Aroma visualization from community tastings
CDI Veneragua 2005
Anyone easing into dry, unsweetened Spanish-style rum will find this an easy landing. It's a Venezuela-Nicaragua blend that leans caramel, toffee and vanilla up front, with pear and a nutty edge, then a drier finish of tobacco and leather. Light and silky at 45%, no fireworks — several members call it a fair-value, no-fuss pour they'd happily rebuy.

Easy, dry Spanish-style sipper, caramel and tobacco The recurring verdict: pleasant, well-balanced, and a good value everyday sipper. Nobody calls it a highlight — the finish is short and it stays simple.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
This is a really nice rum from CDI blended from Venezuelan and Nicaraguan rum (60% Venezuela and 40% Nicaragua). A wonderful herbal and spice nose once rested going into a silky light palate with a nice but short finish. This is an easy to drink rum without all the whistles and bells of a high proof or super complex taste. The price tag is very good compared to the quality.

Doux et suave en bouche sans avoir l’impression de trop de sucre. Excellent surprise. Je ne vais pas hésiter à en racheter une à l’occasion.

Rhum sans prétention et de très bon rapport qualité prix. Ça passe tout seul. Grosse dominance de la vanille et du caramel. Final cuir et tabac blond. Très bon
Review by Harald
Farbe: Bernstein Geruch: Süß und frisch, dominiert von Karamell, Fudge und Toffee Aromen. Aber auch fruchtig (Birne) und nussig. Geschmack Süß und vollmundig mit viel Toffee zu Beginn, dann dominieren Kaffee Aromen. Leicht würzig pfeffrig mit Lakritz. Zudem etwas Tabak und Leder. Abgang: Kurz bis mittellang, trocken, dominiert von Tabak und Leder-Aromen. Holzig und leicht bitter im Abgang. Fazit: Gewiss kein Highlight, aber ein gefälliger Rum, der sich gut trinken lässt.
Review by Leo Tomczak
Einer meiner ersten ungezuckerten Rums. Und gleichzeitig die erste Flasche, die Ich auf einer Auktion gewann. Simpler Einsteiger in ungezuckerte spanische Stile ohne viel Dampf und Komplexität. Tut aber genau das, was man erwarten würde und das zu einem super Preis.

sehr schön ausgewogener Single cask blend mit überraschend viel eigensüße
