    How does this rum taste?

    The 'Malacca' Indonesian rum, produced at the Naga distillery, is distilled using a column still and presents a 40% ABV. This spiced rum is notable for its pronounced tropical fruit, orange, and mandarin aromas, leading into flavors of mandarin and kumquat with a syrupy texture. User reviews highlight its suitability for fruit-forward cocktails like Pina Colada, although its intense sweetness and candied notes may not appeal to all. It’s perceived as a welcoming entry-level spiced rum, enjoyable for those with a sweet tooth, yet others find it lacking depth. Its distinct taste is accented with hints of Indonesian spices, making it a polarized but intriguing choice for rum enthusiasts.

    there's not much for me to say, it's not rum but a spiced flavored with kumquats. of course, the fruit is very present and takes up all the space, as do oranges and mandarins. But there's nothing else! it's light, watery, sweet, a bit meaningless. I'm really not a fan of spiced, either too sweet or completely ghostly! It's just right to get beginners started.

    Für das, was es ist gehts klar. Leider nicht so mein Fall

    Ein spices Rum. Aber einer der Besseren. Ich trinke ihn gerne. Besonders gut macht er sich in fruchtigen Cocktails wie Pina Colada. Wer allerdings keinen Spiced Rum mag, sollte die Finger davon lassen.

    4.5.2023 voní po mandarinkách naložených v cukrové vodě, to bude asi ten kumquat chuť nejdřív jemná, hladká, nasládlá, po polknutí se rozvine strašně intenzivní sladkost a na konec se chuť zvýrazní nějakým kořením (vanilka, hřebíček, skořice? = Indonesian Spicies) je to brutus, víc skleniček se vůbec nedá vypít
