Aroma visualization from community tastings
Flensburg Rum Company Captain Cane XO Reserve
If you want your rum to taste like liquid dessert, this is aimed squarely at you — honey, caramel and vanilla pile on thick, with pastry and coconut behind them. Several tasters call it more liqueur than rum, and a couple picked up a faint glue note underneath. At 40% it's soft and syrupy. Most members here found it too sweet and too artificial to sip seriously.

Very sweet honey rum, more liqueur than rum The verdict skews low: drinkers keep landing on "too sweet and too artificial," with real rum character buried under honey. Fans of sweet spirits may still enjoy it.

Review by Gregor
Schmeckt wie eine Spirituose und nicht wie rum. Sehr viel Zucker und karamell. Viel Gebäck und Kokosnuss dazu noch ein wenig vanille. Für mich viel zu süß und viel zu viel Aroma. Kann ich leider nicht empfehlen
Review by Johannes
Puh, nur süß, künstliche Aromen
Review by Rumpalumpa
Das ist ein Honig Rum Likör. Nicht ganz so extrem wie der von den Kanaren, aber trotzdem sehr dickflüssig, süß und primär Honiggeschmack
Review by EnjoyLife89
Schmeckt eher wie ein süßer Dessertwein, riecht auch so. In der Nase und Geschmack schwingt ein ganz leichter Klebstoff mit.
Review by Joca
Überwiegend Süß mit leichter Würze, kräftiger Alkohol, nicht sonders interessant und vielschichtig. Zum Dessert oder süßen geeignet. Für mich eher nichts, da zu künstlich und süß.
Review by zabo
Uiuiui, what kind of sample have I found again? It doesn't help, these freebies have to go. All in all, a little better than A.H.Riise stuff, but still far too sweet and artificial for my taste. I used it as a sugar substitute for my espresso. I only gave it a 4 because it is really drinkable as a sweeter coffee.
