Ronrico Ronrico Gold Label 1970s
"Thin, wenig Geschmack" is the running theme here — a light Puerto Rican column rum that shows up as caramel, vanilla and a bit of wood, then fades fast. Several tasters found the vanilla a touch artificial and the body watery for 40%. One reviewer got apple and prune, milk chocolate and tobacco on the palate, but agreed there's not much to hold onto. A curiosity from an old tasting set more than a bottle you'd chase.

Aggregated from 17 community reviews.
Thin, watery vintage rum for mixing Most tasters found it thin, watery and forgettable — caramel and vanilla with a hint of artificial edge. No off-notes, but little body. Points to mixing over sipping.

Review by cigares
Dégustation des rhums de Puerto Rico d’Artur. Un nez avec du sucre, des fruits (pomme et prune), de la vanille et du bois. L’entrée de bouche est douce avec de l’alcool neutre, de la pomme et de la prune. La finale est courte mais un peu plus longue que les rhums précédents. Un rhum ennuyeux à boire pur et fait pour les cocktails.
Review by Johannes
Dünn, wenig Geschmack, eher zum Mixen.
Review by LukaŽiga
4,5:On the nose, the attack is quite alcoholic, sugary, light with spicy vanilla, wood, some apples. 5,5:On the palate, the attack is a bit more pleasant with, still alcoholic, with roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, caramel, spicy vanilla, there is a tobacco and almost no fruits. 5,3:The finish is medium short, diluted with woody caramel, vanilla, milk chocolate, we taste tobacco and apples...

Arturs Puerto Rico Tasting, danke für die tolle Übersicht und Historie :-) Ziemlich dünn, das Puerto Rico Profil ist erkennbar aber verschwindet auch sofort wieder. Keije Fehlnoten aber zum Vergessen

06.12.2024 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Erstmal vielen Dank an Artur für die extreme Mühe und dass du teilweise so alte Rums überhaupt teilst. Die Rums selber waren jetzt bis auf ein paar wenige Ausnahmen nicht wirklich der Knaller, ABER mir hat es trotzdem sehr gut gefallen, da man solche Rums überhaupt nicht mehr ins Glas bekommt als Normalsterblicher und dieses ganze Hintergrundwissen das Artur geteilt hat finde ich wahnsinnig interessant. Da ziehe ich wirklich den Hut davor. Dicker Respekt!
Review by Leo Krüper
Es geht weiter mit den künstlichen Aromen. Vanillin, junges Holz, alkoholisch... allerdings einen Hauch geschmeidiger.
Review by Mirco
Rum No. 4 Im Direktvergleich gewinnt Nr. 3 (RX21935) wirkt viel verdünnter. Vielen Dank Artur für diese Mega-Split Reise durch Rums aus Puerto Rico. Danke auch für die Arbeit die du für uns immer wieder auf dich nimmst und alte Flaschen für uns möglich machst! 😊

23.02.25 The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting Danke an Artur für die tolle Gelegenheit und Mühe. Wieder die typische Vanille in der Nase. Wässrig dünn, verbrannten Zucker und etwas ruppig für 40%
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Leider zu stark verdünnt, was aromatisch deutliche Einbußen fordert. Aromatisch halt dadurch sehr wässrig und dünn und kaum aussagekräftig. Der andere ronrico ist hier definitiv der Gewinner im Direktvergleich.
Review by Franzi
Ziemlich dünn. Absolut nicht interessant. Nicht mal sonderlich alkoholische.
Review by Skyfly
The liquid History of Puerto Rico Tasting - der Nachfolger der Nr. 3. Im Nase bis Abgang sehr ähnlich. Die Vanille wirkt in der Nase etwas künstlich. Im Gaumen und Abgang schmeckt er verdünnt. Nicht wirklich gut
