Aroma visualization from community tastings
Hacienda Coloma 8 Años
Most people land on the same verdict: pleasant, sweet and easy, but light on character. Expect vanilla, caramel and a strong coffee note (from those coffee-liqueur barrels), with milk chocolate underneath. Several tasters call it "an average rum," a bit flat and one-note, while dessert-lovers enjoy how round and gentle it is after a meal. The gift box gets its own fans.
The community says- Coffee and vanilla
- Smooth, little burn
- A bit flat

Review by Stefan Persson
The nose is nice, it’s easy to drink and a rather short finish goes the same way as at the palate. It’s very unclear where this rum is distilled, cause they don’t have any stills at the Hacienda Coloma so they are probably just aging, blending and bottling it. In the end of the aging they finish it in former Coloma Coffee Liqueur barrels.
Review by Timo Groeger
This is also a quite okay 40% average rum. Actually, the nose and palate are almost all coffee. I can still taste a slight hint of caramel. It's also relatively sweet, but still within reason.
Review by Vincent D
Longtemps que je n'avais pas goûté de Coloma. J'ai trouvé ce huit ans assez agréable. Sucré, caramélisé et sur le café. C'est très prononcé. Mais un boisé quelque peu acide amène de l'intérêt à cette bouteille. Plutôt agréable.
Review by Arnaud Faverjon
It's really sweet... lacks character despite the coffee notes.

I really like this rum to finish a meal, or to accompany a sweet dessert. It is very round and sweet. It's also good to have it simple, not expensive. Doesn't fart higher than his ass. And the box/bottle is beautiful, nice as a decoration in the living room.
Review by Master P
Ganz nett das der nach Milchschokolade duftet, aber ziemlich süß. Ganz ok mal zum testen

Plutôt agréable pour un ron sucré
Review by Daniel
Schwache Nase, dezent Vanille, harmonisch. Süß, Vanille, holzig, mild. Unauffälliger Süßrum, erinnert an Barbados. Easy sipping.
Review by Morgan Garet
It is very pleasant, very greedy, of course the coffee dominates from the nose to the finish.
Review by Jindrich Strobl
An average rum. Easy drinking, a bit flat.
Review by Tyler Griffith
Incredibly smooth. Sweet, but not sickly. Little to no burn. Pleasant nose that translates well to the taste. Heavy on vanilla/sugar, so a bit one-note, but very enjoyable.
Review by Kay Meertens
Orange, mocha and raspberry
Review by Jonas Kofod
Pleasant sweet. Spices and caramel. But not much complexity.
Review by Rado Vito
It is sweeter than older 15y, but the price is ok. Must try, than you should ask yourself, it is your cup of rum?

Coloma 8 ans est un rhum produit à partir de mélasses provenant de deux variétés de canne à sucre. Après une distillation en colonne, le rhum est vieilli pendant 8 ans dans des fûts de chêne américain. Un rhum rond et rustique à la fois.
Review by sebastien dumant
Bon petit rhum avec au nez et au goût le café et pour moi un fond d'amandes et de vanille légère.sympa

Read full review →If you like rum for easy sipping and you like spirits with the taste of coffee or chocolate, then the 8-year-old Colombian Coloma is for you. Luxurious, beautiful bright blue gold packaging - gift box and the bottle itself with a Colombian theme. A representative rum gift.
Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →This is seriously, a very boring, flat, uninspired spirit. I didn't expect this to be quite as boring as this. I was hoping it might be a bit more like La Hechicera than Dictador . Sadly that's simply not the case. Completely forgettable in many ways but pretty rancid nonetheless.
