Industria Licorera de Caldas Ron Viejo de Caldas Añejo 3 Años
What surprises most people here is how little there is: a light, thin Colombian column-still rum that shows up with green apple, a touch of tropical fruit and a mild sweetness, then vanishes almost instantly. Several tasters mention a musty, faintly metallic or plastic note. As one put it, "nothing bad, nothing special" — an everyday, easy-drinking pour rather than something to sit with.
The community says- Light and easy
- Near-absent finish
- Thin body

First of all, a BIG THANK YOU to TheDunderHut for being part of the Wird&Blind set again. Together with DomM they took on this task. Unfortunately there was no unicorn, but we tried some great rare things that are otherwise hard to get hold of. The only thing I really missed were the stories about every single rum in the splitter.

Weird and blind Tasting Set von Artur. Vielen Dank für die Möglichkeit hier dran teilhaben zu dürfen. Sorry, aber dieser Rum ist absolut nichts für mich, trotz des niedrigem ABV seht alkoholisch, leicht metallisch und etwas röstig.
Review by LukaŽiga
6,5:On the nose, roasted wood notes with caramel, pastry, nuts, burnt sugar, spicy, metallic patina, musty and floral molasses, plastic hints and apple, banana, bump into our nosetrils.Nothing special goes on later. 5,8:On the palate, the attack is sweet, slightly bitter, alcoholic, light with roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, caramel, cocoa, cardboard, the molasses is floral, vegetal, the fruits dried, citrus and yellow, as some metallic patina comes in. 5,2:The finish is short, dry, bitter, sweet with hints of dried fruits, roasted wood notes, metallic patina.
Review by Mentalo
Arturs weird and blind tasting. Im Blindflug hatte ich keine Ahnung was das sein könnte. Leicht fruchtig, bringt relativ viel Süße mit. Für 37,5 % ist das aber ok, auch wenn der Abgang dadurch nicht existent ist.
Review by Skyfly
Arturs Weird & Blind Tasting #1: Die Nase ist gar nicht mal sooo übel wie der Name vermuten lässt. Im Gaumen wird man dann doch auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurückgeholt und der Abgang - welcher Abgang? Der "Abgang" ist einfach minimal
Review by Thunderbird
Das ist für mich ein Rum der Sorte: muss nicht sein. Die Nase geht noch halbwegs, aber am Gaumen und spätestens im Abgang verliert er mich völlig… es bleibt nur ein bitterer chemischer Nachgeschmack haften
Review by Rumpalumpa
Jetzt gehe ich auch mal mein weird & blind Set an, vielen Dank an Arthur. Nr. 1 ist unspektakulär. Insgesamt einfach sehr dünn und nichtssagend. Der Alkohol bringt an der Nase eine Note von billigem Plastik, sehr komisch
Review by Johannes
Weird and Blind tasting @Artur: Schokolade, Pfirsich, leichte (vielleicht unnatürliche) Süße, etwas dünn.
Review by Fuwi
Interessantes Blind Tasting, mal probieren was man sonst nicht trinken würde - danke an TheDunderHut! Leichtes Getränk, bringt ein paar nette Aromen mit - sicher guter Mixer und am Strand bestimmt ganz ok, muss ich keine Flasche von haben
Review by DomM
On the nose rather musty. With a bit of fruits (green apples) on the nose and on the palate. On the palate with some sweetness and musty notes again.

Plain rum. Nothing bad, nothing special.
Review by DutchRumPirate
Weird and Blind tasting #1. Geur heeft iets zoetigs, fruitig. Lichte ananas en fris. Smaak: Lijkt gelijk dood te vallen in de mond maar later komt hij tot leven. Zeer zachte rum. Zoetig, fruitig en dan denk je hier komt het!! Ennnnn het verdwijnt zo snel zoals het verschijnt. Afdronk: zeer kort tot niet aanwezig. Conclusie, niet slecht maar ook niet goed. Niet speciaal.. Zeker een leuke rum om eens geproefd te hebben.

Read full review →It's not unpleasant because it just doesn't have any character or flavour to make it unpleasant. If I had paid the retail price here in the UK (around £30) I'd have been pretty furious to be honest. Apologies for being brief but there are only so many ways I can...
