    How does this rum taste?

    Ron Carioca Puerto Rican Rum - Tropical Heavy-Bodied is a bold yet polarizing spirit crafted in Puerto Rico from molasses via a Column Still, boasting a high 45% ABV. Our RumX community notes its sweet, coconut aroma laced with burnt sugar and vanilla, though many find its flavor profile leaning towards synthetic, overly sweet, and bitter notes with hints of dried apricot and brown sugar. While its unique character and intriguing complexity capture the interest of some rum lovers, others feel it strays too far from traditional rum expressions. This rum offers an unconventional tasting journey reflective of its tropical origins and heavy-bodied style.

    Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez aromatique mais on sent tout de suite qu’il s’agit d’arômes artificiels ici, ils sont accompagnés d’une amertume bizarre et de sucre. La bouche est tellement amère qu’on comprend pourquoi ils ont sucré ce liquide. La finale est courte sur l’amertume. Une boisson alcoolisée très éloignée de ce qui est écrit sur l’étiquette !

    06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting First of all, many thanks to Artur for the extreme effort and for sharing such old rums at all. Apart from a few exceptions, the rums themselves weren't really that great, BUT I still really enjoyed it, because you don't get to taste rums like this any more as a normal mortal and I find all this background knowledge that Artur shared incredibly interesting. I really take my hat off to him. Big respect!

    5:On the nose, the impression is quite pleasant, sweet with woody notes like burnt sugar, vanilla, baking spices, coconut and licorice, some notes reminiscent to whisky. 3:On the palate, the attack is sweet with brown notes as sugar, woody spices like vanilla, baking spices, roastedness bring some chocolate, there are dried apricots, but without any balance. 3:The finish is medium short with bitterness and wood notes like burnt sugar, caramel, baking spices and dried apricots...
