Ron Aldea Maestro 2006
Vanilla, caramel and a light grassy edge lead this cane-juice rum from La Palma, distilled 2006 and aged ten years at 40%. Most tasters find it fruity and fresh but thin and one-note, with a short finish and a touch too much sweetness. One member calls it "a definite easy sipper," others just find it a bit bland and slightly hot for the strength.
The community says- Fresh fruity notes
- Thin, one-dimensional
- Short finish

Light, sweetish cane-juice rum, a bit thin Divides people, but the middle ground is clear: light, sweetish and fresh, yet thin and one-dimensional with a short finish. Pleasant enough, nothing you need to chase.

Ein süßes und fruchtiges Aroma, leicht nach Gras, schwach alkoholisch. Der Geschmack ist leicht alkoholisch, fruchtig und frisch, leicht ölig, angenehm. Der Nachklang ist eher kurz.

Bestimmt eine gute Mixer Grundlage für dem ein oder anderen Cocktail der sowohl mit weißen als auch braunen Rum funktioniert
Review by Stefan Persson
I’m not impressed. I’ve expected more of a rum based on sugar cane juice distilled in a pot still. The flavors shows up late and especially during the quite short finish. It’s rather sweet, probably some added sugar, with some spiciness and some floral notes.

Bottle Market Bremen Oktober 2024. Zum Abschluss ein Ron Aldea von den Kanaren. Kein wirklich guter Rum. Nase ist ziemlich süß, Vanille und Karamell lassen sich hier erkennen. Am Gaumen ebenfalls etwas zu süß.
Review by Thunderbird
Der Rum ist leicht (verwässert) und recht eindimensional!

Wenig beeindruckende Nase, schöne frische Töne im Geschmack aber bei 40% etwas zu alkoholisch scharf im Abgang. Insgesamt nicht schlecht aber auch nichts was man unbedingt probiert haben muss.
Review by Tyler Griffith
A bit artificial, nothing spectacular.

Ein junger Agricole von La Palma. Im Vergleich zu den anderen Rums von Aldea ist dieser wahrscheinlich der Schlechteste. Wenn man ihn in Spanien kauft, ist der Preis ganz okay.

Mild und ziemlich angenehm im Geschmack. Geschmacklich leider zu mild, wenig intenstiv und kaum Tiefe oder Komplexität. Irgendwie langweilig.

Read full review →It's a definite easy sipper, some may say it would make a good starter rum. I wouldn't as it's just bland and inoffensive. As a mixer it does okay it makes a so-so rum and coke but it doesn't have anywhere near enough character to make me want to use...
