Tasting of Artur's Puerto Rico rums. A nose of apple, vegetal, bitterness, ferment and varnish. Young wood on the palate, followed by sweetness, pecan and sherry. The finish is short, with wood and vegetal.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,2:On the nose, the first impression we get is quite balanced with dried fruits like raisins, roasted wood notes like caramel and nuts, spicy and a little rubber. 6,7:On the palate, the attack is pleasant with dried fruits, banana, orange and smoky, burnt roasted wood notes like caramel, nuts, chocolate, coffee, a but spicy, as the fruits become candied. 6,7:The finish is long with similar notes as on the palate, quite round and balanced...

06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting First of all, many thanks to Artur for the extreme effort and for sharing such old rums at all. Apart from a few exceptions, the rums themselves weren't really that great, BUT I still really enjoyed it, because you don't get to taste rums like this any more as a normal mortal and I find all this background knowledge that Artur shared incredibly interesting. I really take my hat off to him. Big respect!
Review by abaker-rum
This rum has a pretty muted nose, subtly giving off wood, roasted nuts, caramel, and baking spices. I find the palate quite pleasant with nuttiness, caramel, and chocolate leading the way while balanced with wood and spices. The finish is medium in length with the palate notes carrying through
Review by Mirco
Rum No. 7 Rauchig, Holzig, mit etwas Frucht (Rosinen und Banane) der bisherige Gewinner aus 1-7. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊

The liquid History of Puerto Rico - vielen Dank an Artur für die Teilung! Leicht muffig, eher flach.
Review by Leo Krüper
Weder Schlecht, noch gut. Hinterlässt einen neutralen Eindruck bei mir.
Review by DomM
Puerto Rico Set Nr. 7: On the nose this is an outliner from the lineup so far. Very dense on the nose, with lots of (continental) fruits like apricots and pears as well as raisins. Deviates from the lighter style contenders so far. Pretty nice on the palate as well. Here we are mingling in Guyana column territory. Dark caramel, raisins and dried fruits as well as coffee. While the edges are pretty rough, this one is definitely the best one so far. Cheers to Artur for curating this set!
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
05.2024 Does really well in the blender, gives pleasantly subtle flavors without dominating the drink 06.2023 Fruity, honey-sweet nose, which unfortunately evaporates relatively quickly. The palate is strong, woody and astringent with a long, warm finish. I prefer to enjoy it in mixers rather than neat.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Nr. 7 - der erste Rum der das gewisse etwas mitbringt und mehr, sowie stärkere Aromen aufweist. Nuss, Holz, Kaffee und die typische Vanille/ Karamell findet man hier.
Review by Alex1981
Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Irgendwie unstimmig, an der Nase noch die typischen snften Vanille Noten, dNn wird es aber leicht bitter und rauchig. Funktioniert für mich irgendiwe nicht
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Basically not a bad rum but 50€ is just absolutely excessive for what is delivered. I can also get 3 bottles of brugal Anejo or Havana especial and get more for my money... I can't understand the high ratings 😅

23.02.25 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Danke an Artur für die tolle Gelegenheit und Mühe. Nase gebrannter Zucker, Vanille. Im Mund mild, leicht würzig, süß mit kurzem bis mittellangem Abgang
Review by Morgan Garet
As expected, a light ron with no length and no very pronounced aroma. Some tobacco and citrus notes on the finish.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut
"This odd little distillery produces an intersting rum that really is too expensive. some pecan adds to the normal PR nose and some orange with some rose at the finish. Daiquiri: balanced, deep and dark, orangeat. Not really tasting of an Daiquiri but a nice drink. 4/5 stars"
