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.

I really take my hat off to him. Big respect!
