How does this rum taste?

  • Smooth caramel sweetness
  • Pleasant dessert pairing
  • Subtle pineapple hints

The Reserva 6 Especial is a Venezuelan rum distilled from molasses at Destileria Carupano, offering a blend of vanilla, butterscotch, and pineapple aromas. Aged for six years, it's noted for its smooth caramel sweetness complemented by hints of spice and oak. Users appreciate its approachable profile, with themes like Werther’s Original toffee and hints of chocolate emerging on the palate. Despite its pleasant taste, some consumers noted its short finish and a potentially overpowering alcoholic note. This rum is best suited for dessert pairings or casual sipping rather than complex cocktails. Reserva 6 Especial provides a taste of classic Venezuelan rum making without overwhelming sweetness, appealing to those who favor more straightforward profiles.

"02-09.04.2022 This was crazy week, where some friends and I rented a nice summerhouse on Rømø. The plan was to go nuts for a whole week with different rums without going overboard. The final agreement came to 6 rums a day and then enjoy nice walks or ferry rides during the day. Day 2 Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, sweet, light roasted wood, light candy, caramel, light anise, faint chocolate. Palate Sweet, light oily, light wood, light chocolate, faint caramel, light fruits, pineapple. Finish Short to medium, sweet, light wood, caramel, light chocolate, light pineapple. Extra note. Best enjoyed handwarm and I found it to be a really good dessert rum that can also be poured over icecream."

"Erinnert mich eindeutig an Sahne-Karamellbonbons. Werthers zB. Ist dazu auch angenehm holzig. Aber neben dem Karamellbonon gibts hier eben nichts überraschendes im Geschmack. Scheint mir nicht nachgesüßt zu sein."

"Overall: Better than expected but nowhere near great. Nose: Very strong toffee (think Werther’s Original) Palate: Delivers on the toffee on both the attack and the palate. Finish: Like most Venezuelan’s I’ve tried it dissipates so fast you barely remember it was ever there. I am generally not a fan of Venezuelan rums. I find they dissipate too quickly and when you are lucky enough to find an undosed one they are often rather generic and uninteresting. However, I must admit this one was better than I expected and I’ve had far worse light bodied rums than this. I also appreciate that this thing is probably not dosed up and sugared like many other Venezuelans, for sure at least not as much as Diplomatico."
