How does this rum taste?
Black Tears (Black Label) is a Cuban rum crafted at the Paraíso distillery. Bottled by The Island Rum Company, this 40% ABV spirit is distilled from molasses and aged for 2 years. It features a distinctive aroma dominated by coffee, brown sugar, and vanilla with undertones of caramel and mocha. The flavor profile emphasizes coffee, offering a unique, dry taste with hints of spiciness and cocoa, appealing to those who appreciate less sweet rums. While some find it ideal neat, others prefer it as a mixer, particularly with cola. This Cuban creation is noted for its complex history and multifaceted taste profile, contrasting popular sweeter spiced rums like Foursquare.

Fantastic Cuban rum. I tried this at a rum tasting event over zoom and it was incredible. This history of this rum is fascinating and very complex . Tasting notes had a dry start not tobacco, followed by chilli peppers and finishing with cacao ... I think Foursquare is a nicer spiced rum if you prefer sweeter but for dry lovers out there , this is the stuff

Coffee aroma is already a bit present, otherwise it's nothing. It may be justified as a blender, but otherwise it's not much. 53/100
