Paranubes Oaxaca Añejo Rum
Don't expect a typical aged rum here — this drinks half like a mezcal cousin. Banana and molasses on the nose, then grassy sugarcane, cream toffee and milky coffee, with just enough oak from 18 months in barrel. At 53.8% the heat is real. Several tasters caught tequila and even a Caroni-ish vibe; one flatly compared it to "bad whisky."
The community says- Grassy cane character
- Banana and toffee
- But: Hot alcohol

How does Paranubes Oaxaca Añejo Rum taste?
Aggregated from 41 community reviews.
Grassy, banana-heavy cane rum with mezcal edge A polarizing sugarcane-juice rum. Fans love the grassy, banana-and-toffee, mezcal-tinged character; others find it strange, too alcoholic, or just not to their taste.

I like this very much. Very agricole-y/sugar(cane)juice. Some Mezcal/tequila. Very pure. Grassy. But also seasalt caramel in the nose. Butterscotch. Milky sweet coffee. Typical. An upgrade to the unaged Paranubes I tasted before. Looking forward to what this distillery will bring.

Review by Alex Kunath
Quite strange rum. I did not like it.
Review by Joël
Leider haben sie nur ungealterte und ganz junge Rums. Aber erstaunlich wie gut diese sind, Potenzial ist definitiv vorhanden. Sie sagten dass sie etwas haben was seit 3 Jahren liegt und noch länger liegen soll. Keine Ahnung wann es abgefüllt wird und ob es dann nach Europa kommt. Ich habe das Büro/Lager/Bar der Destillerie direkt in Oaxaca, Mexiko besucht. Die Destillerie selber ist in den Bergen, leider wollen sie da keine Besucher. Ich habe eine Flasche Anejo RX15229 gekauft für umgerechnet ca. 33.- CHF.
Review by abaker-rum
A ton of banana and molasses on the nose reminding me of bananas foster. The taste carries the banana bits adds in vegetal notes as expected from the cane juice. The finish is spicy and leaves a vegetal taste. I was pleasantly surprised with this rum and think the 54% alcohol is just enough but not to much to make this a pleasant rum to enjoy.
Review by jamdram
Great but vanilla/oak a little too dominant for me personally. Sweet fruit & savoury pine notes come through nicely.
Review by Matej
Okey this is good one. Aroma itself is very woody (smoky), creamy and slightly sweet. Combination od this scent reminds me cappuccino or some kind of coffee. Taste as I expected is fruity, spicy and to my personal taste more alcoholic than I like. I noticed wood, spice and little bit of sweetness (chocolate maybe?). This rum has a very dry finish. I think this is very good rum from sugar cane juice. Really like the aroma and maybe if the alcohol taste was lower (not ABV) I would rate this rum higher.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Překvapivě dost skrytá vůně ve srovnání s bílými Paranubes. Lehké ovocné a květinové tóny s javorovým syrupem. V chuti je to podobné. Poměrně sladký. Velmi přístupný kousek pro širší publikum. Závěr by mohl být delší. Edit: ubývá to zatraceně rychle😋
Review by Przemek Müller
Surprisingly round, despite its age and alcohol content. Starts buttery smooth, finishes with a stronger kick.

Trava, melasa, zhnile banany
Review by Scottyg
A strange complex taste. With very sticky caramel, and floral taste. Slight spice initially. Very enjoyable after the initial taste. Very fruity, sweet, and little smoky smelling. Slight taste of mezcal with a strong red wine smell
