1731 Fine & Rare Darsa Guatemala Gran Reserva Rum 4yr 46%

RX1854 Pleasant Column Still Rum

“Sweet rum with pronounced caramel and vanilla.”

Guatemala Gran Reserva Rum from 1731 Fine & Rare offers a complex experience, distilled from molasses at Darsa Distillery and aged for 4 years. With its 46% ABV, the rum presents a range of aromas—caramel, tropical fruits, and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a blend of sweet caramel, vanilla, floral, and spicy notes. While some find its fruit character promising, others note the prominent alcohol and dryness. Users often highlight the rum's sweetness and oak barrel influence but critique its alcoholic harshness and lack of depth. Ideal for those who appreciate a distinctive Guatemalan profile, this rum is understood as an exploration of classic Central American rum traits.

“The epitome of central American boring rums. Not much going on in either direction. Dead cask and slight dosage. Still nothing really horrible going on... I am really unsure who needs this over an over again, but here we are!”

“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.”

“Unfortunately rather disappointing. In addition to alcoholic spiciness, there are also pleasant, gentle notes of caramel on the nose. But then surprisingly dry on the palate, slightly floral, spicy but still generally thin.”

“Nez alcoolique sur le caramel un peu boisé. En bouche des fruits jaune ( abricot, pêche ) une pointe d'agrumes toujours le côté caramélisée et légèrement boisé, l'alcool n'est pas très bien intégré trop présent. Peu de longueur”

“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.”

“Sample no.8 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2022. First it smells like tequila but after it sits for a while more of an alcoholic scent with tropical fruits and raisins come to light. Taste is strong and warm but despite the higher abv I don’t get much flavours.”

“Fruity and exotic, pineapple with vanilla in the aroma, slightly volatile alcohol. Creamy, some pineapple and vanilla continue. Distinct alcoholic sharpness with a short finish.”

“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.”
