Aroma visualization from community tastings
Spirits of Old Man Rum Project Four Vanilla Cane
Opinions land all over the map here. Newcomers call it "sweet and like walking into a bakery" — big vanilla, caramel, butterscotch, a soft banana note and a mild 40% body. But several seasoned tasters find the vanilla too artificial (one compared it to Don Papa) and the flavor monotone and watered down. A dessert-leaning bottle more than a serious sipper.
The community says- Big vanilla aroma
- Mild and soft
- Tastes sweetened

Review by Dirk
Für mich ein guter Rum, der stark Richtung Süß, Vanille, Sahnebonbon geht. Die leichte Fruchtnote empfinden ich als Banane. In der Nase hatte ich keine Gewürzaromen, im Mund dann ein angenehmes leichtes prickeln auf der Zunge.
Review by J.V.
Die Vanille-Note ist viel zu künstlich, fast wie bei Don Papa. Nach Project 1-3 eher enttäuschend.
Review by nick_nick1
Sehr angenehmer Geruch nach Vanille und Früchte. Geschmacklich sehr angenehm. Fruchtig angenehme Schärfe mit langen Abgang.
Review by Stefan Graßl
Die Vanille sticht sehr heraus. Insgesamt aber leicht verwässert. Um ein Spitzenrum zu sein müsste der Geschmack langanhaltender sein.

Sweet and like walking into a bakery 😊
Review by Rumpalumpa
Auch bei diesem Spirit of old Man muss man nicht nur Zucker sondern auch zugesetzte Aromen vermuten. Insgesamt aber ganz stimmig. Vanille, Zimt und Kuchenteig. Also praktische Weihnachtsplätzchen. Im Abgang etwas wie Rum-Aroma zum Backen, komisch.
Review by Tim
Der Name ist Programm: Vanille. Es riecht wie im Süßigkeitenladen nach allerlei. Die Aromen in Mund sind enttäuschend monoton und zuckersüß, viel gibt es dazu nicht zu sagen. Selbst unter der Betrachtung als Einsteigerrum gibt es vermutlich bessere Alternativen.
Review by Gregor
Dieser war in meinem rum Weihnachtskalender. Der rum ist Mild, weich, karamelig, vanilla und sehr süß. Schmeckt leider wie hunderte andere. Für Einsteiger genau das richtige. Für mich zu süß. Deswegen keine weiterempfehlung von mir
Review by Business Liner Ralf
spiced rum , versuch Mainstream zu erzeugen, ist angenehm, aber echte Rhums bevorzuge ich. Aus der Serie Project der schwächste Rum.
