Paranubes Oaxaca
Most people here mix it into a daiquiri, and that's where it really clicks. Neat at 54% it's a savory bomb — olive brine, tomato, fermented sugarcane, a whiff of grass and smoke that keeps reminding tasters of mezcal. In the shaker it turns fresher and fruitier, with banana and lime coming through. One reviewer nailed it: "a very different beast."
The community says- Olive-tomato funk
- Great in daiquiris
- But: Savory, not for all

How does Paranubes Oaxaca taste?
Aggregated from 132 community reviews.
Savory olive-and-tomato cane juice, made for daiquiris Widely liked as a fresh, wildly original cane-juice rum and a fair deal — most agree the savory olive-and-tomato profile is a treat mixed, but a tough sip neat.

This rum has turned my drinking behavior upside down. Before that, I drank wine almost exclusively. This daiquiri opened up a new world for me. "Wild fermentation, freshcut grass" was on the menu at Gone Away Bar (RIP😪).It's mostly the fermented, savory, salty vegetal flavors that set this Cane Juice rum apart from the French agricoles. The nose is marked by savory antipasti: olives, artichokes, hot peppers. In addition, grass and tobacco. Fruit is there too: gooseberry and lime, but quite a bit behind. In the daiquiri it becomes a bit fruitier and fresher. The savory notes, however, remain and you have to like them. I like them.In the mouth it is soft but still quite unusual: olives, olives, olives. Brine, ginger with green peppers. Also the often described mezcal note.In the finish more olive, artichokes and brine.Pure is honestly too crass for me, but in the daiquiri he is gigantic.

This is similar to many high abv cane juice rhums, with notes of olive brine and tomato sauce. It's not bad but it's too savory for my taste. I mix this with lime. I won't rebuy.
Review by Mike H.
My first Mexican rum. Interesting profile that comes close to some unaged Savannas that I recently sampled. Some of these rums can have a rather aggressive olive smell and taste but this one had just the right amount of it. Edited a typo in my commentary.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5147 15.03.2025 Running a few samples at home. Nose Intense, fruity, sugarcane, light smoke, light tomato, light olive, light vegetal, light citrus. Palate Intense, fruity, sugarcane, light tomato, light grass, light olive, faint salt, warm, citrus, light mineral. Finish Long and warm, fruits, light mineral, faint smoke, citrus, light earthy, spice. Empty glass Olive, light mineral, sugarcane, light floral. A few drops of water will open up the flavour profile a lot.
Review by Aussierumfan
Wow, this juice is hectic, if I had one word to describe it i would say Tomato's!! A very quick tasting neat, I'm sure it would be a great mixer for sure. I'm getting some olive as well? Is quite Herbal and grassy, I never had anything quite like it before!
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
interesting style
Review by Christian Rudt
Den hatte ich einst nach einem Rum Depot online Tasting begeistert bestellt und dann irgendwie im Regal vergessen. Völlig zu unrecht. Volle Ladung Zuckerrohr in der Nase. Super aromatisch. Wird dann am Gaumen zunehmend mineralisch. Fruchtig, Floral, würzig der bringt alles mit. Im Daiquiri muss ich ihn daher dringend noch probieren.
Review by Lutz Lungershausen
06.2023 It was more of an interesting experience for me to see how wide the rum spectrum is than to really like it. Antipasti, pickled olives, herbs, salt ... in a blind tasting I would have guessed mezcal rather than rum. Perhaps as a digestif or as a sensory surprise in mixers.
Review by Eric Frechin
A real favorite! Tasted by 3 and all were unanimous: it has many qualities: The nose already offers a beautiful aromatic palette. The palate is beautifully complex, evolving from green banana, olive (discreet) and grass/cane/honey. It also holds up well on the palate.
Review by Rumpalumpa
Nicht direkt rauchig aber die mineralisch-pflanzlichen Noten die ins Herzhafte übergehen erinnern sofort an Mezcal. Am Gaumen aber nicht wirklich ein Sipper für mich. Darauf, was der in Cocktails kann, bin ich gespannt!
Review by Timo Groeger
Good part. I can smell a nice sugar cane aroma on the nose. This continues on the palate with tropical fruits. Tastes slightly herbal and agricole. You really can't complain. Solid.
Review by Vincent D
Un rhum qui ne ressemble à rien que je connaisse. Ce qui s'en rapproche le plus serait peut-être un Savanna très fort sur l'olive. Ici, ce sont de très loin les notes végétales qui sautent au nez. En bouche, impression confirmée. C'est intense et piquant mais très agréable. Belle découverte. Très étonnant.
Review by abaker-rum
This rum starts with olive brine on the nose with some vegetal and meaty characteristics once you get past the olive. The tastes is carries the vegetal and olive and has some burn. This drinks like the 54 proof it is, no hiding that. The finish is long with mostly vegetal and olive notes but there is a bit of menthol and solvent to it. Overall, I think this will make an interesting rum to create savory cocktails.
Review by Lot-NAS
Overall a great unaged Rum and nice to see more unknown distillery’s getting more into our focus. For the tasting review see above. Only one thing to add: Bana peel on the palate and even more in finish. And somehow in combination with limes this evolves into full grown bananas. I had banana daiquiris that taste less like banana as this one does. However that works, I really liked it.
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Interesting one. Got a huge Mezcal/Tequila vibe from the smell (yet it's not so medicinal). Pretty velvetty mouthfeel. Sort of raw but elegant at the same time. Not too bad. Very typical though. Raw. Green. Vegetal.
Review by Torsten vom Endt
Very good white rum has everything that a varied rum must have. The high alcohol content is not so noticeable and every sip offers a new surprise, sometimes more sweet, sometimes more spicy. The price-performance ratio is very good. I give it a 9.1 because of the variety in every sip 😃
Review by kondgab
Not my type of agricole
Review by Steffmaus🇩🇰
Tried this one at my second favorite bar in Copenhagen. The nose is very typical agricole, but in the taste it has a smoothness to it, even though it's at 54% ABV. In the notes I found fruits and herbs, very tasty
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Up front, this is a great representative of the 'shows what's possible' category.Olive, artichoke, bacon, mezcal, salt and an 'on the verge of rotten' fruit basket pour out of the glass here with force. Grassy, fresh notes behind. A touch of citrus and earth come along as well. Overall, though, you're really close to agave here.On the palate, then, salty and mineral at first before the antipasti plate shows itself very broadly. Olive, agave and bacon are present here again. Texture velvety warm. In the second half of the sip it becomes surprisingly fruity. Tropical and overripe, honeyed sweetness and a transition into fruit brandy. The finish is not spicy, but gingery warm-spicy.Wickedly awesome stuff, but certainly not a crowd pleaser. In the daiquiri an absolute board.
Review by Émile Shevek
The nose is round and smooth with ripe and fermented, vegetable, corn, green peppers, lychee, sugarcane, vinegar and something floral. The palate, on the other hand, is totally different, it has notes of smoked dates, honey and sugarcane, in the finish also umami/esters and some savoriness. It seems to have 10 degrees less and retains a good roundness. In the empty glass mild roasted and smoked herring. Peculiar and interesting
Review by Christoph
Besides the typical Agricole notes especially in the nose bacony, somewhat smoky. Present grassy notes but also light tobacco note and earthy finish.
Review by Oliver
Rather reminiscent of mezcal.
Review by Mateusz
Very prominent olive taste and nose. Delicate sweetness, mainly vegetal and dry. Less thick & oily than Clarins.
Review by Shawn
First off very different but good. This the the first Mexican rum I've tasted. It definitely has a funk to it on the nose and I can't quite put my finger on it. Still slightly funky taste. When I say funk it's a good funk not bad. I really liked it, but I am partial to tequila so when it comes to a Mexican spirt I may be swayed to give it a higher review. I really enjoyed it 83/100
Review by Tschusikowsky
Delicious, light and complex. Good rum for a drinking men's evening.
Review by Barnagricole
Pepper, eucalyptus, mint, sugar cane, citrus. Freshness and roundness. Tart red fruit finish with a hint of vinegar.
Review by Adrien B
Condensé, presque fumé, minéral, iodé fruit rouge léger, cuir léger . Un côté crade artisanal. Ce n'est pas ce que je recherche sur un blanc
Review by Roman Staroń
Thanks to yeast beforehand. For that, sugar cane.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
The nose is charming on the fermented cane, it is very floral. It is very far from my benchmarks related to agricultural rums. It is earthy, as after mowing the wet grass. It is fresh and fruity on red fruits (raspberry), we find a net of olive. There's a Clairin style to it, rather sweet and smoky-salty. It is not incredible in the nose, but it is rather nice and we want to taste it. In mouth, it is well balanced and greedy. We are less on the fruity but again on the herbaceous. There is again this note of olive a bit like Savanna which comes out.
Review by Ayc
Nez très sur la sauce burger aigre doux et ketchup. Pas tant sur la saumure. Mais plutôt olive fraîche. Texture in-croyable tres grasse en plus d’une belle sucrosité, artichaud, poivron, légère capres fin de bouche un peu tequila. C’est chouette

Review by Jack M
I expected more from this and was hoping to maybe find something unique which might be attributable to Mexico terroir. Positively it is a perfectly fine unaged sugarcane based rum, but that’s it. On the nose there are lots of vegetal, grass, fresh, olive, black tea notes. The palate is consistent with the nose mostly, but hot and with some minerality and citrus. The finish is again olive and grass.
Review by Madi Dromamad
Un pur jus de canne d'une grande fraîcheur et très puissant aromatiquement. Excellent rapport qualité prix, idéal pour les daiquiris.
Review by Rob Balazs
Tomato and olive, fruit and funk. This is a very different beast.
Review by Beaureve
Nase: vor allem Oliven. Dazu Agricolnoten und eine leichte Süße. Etwas überreif (fruchtig?). Geschmack: Olive und Agricole mit leichter Süße. Für 54% sehr mild. Schmeckt gut. PLV sehr gut. Bräuchte ich pur nicht nochmal. Könnte aber sehr interessant für einen Daiquiri sein. Gerne mal auch was anders aus Mexiko probieren.
Review by Peder Frits Nielsen
First time I tasted this rum, I thought someone ne was pulling a joke on me… Never had I tried a rum, where the scent of fermented tomatoes and fermented hay was so strong… After the initial chock, Paranubes actually grew on me - and today I really enjoy sipping a glass of this Mexican in uncasked rum 😋
Review by Rum Runner Labs - Will
A funky Mexican rum that reminds me of Grenada. The nose is meaty and smoky, but the palate is a lot more interpretable to me; fruits, spices and a toasted sweetness compliment the more aggressive meaty and chemical notes.
Review by Josef Barot
Výborny bílý rum velmi intenzivní vůně tento základní paranubes mam opravdu rád a rád se k němu vracim
Review by Solidfunk
Starts off with that grassy, green pepper cachaca smell. Water white pour. Vanilla mostly in the nose with a hint of tangerine that comes on very nice in the end. Tangerine marmalade. Medium to long finish. Tasted at El Tasting Room as part of a flight.
Review by Nicholas Hardy
Black olive, canned stewed tomatoes, salinity, fresh, balanced Makes a fun, fresh slightly Smokey daq

Guava and perhaps artificial strawberry on the nose. Less fruity on the palate, astringent and spicy.
