How does this rum taste?

A sweet, caramel and vanilla-infused Dominican rum with hints of spice and coffee; some find it overly creamy and synthetic. Short finish, ideal for beginners, but lacks complexity. Best enjoyed on the rocks, less so when mixed.

“Next one of the mainstream sample set. Not bad. Not good. Just OK. The nose has some fruit, the tongue is has not much left of it, it is very mild and creamy. A bit on the sweeter side. What to do with it? No idea, a bit weak for mixing and it does not exist as a sipper.”

“A light, gourmet, simplistic Hispanic rum like many others. The initial nose is of chocolatey wood, caramelized to excess, with sweet spices mingling with sweet, caffeinated notes. There's not much to add to this, other than a semblance of dried fruit. On the palate, the thick, syrupy texture confirms the sweetness. Very smooth, the profile returns to spicy wood, caramel, sugar, roasted coffee notes and dried fruit. There's not the slightest hint of aggressiveness. The finish is short and unimaginative, with the same soft, light texture described above. A simple, linear rum, discreet, conventional and flat. Perfect for beginners to the world of spirits.”

“The nose has all the typical "rum" notes; vanilla, caramel and ginger. There's also a pronounced cream note that I get often from column still rums. Some chocolate and apple after further nosing. The palate has strong coffee notes that mix with some chocolate and the usual column still creaminess to give a mocha quality to this rum. Lots of allspice as well. It's a tad synthetic tasting. Not much to the finish. Short and keeps the mocha from the palate. Some vanilla from the nose shows up right at the end. Not a rum I'll be buying again. Too much column still creaminess, the coffee notes are pleasant but I suspect this was taken off the still at an eye watering strength.”

“Une très beau flacon avec un très beau bouchon et une couleur prometteuse mais à part cela c’est à peu près tout! C’est alcooleux mais sans grande saveur, ça manque cruellement de finesse. Au final j’ai préférer le finir dans le baba au rhum”

“On The Rocks: On the nose there is moderate marshmallow with mild dark chocolate and mild young woody notes. Taste is smooth with a momentary spice influence that starts sweet and fades into a slight bitterness. The finish is smooth medium length with a brief return of some spice and sweetness. It is starting to show some initial signs of complexity building. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose very mild sweetness and very mild oak. Taste is smooth with mild sweetness but feels off balance. Not overly enjoyable mixed and would be better as a sipper on the rocks. Finish is short with sweetness fading into bitterness.”
