Aroma visualization from community tastings
United Rum Merchants Ltd. Santigo
Here's the surprise: it's from Guyana, yet almost nothing about it says so. This is a light white rum where the neutral spirit does most of the talking — faint fruit and a whiff of something burnt on the nose, then thin, watery and a touch sweet on the palate with a short, slightly bitter finish. Several members reached straight for Bacardi Blanco as their reference point.
The community says- Clean neutral base
- Watery and thin
- Almost no rum character

The look inside the bottle
How does United Rum Merchants Ltd. Santigo taste?
Aggregated from 11 community reviews.
Thin, neutral white rum — a quiet mixer The verdict is blunt: very neutral, watery, closer to vodka than rum. Nobody's excited, but as a discreet cocktail base it does the job.

Review by Johannes
Weißer Rum Blind Tasting by Artur: wenig Geschmack, viel Neutralalkohol.
Review by Jarek
Auch hier macht die übliche Bewertung wenig Sinn. Sehr neutral. Die Nase hat noch eine minimale Andeutung von Rum, am Gaumen könnte es auch Wodka sein. Man könnte einen Moscow Mule damit mixen und es würde nicht auffallen.

Day 10 the funny calendar Nothing to recognize by nose, at least for me. Very watered down and thin in taste, I would never have associated it with Guyana.
Review by w00tAN
Ich rieche ein wenig Frucht, etwas verbranntes?! und neutralen Alkohol. Barcadi Blanco ist mein erster Gedanke. Im Mund dann aber zu süß dafür. Abgang eher kurz und bitter.
Review by SaibotZtar
Der Komische Adventskalender Tag 10 Puhh … ich hab kein schimmer 😅 Schmeckt nach Zuckerrohr ohne die Floralen noten … leichte Süße und höchstens 40% neige zu weniger. Sehr wässrig im Mund kaum eine richtige Zuordnung möglich zumindest für mich . Tatsächlich meine ich Parallelen zu Bacardi Blanc zu schmecken wenn ich das aus dem Gedächtnis noch kann.
Review by Leo Krüper
Wässriges nichts. Macht sich bestimmt ordentlich als Mixer.
Review by Skyfly
Klassischer Mix-Rum der 70er Jahre. Hab schon schlechtere vergleichbare Rums (Bacardi, Havanna, etc.) im Glas gehabt. Von Nase bis Abgang Kräuter und als Süße Zuckerrohr. Alkohol recht gut eingebunden.
