    How does this rum taste?

    Smooth, sweet dessert-style starter rum

    Most love its smooth, honeyed caramel sweetness and easy sipping. Critics find it too sugary, a bit thin and lacking character. Consensus: a well-liked, quality sweet starter rum.

    Who is this rum for?

    If you like Diplomático-style sweet Spanish rums, you’ll probably enjoy this—similar soft, caramel sweetness, just a touch less sticky and still very easygoing at 40%.

    Not really suitable for

    Drinkers avoiding added sugar or looking for dry, characterful, high-ester or agricole-style rums; anyone who dislikes very sweet, rounded profiles.

    Good aroma intensity for this style. Notes typical for evaporated came juice dominate, with some aging influence. The bite is unpleasant, sourdough it tried to be masked by sugar. Sweet and syrupy texture. Not my style at all.

    Tastes as you would expect from a South American: sweet and subtly fruity, the spices are not exaggerated and the finish is mild.
