RA Caribbean Island Blend 2019
Most like its fruity nose, mild sweetness and price. Critics find it thin, short and a bit too sweet. Consensus: a solid, low-budget entry into unsweetened, lightly funky rum.
Drinkers moving from sweetened rums into more natural styles who want a mild, affordable sipper with a touch of Jamaican funk and dried-fruit sweetness.

Very nice, relaxed blend at an unbeatable price. Can also easily keep up with high-quality blends! Especially for beginners who want to gain first experience with (almost) unsweetened rums an absolute recommendation!
Auto-translatedColor: Mahogany Aroma: Sweet, aromatic and funky. Fruity with esters and raisins. Tasty Taste: Mild, flat. Fruity, spicy-woody. As if someone has tried to sweeten something bitter. Finish: Short and watered down Wood, bitter, fermented, herbs Unpleasant Smells delicious, but doesn't taste good.
Auto-translatedSmells like a Jamaican with esters, lots of (sour) fruit and a roasted/floral touch (tobacco), but has a completely different mouthfeel! This means no dry, musty Jamaican feeling, but a sweet, fruity and mild experience. The finish is sweet and fruity, but also has roasted bitter notes reminiscent of chocolate. Very good for the price and definitely a successful blend.
Auto-translatedI've had far worse blends so far. This one is quite acceptable.
