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.

Summarized by AI from community reviews.

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.

8.8/10

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 ;-)

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.

Avg Rating 7.5/10 over 230 Rums

Guatemala makes soft, sweet, dessert-like rum, and it does it high in the volcanic highlands where the thin, cool air slows maturation. Its base is virgin sugar cane honey, a concentrated first-press cane syrup rather than molasses, and its calling card is the Sistema Solera. One name towers over the country: Ron Zacapa.
