastes artificial
- But: Very thin

The look inside the bottle
How does Etter Swiss RUM1823 taste?
Aggregated from 12 community reviews.
Sweet orange liqueur, barely rum-like The verdict is harsh and consistent: too sweet, too thin, and the orange aroma reads artificial. Several tasters struggle to call it rum at all.

Review by Mc Pirate
Nez orange et orange et encore orange, bouche typiquement liqueur d’orange, par contre, aucun goût de rhum dans ce breuvage !
Review by Vinkes89
Sehr süß und leicht...
Review by Johannes
Sehr dünn. Schmeckt nach Neutralalkohol mit Orangenaroma.
Review by Oliver
Unpleasant artificial orange aroma.
Review by Christian Rudt
Wer kennt sie nicht die Orangenstäbchen mit dunkler Schokolade aus dem Supermarkt. Genauso schmeckt das hier. Ernsthaft Rum kann man das schwer nennen und außer orange und etwas Vanille auch nicht viel mehr wahrnehmbar. Vielleicht kann man damit neue Orangenstäbchen machen 😁

Sehr Künstlich wie Kirsch Marzipan... Absolut nicht geil

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
Seriously, wtf? Etter is a quality distiller but this is just horrible. It only gets some points for some orange aroma. But the rest is neutral alcohol. This feels like a very cheap triple sec. I have no clue in which universe this is acceptable...
