It’s not infused with coffee beans and therefore much better than the Green & Red Label in my opinion. I recognize chocolate, caramel, tropical fruits and some sweetness. The nose is quite weak, but on the palate and during the medium long finish goes easier to recognize the tastes.

Considering the high proof this is actually an very well balanced rum. Very smooth and you don't need to add water to bring down the proof. The blend is 70% 6-yaar old from Licorera Cihuatan Destillery, 15% 3-year old Jamaican and 15% unaged rum. It won gold at the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. A fruity explosion at a very good price tag.

Eine Mischung leicht schokoladigen, würzigen Rums mit einer Jamaika Fruchtbombe. Im Geschmack sehr gut aber leider ist der Alkohol deutlich zu spüren und in der Nase etwas stechend. Mit Imberger Bergkäse kommt die Rosine sehr schön zur Geltung.

Au nez, on est chez Hampden. Des fruits mûrs, des esters, de l'ananas, de la banane et une rondeur certaine. En bouche, c'est tout de suite très piquant. L'alcool est très (pour ne pas dire trop) présent. Les fruits sont bien là aussi et on a vraiment l'impression d'un Jamaicain assez jeune, type Smith and Cross. On sent quand même en arrière plan une touche de caramel ou de sucre qui apporte une certaine rondeur. Sûrement le Ron salvadorien. Finale moyennement longue, sur les mêmes notes pimentées et fruitées. Une impression de café apparaît également. Au final, je reste sur ma faim devant l'absence d'informations sur l'étiquette. Rhum pas désagréable. L'alcool n'est pas très bien intégré et je serai curieux de savoir ce qui se cache dans ce blend. Édit : meilleur en fin de line up

Ein guter Rum mit eigenen, ziemlich ungewöhnlichen Geschmacksprofil, mit dem tolle Drinks gelingen. Allerdings etwas kratzig. Für eine höhere Wertung im 80er-Bereich fehlt am Ende das Besondere, die Raffinesse.

By far the best from Ron Colon! A funky mix of different rums. There are smells and tastes of different fruits, agricole and a lot of spice. A short woody, coffee finish. Would recommend it for mixing.

Wahnsinnig interessanter Rum, den ich vorher gar nicht auf dem Schirm hatte. Hat viel von einem Agricole und passt perfekt in einen TiPunch oder Daiquiri. Auch ein Mojito könnte sehr spannend sein. Extrem fruchtig und leicht trotz der 55.5 % Vol.. Ein schöner interessanter Sommer-Rum.

Young and really rough sugar to smoothen a not good product.

Eine positIve Überraschung! Von der Nase bis zum Abgang ein angenehmer Rum, der stark an einen Jamaikaner erinnert! Einzig im Abgang kommt was Lakritzartiges zum Vorschein.. hervorragendes PLV
