Aroma visualization from community tastings
Spirits of Old Man Rum Project One Caribbean Spirit
One member calls this his first pick for rum newbies at family gatherings, and that sums it up. Coconut runs the whole show — nose, palate, finish — backed by vanilla, cream toffee and a bit of tropical fruit. It's sweet, soft and easy, closer to a coconut liqueur than a dry sipper. A couple of tasters even wondered if it's a spiced rum. Uncomplicated by design.
The community says- Big coconut flavor
- Soft and mild
- But: Very sweet

Wow. Kokosnuss und vanille in einem sauberem Umfeld. Und harmonisch zusammen. Ein wenig zu süß. Aber top. Gefällt mir sehr gut

Für mich ist das gerade so noch trinkbar, auch wenn ich Kokosnuss und Vanille eigentlich sehr gerne mag. Hier wirkt das allerdings irgendwie übertrieben, künstlich und ist insgesamt mir viel zu süß. Im Mund kommt außerdem eine meines Erachtens nicht gerade passende Note von Koriandergrün ins Spiel, als wäre auch etwas Agricole reingemischt. Freunde von gezuckerten Rums könnte hieran zwar durchaus Gefallen finden, ich bekomme davon höchstens Zahnschmerzen.
Review by Tim
The smell is delicious, not complex, but very pleasing. Coconut, pineapple, a little banana and lots of toffee and syrup. Spices, wood rather weak. The smell continues in the mouth with lots of sweet and fruity notes. Nevertheless, a warm feeling. Could be a sweetened mix of low-Ester Jamaica, Barbados and Dom Rep...!

Leckeres Zeug schöne Würze und kräftig aber nicht brennend. Geruch ist Würzig Süß
Review by Skyfly
Sehr komplexer, aber auch künstlich daherkommender Rum. Von Anfang bis Ende viel Kokosnuss und Süße.in der Nase etwas Sahnetoffee, im Gaumen dafür Karamell, Vanille und etwas Banane. Im Vergleich zu ähnlichen Abfüllungen sticht dieser jedoch etwas positiv heraus.

Adding some of my older tastings, sorry for spamming 😊 Very sweet rum in my mind.
Review by Don Grisu
Mega lecker, ein Erlebnis.
Review by Rumpalumpa
das könnte auch ein Kokoslikör sein. an der nase ist nahezu nichts anderes wahrzunehmen. am Gaumen kommen dann aber auch noch andere Früchte durch. da er auch ziemlich süß ist und eben enorm nsch Kokos schmeckt, gehe ich davon aus, dass dies eher ein spiced rum ist.

Kokos, Vanille und Marzipan
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Original impressions from 2017 rum calendar. Nose: **** Taste: **** Overall: **** ”20% Caribbean. Kokos och vanilj.” Coconut, dried fruits and vanilla on the nose. Palate is sweet with coconut and fruity notes. Very mild and nice sipper.
Review by Business Liner Ralf
spiced Rum, very nice for Ladys 😉
Review by Rumbaer
Helle gelbe Farbe. Im Geruch dominiert Kokos gefolgt von Vanille. Der Geschmack dann auch direkt die Kokosnuss mit einer gewissen süße dazu. Sehr mild, weich und gefällig. Ohne große Komplexität.
Review by nick_nick1
Angenehm im Geruch mild. Leicht fruchtige Schärfe. Leicht bitter. Grundsätzlich mild. Nicht sehr vollmundig nach dem Abgang.
Review by Stefan Graßl
Ähnliches Geschmacksprofil wie der Plantation XO
Review by MJ72
Ausgewogene Nase, Kokusnuss in der Nase und im Mundgefühl. Angenehme Süße mit mittellangem Abgang, netter purer Genuss
