RA Cuba Rum (CADC Finish) 2015
Community finds a hot, thin and very simple Cuba rum with vanilla, wood and burnt notes. A few consider it acceptable and mixable, but consensus calls it one of RA’s weakest releases.
Value-seeking tinkerers and cocktail fans who want a strong, dry Cuban-style rum for Cuba Libres or Highballs and don’t mind rough edges or limited complexity.

How does this rum taste?
Hot, simple Cuba – better as mixer
If you enjoy experimenting with sturdy, no-frills mixers, this can work in cola at a good price—but if you mainly sip neat RA bottlings, you’ll likely find it too sharp and flat.
Beginners, neat-sippers looking for depth, and anyone expecting typical Rum Artesanal complexity or a soft, sweet profile.
Very well balanced, especially if you give the Barbancourt some rest in the glass. It definitely benefits from oxygen and opens only slowly

Edit: so in CubaLibre it already works O.k. the reviews of the rum are already very scathing. After the two Romdeluxe T.D.L from 2002, a cigar with a Hearts 1999 was a basis to dare to try this rum. I agree with the reviews here. There's not much there. However, in CubaLibre it is a weapon thanks to its high ABV. Actually, you only taste lime and cola there, which is very dangerous and makes for a quick buzz. Thanks to DomM who really talked me into buying the bottle for 15€. It's definitely better for the price than HC3 or other supermarket mixers.
Auto-translatedIst es die vielleicht schlechteste RA Abfüllung? - wahrscheinlich Ist der Rum zu teuer für die Qualität?- jep Ist der Rum schlecht? - ne... nur leider auch nicht gut genug um in ein so hübsches Gewand gesteckt zu werden. Ich trinke auch mal gerne eckige und wilde Rums mit wenig Anspruch. Daher komm ich auf den Cuba Rum klar. Was das Finish soll weiß ich nicht. Dann doch lieber in ein High Ester Fass oder ähnliches. Ich hab mal mit Cuba Rums angefangen. Daher ganz ok. 10 Euro weniger und alles wäre gut. So ist es etwas enttäuschend. Selbst die besten greifen mal ins Kl....
