Samaroli Samba Blended Rum 2011
If you chase unusual, herb-forward rums, this Brazilian cane-juice bottling is your kind of oddball. Eucalyptus, basil, menthol and a medicinal edge on the nose, then wood, spice, dried fruit and a whisper of coffee and leather. The amburana-cask influence makes it "love it or hate it," and several tasters lean toward loving it. A few say it reads almost like an agricole.
The community says- Unmistakable herbal profile
- Complex, layered palate
- Polarizing menthol

How does Samaroli Samba Blended Rum 2011 taste?
Aggregated from 30 community reviews.
Herbal, menthol-driven Brazilian oddity A polarizing, herbal Brazilian rum most tasters found genuinely interesting. The menthol-eucalyptus profile splits opinion; one felt the nose beats the palate, but fans call the flavor unmistakable.

Review by Martin Švojgr
Velmi zvláštní chuť, balsamico, koření, mentol. Vše nejspíše způsobeno stařením v amburana sudech z Brazilského dřeva. Tohle je přesně rum, který jeden miluje a druhý nenávidí. Já se kloním k "miluji", protože je to nezaměnitelná chuť.

21.11.2024 online RumRock ze sudu amburana - dub z Brazílie vůně opět brutus - intenzivní, dlouhotrvající, nakonec už jen po ovoci (mango?) Chuť nasladla, po polknuti skoro jako agricole, prijemna

Samaroli Samba Blended Rum 2011 je unikátní blend, který kombinuje destiláty s výrazným vlivem sudů po víně a komplexními chuťovými vrstvami. Tento rum je dílem italského mistrného zpracování. V chuti se objevují tóny rašeliny, vína a koření s jemnými dřevitými akcenty. Vůně je bohatá a zajímavá – kombinuje aroma červeného vína, eukalyptu, ořechů a bylinných podtónů. Kořenité tóny dodávají rumu hloubku a výraznost. Tento blend je ideální pro milovníky sofistikovaných chutí. --- English: Samaroli Samba Blended Rum 2011 is a unique blend combining distillates with strong wine cask influences and complex flavor layers.

I tasted this rum when it was released a few weeks ago. Didn’t take any notes back then but I rather liked it. Brazil is an unknown territory for me so it was pleasant to taste this rum.
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is woody with red and yellow fruits (plums), citrus, tobacco and some flowers, it sounds like an agricultural from Martinique, amazing! The palate is different, there are predominantly spices (cloves, pepper) followed by tobacco and then ending with some floral notes and something woody/toasted. The finish is mild and quite short. The nose is definitely better than the taste. In the empty glass noble wood. (Those who like carnation add 1.0 point).
