Romero Distilling Co. Amber Rum (Sherry Cask Finish)
Billed as a sherry-cask finish, but most tasters barely find the sherry at all — what comes through is bourbon. Young oak, vanilla, caramel and a little dried fruit, with a nose several people call weak and a palate that reads more like a light whisky than a rum. A member noted it drinks "a bit strong on the palate" for 40%.
The community says- Light vanilla-caramel nose

Bourbon-leaning rum with a faint sherry finish Average scores across the board. Most find it bourbon-forward and thin on the nose, with the promised sherry finish faint or missing. Pleasant enough, not memorable.

Review by Martin Ekrt
Příjemná svěží ovocná vůně s vanilkou. Pokračujeme ve stejném duchu i do chutě. V závěru sušené ovoce, svěží červené plody, vanilka a propsaný sud. Vše na sebe plynule navazuje. Nenáročný rum, sherry finiš dost pomohl, celkově spokojenost.

Zajímavé, asi první kanadský rum co jsem pil.

Pleasant nose, a bit strong on the palate
Review by Rumpalumpa
Unfortunately very weak on the nose. Young wood, bourbon-like. Slight fruitiness. On the palate, those bourbon notes are then much more intense, overall better than the nose. The sherry finish is subtle on the finish.

Hodně nezáživný rum.
Review by Patrik Onderka
Too weak on nose. I don’t get why the rum age is not specified. Actually not much is known about this rum in general. Anyway, it’s my first Canadian rum from Alabama. It felt quite average to me with weak notes of bourbon and cherry.

24 days of rum calendar. Mostly caramel here. Pale golden pour. Some oak. Possibly some added. Sugar.

Chuť i vůně trochu do bourbonu. Sušené ovoce, lehce dřevo, ostřejší
Review by Michael Ihmels 🇩🇪
Eigentlich ein sehr spannender Rum der mich trotzdem nicht wirklich abholt. In der Nase schwach nach Bourbon und Frucht sowie einen Hauch Vanille. Im Geschmack dann dazu ein wenig holzig. Das Sherry Finish kommt nicht wirklich zum Tragen

24 Days of Rum 2024 - Black Edition - Day 03 Erster Eindruck: Vanille, leicht, wo ist das Sherry Finish Nase: Vanille, Creme, Butter Gaumen: Fass, Vanille, bißchen kratzig Abgang: mittelkurz Gesamteindruck: feine Nase, ansonsten wenig beeindruckend, Sherry lässt sich allenfalls erahnen, schwach.
Review by epicsune 🇸🇪
Sample no.3 of the 24 days of rum calendar 2024. Fruity and sweet on the nose, vanilla and coconut. Tropical fruits with citrusy notes of orange. Palate is woody and semi-dry. The sherry cask is very hard to find.
