How does this rum taste?
Easy supermarket mixer, not a sipper
If you mainly mix rum with cola and want something soft and unobtrusive, this fits; if you enjoy characterful sippers, you’ll probably find it bland and industrial.
Rum geeks seeking depth, anyone looking for a neat sipper, and purists avoiding mass-market rums with likely coloring and a very light flavor profile.

Bon pour le coca
De beste rum voor een cuba libre cocktail! On the rocks overtuigd hij niet
Léger goût de caramel et de pop-corn. Rhum intermediaire: pas suffisant bon/développé pour être apprécié seul, mais aussi trop travaillé pour être coupé en cocktail. Privilégier un shot léger en apéro
Attention: The bottlings in Germany seem to have all been reduced from 40% to 37.5% in the meantime. The database is no longer correct, new creation or adjustment may be necessary. Compared to the Blanca, there's a lot more going on here. Very smooth with acidic notes, a hint of popcorn and various roasted notes. Classic, very sweet Cuba notes, but complemented by freshness. It remains similar on its own, but this hint of buttery popcorn stands out in particular. I'm surprised how round the Oro is, even if it is super light and meaningless. A nice crowdpleaser in long drinks when there are no nerds around
