Thomas Sontheimer T.Sonthi Plum Cake Edition (Ron Zuarin)
Opinions land hard on opposite ends here: one beginner was happily surprised by the soft, sweet plum, while most regulars found it cloying and barely rum-like. Expect sugared, syrupy plum with vanilla and a walnut undertone — closer to a Chinese-restaurant plum liqueur than a traditional rum. A few also flagged a sharp alcohol bite that fights the heavy sweetness.

Aggregated from 10 community reviews.
Sweet, syrupy plum — more dessert than rum Very divisive. Newcomers who want sweet, easy fruit may enjoy it; experienced drinkers mostly call it too sweet, artificial and barely rum, with a surprising alcohol sharpness for the style.

Uiuiui a really tough number the part. It was once a side dish from some order, don't worry, I wouldn't have bought such a sample voluntarily. Would certainly have been suitable 35 years ago to loosen up girls at their first parties, but now it's nothing at all! Sweet, artificial and even sweeter. Reminds me of that plum liqueur you often get as a gift from Chinese shops. Nothing to do with rum in my opinion, A.H.Riise is a grail in comparison 🤣

Whisky'n'More Hattingen März 2026. Als Sample mitgenommen. Um das letzte mitgebrachte Samplefläschchen auch noch zu füllen, wurde nach einiger Suche noch diese Rumspirituose (flüssiges Dessert) von T. Sonthi gefunden, welche noch nicht verkostet wurde. Schöne Messe gewesen :)

#6339 06/08.02.2026 My first visit to The Village in Nuremberg and it was a very pleasant surprise. I will definitely attend again as there is more than enough rum going around. I hate these rums, where they infuse all kinds of stuff. I was spoken into trying this one and I regretted it afterwards. A sweet to very sweet rum with fruit especially plum and light wood. This is definitely not my cup of tea.
Review by Daniel Kennste Doch
Nase: Gezuckerte, eingelegte Pflaumen und Vanille strömen einem kräftig entgegen. Schon in der Nase ist der Rum Spirit sehr süß, begleitet wird er von Walnuss. Mund: Am Gaumen gibt sich der T.Sonthi & Ron Zuarin Plum Cake Edition Rum aufdringlich süß und leider gar nicht soo pflaumig wie noch in der Nase. Mir fehlt leider die gewisse Frische und Fruchtigkeit, die dem Stoff Abwechslung beschert hätte. So ist es m.E. eine sehr süße, homegene, zähflüssige Rumspirituose, die für meinen Gaumen deutlich zu süß geraten ist. Eine gewisse Würze von Eichenholz schwingt ebenso mit wie der nussige Unterton aus der Nase. Vanille und Pflaumen kommen vor allem beim Abgang wieder deutlich zurück. Wer es sehr süß mag, der wird mit diesem Tropfen sicher gut zurechtkommen. Auch als Ersatz für ein Dessert (auch von der Zuckermenge) gut denkbar. Rumnoten, insbesondere Barbados, aber auch ein Hauch Jamaica, kommen leider für mich etwas zu kurz. Hatte wahrscheinlich einfach eine andere Erwartung.
Review by Kornbrandt
Dem Rum schmeckt und riecht nach dem was er verspricht: süße, fruchtige Pflaume. Was nicht ganz so gut rein passt ist die schärfe des Alkohols. Die ist doch recht prägnant und mir persönlich ein zu intensiv für so einen süßen Rum.
