Tasting at J. B. Labat. A very fruity nose, banana, brown sugar, vanilla and a clear pastry note. Alcohol is quite present on the palate, followed by fruit and brown sugar. The wood and bourbon barrel are quite discreet. The finish is rather short, with wood and brown sugar. The fruit has almost disappeared. A rum that should go very well with a cigar. A very nice alternative to sweet rums.

Kneipe LiQ Bar Düsseldorf März 2025. Als zweites dann den Cave Guildive aus Guatemala. In der Nase haben wir Banane und braunen Zucker. Am Gaumen dann tropische Früchte, vor allem wieder Banane und auch wieder braunen Zucker.

Caramel, chocolate, fruity gummy bears, confectionery, dried fruit vanilla. If you didn't know, you would never guess that it is the same product as the Zacapas. A little air at the beginning does it good so that the alcohol integrates better. Wood is more in the background. Fruit and chocolate with earthy notes are in the foreground. Overall, it is light and fresh for a Central American. A great profile that I didn't know like this.

Surprisingly round and drinkable, yet full of character Guatemala single cask. Intense notes of baked banana, cappuccino and roasted, slightly bitter hazelnuts. One of the only good Guatemala rums in cask strength that I have tried to date!

Guatemala 

Avg Rating 7.4/10 over 230 Rums

Guatemala makes soft, sweet, dessert-like rum, and it does it high in the volcanic highlands where the thin, cool air slows maturation. Its base is virgin sugar cane honey, a concentrated first-press cane syrup rather than molasses, and its calling card is the Sistema Solera. One name towers over the country: Ron Zacapa.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js). The strip's visible text is rendered by Hugo itself in rx/price_block.html — nothing else needs seeding. */ -}}
