- Unique and unusual taste experience
- Good for adventurous rum enthusiasts
The Dominican Republic 474 Esters is an unaged, high-proof rum bottled by Romdeluxe. Distilled from molasses using a column still, it boasts an extraordinarily high ABV of 93%. Users describe potent aromas of glue, solvents, and alcohol, with undertones of citrus. On tasting, the profile reveals intense glue-like and synthetic flavors, accompanied by alcoholic and solvent notes, with hints of lemon. Although some find its extreme potency surprisingly drinkable, most agree that its overwhelming characteristics make it better suited as a mixer or industrial cleaner than as a sipping rum. This unique expression generates strong reactions for its unprecedented intensity and unconventional profile, marking it as a niche choice for adventurous rum enthusiasts.

"474 g/HLAA is more than Wedderburn at 93% and that from the Dominican Republic. A rum like you could never try before.The nose reminds undiluted neither Jamaica nor Grande Arome, but 100% glue with solvents (the good stuff), ethanol behind. You can use it to stain wood in a pinch. Maybe a thin lemon can be guessed. Water changes almost nothing.Undiluted in the mouth the same game: adhesive, solvent, plastic. That the 93% in the mouth go at all borders on a miracle. With water, the profile remains similar, some artificial fruit comes to it (green apple) and indeterminate sweetness as of refined sugar.From the pure tasting you have nothing but a headache.Even in the mojito, the glue pushes the mint against the wall. Undrinkable 🤷♂️"
"Absolutely inedible! Since I can also press a tube of Uhu in the glass and dilute"
"#4064 There is a reason this particular picture has the sampleglass upside down because that's what the rum almost did to me 🤣 Darn, I almost lost all hairs in my nose, not that it's a bad thing, but this was not a nice way loosing them. Even after a very long rest it also removed all the hair on my tongue and cleaned out all the way to my little toe. This is definitely only a mixer rum or you can use it to kill weed in your garden."
"Only suitable for graffiti removal..."
