Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum
Newcomers wanting an easy, sweet Mauritius sipper are the crowd here. Vanilla, caramel and a soft banana note lead, with dried fruit and a light barrel touch behind. Plenty of people find it a gentle first step; others read the banana as chemical and call it too sweet. One taster summed it up as "nice to try" but not a keeper.
The community says- Soft and mild
- Vanilla-caramel sweetness
- But: High sugar content

How does Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum taste?
Aggregated from 177 community reviews.
Sweet, soft banana-vanilla entry sipper Opinions split hard: many treat it as a mild, sweet entry-level pour, while others knock the artificial banana and the added sugar. Comfortable, but simple.

Ich bin mittlerweile im Besitz von ca. 30 verschiedenen Rums, dieser ist für mich sehr interessant und außergewöhnlich. Intensiv, aber nicht zu süß, auch holzig und rauchig, nicht zu scharf. Ein guter Rum zu einem sehr günstigen Preis.

Review by Gyuli
Coffee flavors come to the fore, with a slight alcoholic note. The finish is smooth and moderately sweet. However, the nose and tongue are irritated throughout, and although slightly sweet, the body is rather light, and the alcohol seems to be unintegrated. I remember the 8 year old having a bit more depth and less alcohol buzz. If you like the flavor of Gold of Mauritius, I'd recommend spending a little more to get the 8 year old.

The barrel is definitely in the foreground, very mild rum despite low sweetness.
Review by Johannes
Netter Einsteiger-Rum. Aber schmeckt etwas künstlich und gesüßt.
Review by Anthony
Très bon rhum qui nous emporte sur les îles Maurice avec lui! équilibrer entre les fruits et la complexité et ceux tout en fraîcheur
Review by Andi
Good rum for the entry, sweetish, vanilla, very light wood flavors and dried fruits.
Review by François Delmotte
Agréablement surpris pour un rhum de mélasse. Le fût, bois est présent. Note de caramel, vanille et fruits sec. Un peu trop sucré.
Review by JFehr
Künstlich und süß, hat was abgestandenes
Review by Portman
This rum was my introduction to Mauritius rums. I was disappointed. Too woody for me, otherwise flat, little sweet and a bit nutty. The second tasting didn't save it for me either. I will test a Lazy Dodo on occasion to hopefully approach Mautitius after all.
Review by Business Liner Ralf
toller Rum; komplex und vielschichtig; finde den Rum hier unterbewertet; verdient ein sehr 👍
Review by Montana
Ein kräftiger fruchtiger Geruch, Vanille, etwas Pudding. Ein recht süßer Geschmack, Schokolade, etwas Wein, auch fruchtig. Der Nachklang ist mittellang und etwas alkoholisch.
Review by Oli Dekrell
Kaugummi in Nase und am Gaumen. Hinten raus leicht rauchiger Whisky-Touch
