Darsa Plantation Guatemala XO (Edition 2019)

"Wow 😍 Tonka bean in the face Best rum in terms of price performance. Anyone who likes tonka bean should definitely buy this rum. The amburana finishing masks the distillate's own flavor, but I don't think that's a bad thing in this case because it doesn't have that much potential anyway. It doesn't have much potential of its own anyway"

"A pleasantly complex of dark chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon smelling, dark amber rum from Guatemala.On the tongue it is fruity, little sweet and minimally woody, while slightly spicy. Hints of cinnamon and tropical fruit round out the flavor. The finish is clear and long-lasting."

"Very drinkable. Christmassy."

"The nose is warm, sweet with nice notes of milk chocolate, light wood and some spices that seem to be cinnamon. The amburana has clearly done its job in the structure of the rum which without this finish would be too light.In the mouth, the alcohol is extremely well integrated, it is very pastry, sweet but not too much, it is delicious! We find the milk chocolate, the coconut, the vanilla as well as a light woody taste.It lacks chew but we excuse this little defect by the gustative qualities uncommon to other rums of this kind...The finish is short and connected to the palate...In conclusion, this rum is a real chocolate candy where the word pastry takes all its meaning! It is light but well structured, not liquorish, I love it!"

"this basically only scored that high, because it tastes of very interesting liqueur. the amburana give it a very nice tonka and cinnamon taste. but by no means does it feel like drinking a rum"

"Were flavors used here? The strong cinnamon note is quite tasty, but I have not encountered so far. As a sweet rum / dessert rum but top"

"A truly unique nose. Coconut flavoured nougat, marzipan, vanilla pastries and a woody nuttiness in the background. The palate keeps the marzipan and vanilla but it's more earthy than the nose with cinnamon and tobacco notes. The finish isn't too long and has some sharper points but it's generally a quite mellow experience with notes of tobacco and nuts. Overall this is a rum that tastes like no other I've tried. The only other comparable one would be another Darsa. Not for everybody, but I quite like it."

"Sweet, but doesn’t feel too sweet. Nice rum, but I’m struggling a bit to Find The moscatel notes."

"Nez coco et bouche alcool avec ce goût de noix de Coco donne par le bois d’amburana qui lui confère ces notes de coco. Bois utilisé pour les tonneaux au Mexique pour la cachaça amburana."

"Pleasant nose with a very nice but still a bit odd flowerly taste. Unfortunately this taste is overrun by the intensive spicy notes"

"Sweet in smell, even sweeter in taste. Similarity with Plantation Barbados 20 Anniversary, but slightly better."
