    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members say Carta Oro shines in mixed drinks—often a go-to for Cuba Libre and cola. Expect soft aromas of caramelized popcorn with a touch of lime; the palate brings caramel and coffee with lightly bitter, burnt edges. Reviewers call it an easy crowd-pleaser for long drinks, though several find it too light when sipped neat. A popular pick with strong community confidence.

    Here again, pure a disaster, but you can use it as an emergency mixer.

    Where is the flavor? Interesting on the nose but lacking in the palette department. Barely better than the Blanca.

    Bon pour le coca

    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
