A.F.D. Single Origin Rum Dominican Republic Aroma Grande 2021
Glue, acetone and nail-polish hit first — several tasters literally reach for "UHU" to describe it. Under all that solvent there's a little citrus and white fruit, plus a long dry finish. This unaged, high-ester Dominican column-still bottling isn't built for sipping; almost everyone who liked it liked it in a daiquiri, where the ester punch actually earns its place.
The community says- Big ester character
- Glue and acetone
- Hot neat

Solvent-heavy high-ester rum for mixing People agree neat it's a rough, solvent-heavy ride, but in a daiquiri opinions turn — one member called it his winner of the SBS lineup. A mixing rum, not a sipper.

Review by TheJackDrop
Un achat « compulsif » sur un site pirate en Allemagne… à 32€ on ne peut pas d’attenter à grand chose pour un grand arôme MAIS, certes le nez est complètement sur les esters et sur l’alcool; trop sur l’alcool. Après sur la bouche on a quand même du fruit notamment, pas désagréable. Je l’ai pris en daiquiri par la suite et là ça le fait carrément ! Pas dingue, mais quand même ça vaut un petit 7.
Review by Oliver
Crass, smells like UHU! 😳 On the palate, unfortunately, quite alcoholic. Nevertheless, an exciting experience!
Review by Johannes
For a rum from the DomRep. amazingly interesting!
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#4015 I would prefer this rum on the rocks or in a mixer. It's a little bit off in my mind, but I do like the very long and dry finish that stays with you for a long while.
Review by Leo Krüper
Im Daiquiri mein Sieger der 4 SBS. Schöner Mixer mit guter Verfügbarkeit zu einem soliden Preis.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
🔹 S.B.S Origin Dominican Republic “Aroma Grande” – 57 % Un rhum blanc "high ester" (environ 500 g/hlap), non vieilli, distillé en colonne par Alcoholes Finos Dominicanos (AFD), pour le compte de 1423 World Class Spirits, embouteilleur danois bien connu. Profil : ouverture sur des notes de solvants et d’acétone, avant de glisser vers des fruits blancs et rouges, puis une finale sèche et un peu grasse. Ce n’est clairement pas un rhum de dégustation pure – peu d’intérêt en l’état – mais il révèle tout son potentiel en mixologie, notamment dans des Daiquiris créatifs où sa structure singulière peut faire des merveilles.

Sweet chemical glue TASTING2- too much aceton taste
Review by Filip Šikula
On-line degustace řady S.B.S origin s Joshua Singh pořádaná rum explorer 24.2.2025 Dnešní master class se bude skládat z dvou částí - dnes chutnáme čisté rumy, příště porovnáme v daiquiri. Koktejlové hodnocení přidám později.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Very glue. Crazy glue. Would work in mixers. Pure...not so much
Review by paulgi86
Despite glue and varnish coming through both on the nose and palate, it’s not the worst unaged rum I’ve tasted although I can now see why this is one of those cocktail rums - not really meant for sipping, more for mixing to provide an ester-y element to them It’s nice to taste a little citrus on the palate but the industrial notes certainly take over quickly enough - not for me
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Lack, Kleber, Ester und etwas Zitrone in der Nase. Hier ein recht unspektakulärer Einstieg in's Thema. Äußerst süß, leider aber recht sprittig. 'Uhu' ist hier wohl die beste Bezeichnung. Sehr viel mehr als das passiert hier leider nicht, außer diesem Hauch Zitrus und etwas Grappa/Traube. Ergibt aber einen zumindest soliden Daiquiri, für jene die's darin etwas charismatischer mögen
Review by Barnaba
Too dry, to heavy on ester notes - both nose and taste. It's also not very pleasant in daiquiri.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →As a mixer it is a nice little replacement for an unaged agricole. Albeit it an expensive one. That said as far as I am concerned it more than fits the bill for a mid priced sipper. It is a million miles away from the likes of the White Barcelo...
Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
Pure somewhat difficult in the drink not so wrong. Aromatically extremely much varnish and esters, but somehow not the beautiful esters. Reminds me of an unclean distilled pomace brandy with the pre- and post-run was not properly separated and thus the Uhu glue comes through. But as I said, in the drink really good and for a rum from the Dom Rep amazingly interesting.
