Asta Morris Rasta Morris Venezuela 2008
Most people are pleasantly surprised here — a Spanish-style Venezuela that isn't sugared into oblivion. Expect milk chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla and roasted, charred wood, with a naturally sweet, round body and dark-fruit hints. At 63.1% the heat is well tied in, though a few taste a faint perfumed edge and call it a touch one-dimensional. A little water opens up the cocoa.
The community says- Chocolate and cocoa
- Well-integrated alcohol
- Slightly one-dimensional

How does Asta Morris Rasta Morris Venezuela 2008 taste?
Aggregated from 29 community reviews.
Chocolatey, roasted Venezuela at cask strength Widely liked as one of the better Spanish-style bottlings — chocolate, spice and natural sweetness at cask strength. Some find it slightly one-note or faintly perfumed, but the alcohol integration wins praise.

Review by Tim
Super tasty Spanish rum. Very similar to Travellers from Belize. Roasty, chocolaty, woody, sweet seeming, definitely a round thing. Quite spicy and sharp in the mouth due to the high alcohol content, some water helps. Overall delicious and I'm always amazed at what Spanish rum can do.

Review by crazyforgoodbooze
incredibly tasty and sweet cask strength Venezuela rum.beautiful notes of sour sweet blackberry, sweet juicy peach, maple syrup, dark chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla bean, light salt notes, not too much wood, some roasted almonds and slight associations to cognac. very harmonious and absolutely recommended!🤤
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The unexpected of this tasting. A Hispanic type of rum. They are rare the Ron in brut de fut. They are usually found in solera mode. And it's a pity because this 2008 Venezuela (11 years old) at 63,1% is a nice surprise. Already the color alone: wahoo. In the mouth and on the nose we have the sweetness, the roundness, the unctuousness of the ron. But with this brut de fût, we have the right to a nice long finish. And that is good and cool 👌. Good job!
Review by Mentalo
Lots of (milk) chocolate, relatively much sweetness, vanilla, slightly spicy and some wood. Remains somewhat one-dimensional, but is nevertheless a well-rounded bottling that stands out positively from the representatives of the Spanish style.
Review by Oliver
Wow, totally unexpected. Has real power and flavor! Nice sweetness, chocolaty, spicy and just delicious! Please more of it, then I still become a fan of the Spanish style. 🤓Crazy how good a Botucal can taste. 😜
Review by Leo Krüper
Beautiful Venezuela. Wood, vanilla, nice and strong. Great Spanish style.
Review by Serge
Because it has been mentioned frequently in the forum as a positive example of the Spanish style, I've now had it in a glass. Yes, not sugary and not completely boring either. A better Spaniard ... but I don't have to have it again. Column profile with peppery notes alongside wood, vanilla and chocolate. Alcohol
Review by Richard Krupa
Not impressed, but not offended. Wood and caramel, for me not expressive
