Arehucas Carta Oro

4.4/10 31 community reviews ↓

Reach for this only if you need a cheap, sweet base for cola and cocktails. At just one year old and 37.5%, it's thin and heavy on raw alcohol, with faint honey, vanilla and citrus behind the spirit heat. One member bluntly called it "coloured vodka," and most agree there's little happening once you sip it neat.

How does Arehucas Carta Oro taste?

Aggregated from 31 community reviews.

Thin, sweet airport mixer, not a sipper Widely seen as a spritzy, sweetened mixer with almost no rum character of its own. Fine buried in cola; disappointing on its own, even for the low expectations most brought to it.

Spritzy, flat, sweetened. Despite the low %, it tastes of neutral alcohol. There is a hint of hazelnut at the very end. Really not good, not even as a vacation souvenir.

OK for mixing. But nothing at all for drinking straight

I like this version the least of what I've tried from the brand. Very fizzy and otherwise hardly any taste of its own. Not a real pleasure even with cola. But it only costs 12€/liter.

3.9/10

A very simple and thin rum with a short storage time. The nose and taste are characterized by a pungent alcohol trail, with thin notes of honey, vanilla and citrus fruit throughout. Only suitable as a mixer.

A delicate experience! It's very sweet and the aromatic profile is very very flat on sweetness, honey and vanilla. The finish is, as you'd expect, very short and uninteresting. Better with a Coke!

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

Young, alcohol heavy with some metallic, tobacco-ey notes which just all meld into a pretty awful experience be it as a mixer or a sipper. I suppose at only 12 months of ageing you shouldn't expect much. To be fair I didn't expect much so I wasn't overly disappointed. This...
