La Hechicera Fine Aged Rum

beautiful unsweetened

Have bought this rum mainly because of the beautiful bottle. Actually a Red Flag, if you are looking for good taste, this one has surprised me relatively positively. Due to the only 40% somewhat watered down and thin and not too complex but a nice Feierabend Sipper at a good price. Definitely a great entry rum and superior to the many dead sugared competitors.Addendum: last drop is out of the bottle. Complex? Rather less. Good sipper? Definitely. A good unsweetened representative of the Spanish style. A little more power would have done it good. A >50% version would be nice. Still, great price/performance. Overall rating 2

very nice and rather unique under the latin style rums. the aroma seems roasted and nutty. the wood is pretty strong but well integrated. Like most latin rums it doesn't throw too much at you, but I enjoy this one a lot. Higer abv would be great

7,5:On the nose, initially quite sharper oak, tobacco, a little chocolate, coffee. Sultanas, pralines, almonds, dried fruits, more confectionary notes come to front after some time. A touch vegetal (green plantain), turnip then more oak & vanilla. It's a pleasant nose overall, not offensive at all, sweet but not sickly. 7,5:On the palate, there are prunes, nougat, oranges, a hint of cooked peach/apricots, molasses, a little banana peel, incense, dried fruits, lots of prominent spicy oak. 7,2:The finish is on the medium side, over steeped black tea, blackcurrant buds, juniper, a little marzipan & floral..

02.10.2016 - 03.10.2016 A great extended weekend with rum friends. This was a nice event and lots of space between the tables. Only problem was the level of English at some of the exhibitors. Here are the rums we tasted at the event itself, nothing truly unique but we had fun. This is the first half of the tastings. Notes Light roasted wood, vanilla, orange, light coffee, light dried fruit, faint caramel. Palate Light, light wood, light coffee, orange, light chocolate, light smoke, sweet, earthy. Finish Short to medium, light wood, light tobacco, light coffee, faint chocolate, nutts.

A freat surprise for me especially considering price/performance ratio. Very pleasant rum in general from Colombia the land of Dictador. I like this more than banana experiment which was extremely sweet to me. A very sympathetic feelings it left.

"It has replaced diplomatico for all those new to the world of rum! In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Vanilla, Strawberry, Dairy products On the palate: Vanilla, Bourbon, Fût " Little plus: the label is nice.

A good rum. Caramel and chocolate on the nose. Less sweet on the palate than expected: smoky chocolate, woody and vanilla. I am positively surprised. Somewhat short finish. Still a clear recommendation to buy.

Great sipper for a relaxed evening! Very beginner-friendly, nice and fruity and sweet. The cooler Zacapa!

Hints of cocoa, caramel, brown sugar and a little alcohol come to mind. The taste is then very chocolaty, complemented by some caramel, vanilla and leather. This remains the case in the short finish. It is an honest rum from Colombia that is suitable as an easy sipper without great expectations.

Not bad at all, even a little better than it deserves to be.

On the nose, it's quite mild. Vanilla, wood and cocoa up front with coffee and subtle orange peel towards the end. The palate hits you with spice firstly. Like a chilli has touched your tongue but without missing a beat it moves to dark chocolate and woody notes then begins to drift into the taste of good cappuccino, with extra sugar. On the finish those cappuccino notes linger. No complaints there. The spiciness at the start of the palate loses this rum points for me and, although nice beyond that, it doesn't wow me.

Very sweet taste, quite light, caramel and we find the woody and slightly spicy side of the nose.

Notes of charred oak barrel, vanilla, dark chocolate, cocoa. Little bit of spiciness at the back and overall, a robust full body. Biggest let down is the 👃 which is very flat in comparison with the taste and a little bit of alcoholic odour as well as taste, so the alcohol is not optimally incorporated.

Very light and gentle
