Banqero Copper Swiss Premium Rum
Sweet almost to the point of plain sugar, with a prickly vegetal-peppery edge that keeps reminding people of tequila. Several tasters flag a rubbery, metallic nose and a whiff of home-still schnaps at 40%. Some find the earthy pear and black-tea notes genuinely interesting; others just find it strange. One reviewer summed it up as "a harsh agricole rum."

The look inside the bottle
How does Banqero Copper Swiss Premium Rum taste?
Aggregated from 40 community reviews.
Sweet, vegetal, tequila-like Swiss curiosity Divisive Swiss oddity. A few enjoy the sweet, earthy, peppery pear profile, but many find the nose rubbery and metallic and the taste closer to sweetened tequila than rum.

Review by Ondra RumRunner
Banqero Copper Swiss Premium Rum je jedinečný rum se švýcarským původem, který kombinuje přírodní a ovocné charakteristiky. Vůně odhaluje zemitost, náznaky minerality a medovou sladkost, doplněné tóny žlutého ovoce a hrušek. Chuť přináší harmonii mezi sladkostí, kořenitostí a ovocnými tóny, zejména broskví, s jemným nádechem černého čaje a dřevité kořeněnosti. Tento rum potěší milovníky vyvážených a komplexních chutí. English: Banqero Copper Swiss Premium Rum is a unique rum with Swiss origins, combining earthy and fruity characteristics. The aroma reveals earthiness, hints of minerality, and honeyed sweetness, complemented by notes of yellow fruits and pear. On the palate, it offers a balance of sweetness, spiciness, and fruity flavors, particularly peach, with subtle hints of black tea and woody spices. This rum appeals to those who appreciate balanced and complex profiles. Deutsch: Banqero Copper Swiss Premium Rum ist ein einzigartiger Rum mit Schweizer Herkunft, der erdige und fruchtige Charakteristika vereint. Das Aroma zeigt Erdigkeit, mineralische Noten und eine honigsüße Süße, ergänzt durch gelbe Früchte und Birne. Am Gaumen bietet er eine Harmonie aus Süße, Würze und fruchtigen Aromen, insbesondere Pfirsich, mit einem Hauch von schwarzem Tee und holziger Würze. Dieser Rum spricht Liebhaber ausgewogener und komplexer Aromen an.

With all due respect to my Swiss friends, your country should stick with what you do the best. Rum distillation is not a part of your craft. Nose is reminiscent of home made booze or fruity strawbery schnaps and strawbery jam/marmalade. Taste is surprisingly sweet, unexpectedly sweet which reminds me a cream/strawbery lollipop 🍭. This is not my cup of rum.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
24 Days of Rum 2024 - Black Edition - Day 10 Erster Eindruck: schwer, süß, fruchtig Nase: Frucht- und Hefearomen, süß, erinnert mich an Dunder, sehr lecker (7+) Gaumen: süß, fruchtig, angenehm leicht würzig Abgang: mittelkurz, Aromen entwickeln sich zu dunkleren Noten Gesamteindruck: eine echte Überraschung, bei einer Blindverkostung hätte ich auf gesüßten Jamaikaner getippt. Dunder, Süße und leichte Gewürze gefallen mir. Gemütlicher Feierabend-Sipper. Passt vielleicht sogar zum Essen.
Review by Solidfunk
Day 10 on 24 days of rum calendar. Like someone just dropped a sugar cube into a shot of nail polish remover. I'm glad these minis are small at least. It smoothes out a little after a few sips, but not exactly balanced, to say the least.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Hodně zvláštní kombinace vůni z agricole spektra, karamelu a technických tónů. Chuť originální, bylinková, lehce hořká s hruškou, karamel a koření. Závěr tvoří svěží bylinky, koření, šnaps, citrusy a hruška.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Ungewöhnlich. Vom Geruch würde ich auf agricole tippen. Süßlich-pflanzliche Noten überdeckt von muffiger Hefe. Im Geschmack wieder sehr ungewöhnlich. Süße Birne auf Tee und jungem Holz, wieder agricole artig.

Als nächstes gibt es heute den Banqero Rum aus der Schweiz. Schmeckt eigentlich ganz interessant. In der Nase bereits sehr würzig und im Geschmack kommt etwas Pfeffer zum Vorschein. Ebenso ist er etwas holzig
Review by Jakub Hrubý
Tak nevím, ale za mě má tenhle rum strašnou pachuť, cítím z toho pálenku. Některé chutě jsou zajímavé, ale kvůli tomu alkoholovému odéru pálenky to znovu už nechci.

Nose like rubber (does not smell like something I’d want to drink), but surprisingly sweet and pleasant taste.
