Secha de la Silva
Sip it slow and neat, or lean on it as a dessert pour after dinner — this Guatemalan is soft, round and lightly sweet, all coffee, cocoa, vanilla and caramel. Several tasters admit it "hasn't got much to do with rum" and reads more like a flavored, sweetened liqueur, but most still find it easy and tasty. It opens up over a few minutes.
The community says- Coffee and cocoa
- Easy sipping
- Keep in mind: Added sugar

How does Secha de la Silva taste?
From community reviews · summarized with AI
Sweet coffee-cocoa sipper, more liqueur than rum Members are warm but honest: a pleasant, sweet coffee-and-chocolate sipper that drinks more like a flavored liqueur than a traditional rum. Little length or complexity, but easy and enjoyable.

Most helpful positive review
A rum that seems quite round and smooth at first, without real interest, but releases its aromas over the minutes. Then you get notes of vanilla, caramel and cocoa gradually during the tasting while keeping a sweet and slightly sugary taste! Sip and enjoy this rum very slowly, which is very rich and generous despite a first impression that doesn't necessarily win everyone over.

This actually has little to do with rum, but it’s still very tasty. Sure, we have coffee and cocoa on the nose and palate. Also some vanilla and dark chocolate. Nice, easy sipper I’d say ;-)
Review by Vincent D
Sweet and artificial spirit drink but colorful. Coffee and chocolate and sugar for indulgence. A bit of wood. No length. No complexity. Not unpleasant though but without much interest.
Review by Mathieu Zo
A gradation in taste with an evolution of flavors: simply exceptional!
Review by Pablo
Very good rum from Guatemala, good to start your tastings of this rum-producing country rather rich without getting lost in tastes too complicated to decipher.
Review by Dam Cstr
Good coffee smell that you find again on the palate, drinks well, don't expect a masterpiece but a nice flavored spirit for an aperitif or digestif.
