1731 Fine & Rare Darsa Guatemala Gran Reserva Rum

On the nose, caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit mingle with hints of alcohol. The palate echoes these flavors, leaning sweet and floral, with users calling it easy-drinking and balanced but occasionally dry. Community-backed crowd-pleaser that over-delivers for its price.

    Vanilla and caramel sweetness lead the profile of Guatemala Gran Reserva Rum, balanced by gentle tropical fruits and floral notes.

    "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"
