Asta Morris Rasta Morris 2004

Most people like this one, but agree the nose oversells it: several tasters swore blind it was a Foursquare — coconut, caramel, raisin, hazelnut — and then found the 64.4% a bit hot and one-dimensional on the palate. A few drops of water pull out a nutty, minty freshness. Naturally sweet-seeming despite no added sugar, though it can lean woody for some.

The look inside the bottle

How does Asta Morris Rasta Morris 2004 taste?

Aggregated from 17 community reviews.

Coconut-and-caramel Nicaraguan, hot but tasty Well-liked Nicaraguan that noses like a Foursquare — coconut, raisin, nutty caramel. Most enjoy it; the common gripe is a hot, wood-heavy palate that doesn't fully match the nose.

Perfect for

Fans of Foursquare, Travellers and sweet-nosed cask-strength rum

Less suitable for

Anyone put off by high, dominant alcohol or heavy oak

Starke Assoziationen zu Foursquare und Travellers, jedoch viel mehr Tabak und Erde. Ausgewogene, dichte Nase. Für einen ungesüssten Rum viel Süße. Im Mund sticht der Alkohol und reichlich Fassreife. Mir gefällt er, der beste Ron, den ich bis dato hatte. Der Rest der Samples wird eine Cazadores begleiten, dafür ist dieser Ron sicher perfekt.

Update: Nut nougat instead of caramel candy factory. Very nutty. Otherwise, blind, I probably would have mistaken it for a Foursquare: Coconut, raisins, very ripe stone fruit, some wood. Very soft and sweet, but quite intense for a Spaniard.In the mouth it is just as intense thanks to cask strength but not as complex. I find coconut again, dried fruit, some caramelized popcorn. The rum is not sweetened and without a sweetening finish, but still the sweet impression remains very present. The 64.4% is well integratedIn the soft finish, coconut and caramel linger very long. In the mouth and finish almost without bitterness, but unfortunately also without deep spice.Nice Spaniard that does not get boring thanks to cask strength. Special recommendation for fans of Travelers and Foursquare.

Excellent rum from Nicaragua. I would have blindly put by the strong coconut note direction Foursquare. Intense, but still drinkable and tasty. Deduction is for the not ideally integrated alcohol content.

Von der ersten Nase, hätte ich definitiv auf einen Foursquare getippt. Ein Rum der sehr in die irre führt. Aber leider kann er im Mund nicht das halten, was die Nase verspricht. Er ist schon ein bißchen drüber und wirkt sehr alkoholisch. Im Nachgang wirkt er dann doch wieder sehr nussig und eine gewisse cremigkeit kommt hervor. Alles in allem ist er doch ein sehr feiner Rum aus Nicaragua. Bin hier wirklich postiv überrascht worden, aber eine ganze Flasche bräuchte ich leider nicht davon, weil es nicht mein bevorzugtes Profil ist. Was ich aber schön finde ist die wirkliche Süße die sich bei ihm entfaltet. Als Mixer sehr geeignet im CubaLibre.

The rum is not bad. The alcohol I find very dominant, a few drops of water help. The flavors form a nice transition from outside dried fruit on the nose and palate to the barrel influence at the back of the palate and finish.Mit but lacks something special for a higher rating.

Superbe nez très gourmand, a la manière d'un Foursquare. En bouche, l'alcool est très/trop présent. Après quelques gouttes d'eau, la gourmandise perçue au nez est bien présente avec en plus une fraîcheur menthol. Finale longue sur le menthol les épices et le boisé.
