Casa Barú Pure Single Rum
Most tasters land in the same spot: the nose is the best part, the palate less so. You get molasses, cocoa and young roasted wood up front, then toffee and milk chocolate — but the 40% thins it out and a bitter, slightly cardboard note creeps in for some. A couple of members found it dull neat and better in cola.

The look inside the bottle
How does Casa Barú Pure Single Rum taste?
Aggregated from 14 community reviews.
Mild, woody Panama rum, better mixed than neat Reads as a mild, wood-and-toffee Latin-style rum most found pleasant but unremarkable. Several wanted a few more years and a higher proof to give it some backbone.

Review by Tim
Ups, die Früchte haben sich hier komplett versteckt. Schade, stattdessen sehr kräftiger Fasseinschlag mit allem was dazu gehört. Im Mund genau das gleiche. Das leere Glas verströmt tolle Vanillearomen!

First of all, many thanks to crazyforgoodbooze for providing the bottles free of charge. As for the rum itself, I have to say that it's not really a winner when tasted neat, although as a mixer it delivers above average in my opinion. Unfortunately reduced to 40%, with a little more oomph it might have been more.
Review by Leo Krüper
Ja, wir sind beim Flagschiff Rum angekommen. Und ich erkenne hier tatsächlich einen Rum. Leicht gesüßt, typischer Lateinamerikanischer Art eines Rums. Nichts was man getrunken haben muss. In der Cola sicher nett.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
5y old rum from Chiriqui, Panama. Relatively dry and definitely unsweetened. Overall, however, it is unfortunately a little boring and insignificant. A few more years of maturation and a few % more would certainly help here, but to be honest I don't see the point in buying such a young rum for around 50-60€. There's too much other good stuff for less money.
Review by primus
Ganz netter, aber einfacher Rum. Ist ein Rum, den man aus der spanischen Tradition heraus erwarten würde, viel Karamell und Toffee, holzgeprägt und Kakao. Ziemlich mild und ein wenig fad, dabei aber keineswegs schlecht.
Review by Thunderbird
Hmm… irgendwie kann ich hiermit nicht so wirklich was anfangen.. am Gaumen habe ich so einen leicht muffigen Geschmack, wie feuchter alter Karton. Und das ist nicht wirklich aromatisch. Der Rest ist okay, mehr aber auch nicht
Review by Christian Rudt
Macht die Nase hier noch Spaß ist mit der Verdünnung am Gaumen einfach Schluss mit lustig. Gute Ansätze sind da. Schöne Kaffeenote. Dazu etwas Tabak. Am Gaumen mehr in Richtung Kakao. Das kann man trinken aber es ist schnell vergessen
Review by DomM
Not really a fan tbh. While the nose is somewhat interesting/destinct, I don’t get much in the palate aside from toffee notes. Yet there is also a stron bitterness in the evolution.
Review by Johannes
Leichte Fehlnoten von verbotenen Früchten.
