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.

- Coconut and caramel

The look inside the bottle
How does Asta Morris Rasta Morris 2004 taste?
Aggregated from 18 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.

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.

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.
Review by Joachim Guger
Strong associations with Foursquare and Travelers, but much more tobacco and earth. Balanced, dense nose. Lots of sweetness for an unsweetened rum. The alcohol and plenty of barrel maturity stand out in the mouth. I like it, the best ron I've had to date. The rest of the samples will accompany a Cazadores, for which this ron is certainly perfect.
Review by lukasdrinkinghabits
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.

Review by zabo
From the first nose, I would definitely have guessed a Foursquare. A rum that is very misleading. But unfortunately it can't deliver what the nose promises in the mouth. It's a bit over the top and seems very alcoholic. The aftertaste is very nutty again and a certain creaminess emerges. All in all, it is a very fine rum from Nicaragua. I was really pleasantly surprised here, but unfortunately I wouldn't need a whole bottle because it's not my preferred profile. What I do like, however, is the real sweetness that develops. Very suitable as a mixer in the CubaLibre.
Review by Morgan Garet
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.
Review by Stijn Zino
More on the wood side then the Wine 4 You Nicaragua wich is more fruity. But very delicious.
