Captain Barbossa Asian Pacific Selected Rum
"Not lifechanging, but pretty tasty looking at price and ABV," as one member put it. Vanilla, caramel and a bit of wood, with marzipan and some pepper on the warm finish. A few noticed a slightly chemical or artificial-strawberry note in the tail, and it reads a touch sweetened. Most people keep it around for rum and cola, though it's drinkable neat too.
The community says- Unbeatable value
- Easy rum-cola base

How does Captain Barbossa Asian Pacific Selected Rum taste?
Aggregated from 26 community reviews.
Easy, sweetish everyday mixer Nobody calls it exciting, but the price-to-drinkability ratio wins people over. Great for rum and cola, passable neat; some catch a chemical, over-sweetened edge on the finish.

Dieser Rum verändert zwar nicht dein Leben, die hohe Pubktzahl basiert auf seinen unverschämt guten Preis! Einer der besten Rum-Sorten für so wenig Geld (8,,99€)

Erster Eindruck: lieblich, aromatisch Nase: leicht fruchtig, Marzipan, leicht Gaumen: hier muss man den Aromen schon ordentlich nachspüren, nichts vordergründiges Abgang: kurz und leicht Gesamteindruck: nur mit Cola, in einer namenlosen Bowle/Punch oder als Alkoholspritze für Säfte. Naja, was erwartet man für 7,99€
Review by Rumpalumpa
Eine positive Überraschung aus dem Penny Regal. Wirklich wie gemacht für Rum-Cola. An sich nichts besonderes, aber er macht definitiv einen deutlich älteren Eindruck als die Angabe von >2 Jahre vermuten lässt. Blind hätte ich ihn in die Dom-Rep verortet. Etikett sagt Philippinen und Thailand, interessant...
Review by DomM
Ok, this is indeed very solid. Classic notes you would expect from a moderately priced column rum: vanilla, caramel, some wood but als quite some spices and a hint of fruits are present on the nose and palate. A hint of artificial strawberries on the finish. This is not lifechaning, but pretty tastey looking at price and ABV. Obviously this will not hold up versus full proof bottlings, but that is not surprising at all.
Review by Andreas Nop
Also für 7.99€ ein echtes Highlight. Für RUM Cola eine TOP Empfehlung! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Review by DerAlexausHRO
Preis-Leistung topp. Fürn Cubalibre sehr gut geeignet, aber auch pur genießbar. Nicht der beste Rum aller Zeiten aber für 9 Euro echt stark.
Review by MaxC
Haut niemanden vom Hocker, aber rundum solide; +1 in der Gesamtwertung wegen unschlagbarem Preis (7.99€ im lokalen Penny)
Review by Rum Schnacker Falk Redlich
für das geld brauchbarer mixer. geht deutlich schlexhter. trotzdem dünne aromen. deshalb ideal zum cola rum easy drink
Review by Onkel_Ig
Fruchtig, leicht vanillige Nase, leichter alkoholanklang. Auf der Zunge würzig, leichte Holznoten, Alkohol ist schmeckbar- pfeffrige Note.. nicht weltbewegendes, aber hey, ich habe 7,99€ dafür gezahlt! Er schlägt damit so manches namenhaftes Produkt für mehr Geld - deutlich!.
Review by PakRT84
Vom Geschmack eher in Richtung 5, was ja auch alles andere als schlecht ist. Kann ja nicht alles 8-10 sein. Für den Preis aber durchaus zu empfehlen, kommt jedenfalls besser als so manch anderer Discounter Rum in dem Segment.Deshalb 7.
Review by Marko Köpke
Nichts was du nicht verpassen darfst, aber bei dem Preis, was gutes zum Mischen und auch um mal einen kleinen am Abend zu naschen. Sicher nichts für den Start in den Abend, jedoch gut für den vorgeschriebenen Abend, wenn es noch einer sein darf. Bei dem Preis Leistungs Verhältnis, kann der ruhig Platz in der Hausbar finden.
Review by Jakob Deiner
Tropische Früchte mit Vanille in Geruch und Geschmack, mild, gewisse Süße. Abgang relativ pfefferig-scharf, warm. Für den Preis wirklich gut. Drinks: - Pur: 4/5
