How does this rum taste?
Most find it okay-to-good with pleasant caramel, vanilla and fruit. Critics call it alcoholic, thin and forgettable. Consensus: a decent, dry everyday rum, but not exciting.
If you like simple, dry column still rums like basic Latin American blends, this fits: vanilla, caramel and light fruit, but don’t expect depth or fireworks.

Ich habe etwas sehr süßes erwartet, aber der Rum war überraschend trocken. Vielleicht gibt es noch Hoffnung für Rum aus Guatemala? Aber auch trocken hat er mich nicht begeistert. Aber ist okay bis gut.
Day no. 8 of the 24 days of rum advent calendar, 46% abv rum from the single origin series distilled from mollases at the Darsa Distillery Guatemala 🇬🇹 and aged in American Oak casks. Color is very light pale gold. 👃 is not very prominent, we get a portion of sweetness, vanilla, dried fruits, sour aroma of citruses and a bit of alcoholic odour. 👅 is on the other hand very prominent and full of flavour. We get a lot of natural sweetness represented by vanilla flavor pulled from the oak barrel, it is also a bit spicy- peppery. We also get dried fruits such as raisins. It reminds me of pot still rum even though this is supposed to be pure column still. The finish is long with woody notes dipped in sweet sugar syrup- awesome. Great rum I really like this one.
Oh well, difficult to classify. It definitely has a fruity nose and a slightly fruity taste. I also think it tastes slightly of vanilla and caramel. The alcohol is fairly well integrated. An OK rum.
Rhum agréable même si l'alcool est très présent et sec, des arômes fruités et frais plutôt agréables au sein de cette ambiance énolique.
