La Hechicera Fine Aged Rum
Sipped neat or over ice, this Colombian column-still blend leans into vanilla, cocoa, milk chocolate and woody spice, with a little orange peel and dried fruit around the edges. Several tasters call it a mild, honest everyday sipper that's dry rather than sugared. The catch shows up in the mouth: at 40% it reads a touch thin, and the wood can flatten the fruit the nose promises.
The community says- Unsweetened
- Cocoa and vanilla
- But: Thin at 40%

Review by Nando70
An extremely decent rum for the price. Very South American style (and joy) without sugar. A product to have in your bar without second thoughts... A typical South American nose... Woody, floral, and fruity, all in a gentle way. A fruity palate leaning towards coffee and caramel with a nice spicy kick... A short, woody, and spicy finish... A bit of a shame. But that doesn't take away from its qualities. It could use a few more degrees of ABV.

Nothing stood out on this one for me other than a little oak flavor. It was a solid drink straight, but had a stronger after burn than I would’ve hoped. Mixed was just okay. I tried two different bottles over a few years, and averaged the two. I did think the bottle was a strong one, especially with the wax seal.

beautiful unsweetened
Review by DosenZorn
Have bought this rum mainly because of the beautiful bottle. Actually a Red Flag, if you are looking for good taste, this one has surprised me relatively positively. Due to the only 40% somewhat watered down and thin and not too complex but a nice Feierabend Sipper at a good price. Definitely a great entry rum and superior to the many dead sugared competitors.Addendum: last drop is out of the bottle. Complex? Rather less. Good sipper? Definitely. A good unsweetened representative of the Spanish style. A little more power would have done it good. A >50% version would be nice. Still, great price/performance. Overall rating 2
Review by Rumpalumpa
very nice and rather unique under the latin style rums. the aroma seems roasted and nutty. the wood is pretty strong but well integrated. Like most latin rums it doesn't throw too much at you, but I enjoy this one a lot. Higer abv would be great
Review by Christoph
Delicious easy zipping rum with lots of milk chocolate and banana, plus winter spices.
Review by LukaŽiga
7,5:On the nose, initially quite sharper oak, tobacco, a little chocolate, coffee. Sultanas, pralines, almonds, dried fruits, more confectionary notes come to front after some time. A touch vegetal (green plantain), turnip then more oak & vanilla. It's a pleasant nose overall, not offensive at all, sweet but not sickly. 7,5:On the palate, there are prunes, nougat, oranges, a hint of cooked peach/apricots, molasses, a little banana peel, incense, dried fruits, lots of prominent spicy oak. 7,2:The finish is on the medium side, over steeped black tea, blackcurrant buds, juniper, a little marzipan & floral..
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
02.10.2016 - 03.10.2016 A great extended weekend with rum friends. This was a nice event and lots of space between the tables. Only problem was the level of English at some of the exhibitors. Here are the rums we tasted at the event itself, nothing truly unique but we had fun. This is the first half of the tastings. Notes Light roasted wood, vanilla, orange, light coffee, light dried fruit, faint caramel. Palate Light, light wood, light coffee, orange, light chocolate, light smoke, sweet, earthy. Finish Short to medium, light wood, light tobacco, light coffee, faint chocolate, nutts.
Review by Patrik Onderka
A freat surprise for me especially considering price/performance ratio. Very pleasant rum in general from Colombia the land of Dictador. I like this more than banana experiment which was extremely sweet to me. A very sympathetic feelings it left.
Review by GRUNERT Fabrice
un bon senteur vanille, un très fort goût de vanille, non sucré et tendre.
Review by TheJackDrop
"It has replaced diplomatico for all those new to the world of rum! In summary, my tasting notes: On the nose: Vanilla, Strawberry, Dairy products On the palate: Vanilla, Bourbon, Fût " Little plus: the label is nice.
Review by Martin Augustin
Hints of cocoa, caramel, brown sugar and a little alcohol come to mind. The taste is then very chocolaty, complemented by some caramel, vanilla and leather. This remains the case in the short finish. It is an honest rum from Colombia that is suitable as an easy sipper without great expectations.
Review by PeixeGato
Medium-bodied with a nutty flavor. Some charred barrel notes. Reminds me of bourbon.
Review by heckto🥃
A good rum. Caramel and chocolate on the nose. Less sweet on the palate than expected: smoky chocolate, woody and vanilla. I am positively surprised. Somewhat short finish. Still a clear recommendation to buy.
Review by HenryL
Great sipper for a relaxed evening! Very beginner-friendly, nice and fruity and sweet. The cooler Zacapa!
Review by Nicofr
Un rhum de "style espagnol" d'entrée de gamme. Pas très complexe et pas très bon. Les arômes de vanille et banane sont présents mais pas forcément bien intégré avec l'alcool. Un rhum qui change un peu des autres ron que l'on peut trouver sur le marché mais qui n'est vraiment pas mon truc.
Review by Anonymous
Hechicera is a molasses rum from Colombia's Caribbean coast. It is distilled in a continuous column at the Casa Santana distillery in Barranquilla. It was then aged by maestro ronero Giraldo Mituoka Kangana (of Japanese origin), using the solera system. This involves a complex blend of rums aged from 12 to 21 years. The older rums "educate" the younger ones throughout the maturation process. This rum, made exclusively from bourbon barrels, is bottled without any additives or colorants.
Review by Godspeed
Not bad at all, even a little better than it deserves to be.
Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
On the nose, it's quite mild. Vanilla, wood and cocoa up front with coffee and subtle orange peel towards the end. The palate hits you with spice firstly. Like a chilli has touched your tongue but without missing a beat it moves to dark chocolate and woody notes then begins to drift into the taste of good cappuccino, with extra sugar. On the finish those cappuccino notes linger. No complaints there. The spiciness at the start of the palate loses this rum points for me and, although nice beyond that, it doesn't wow me.
Review by Charlotte & Richard
C only. A bit sweet for R. Plummy, fruity, a bit toffee, but some how light and subtle
Review by rum_sk
Notes of charred oak barrel, vanilla, dark chocolate, cocoa. Little bit of spiciness at the back and overall, a robust full body. Biggest let down is the 👃 which is very flat in comparison with the taste and a little bit of alcoholic odour as well as taste, so the alcohol is not optimally incorporated.
Review by Kéké
Very sweet taste, quite light, caramel and we find the woody and slightly spicy side of the nose.

Review by Gregor
Too wrixb and characterless
Review by Henry Davies
An easy drinking Spanish style rum. No idea of the Provence or real age but it serves a purpose. Light and inoffensive nose with some alcoholic notes alongside cocoa and milk chocolate. The mouth is better, some milky caramel sweetness and light coffee and spice, ending with more leather and roasted coffee notes. A light and short finish. Solid but not memorable and certainly underpowered in the current age

Jestem zawiedziony, mnóstwo tanin, dąb gasi wszelkie ciekawe elementy tego rumu. Nie umiem tego lubić ale wielu może przypaść do gustu. Zapach: Dąb, słoność, chipsy bananowe, banany, wanilia, toffie, Smak: Wanilia, dużo beczki, żółte owoce tropikalne, gruszka, migdały, czekolada, więcej wanilii, papaja, nasiona papai, posmak metaliczny Finisz: Dąb, taniny, wanilia, chipsy bananowe
Review by Kieron Wood
Delicious this what to expect ffrom a medium to dry rum delicate balance that is awsome The distillery I'd very close the chest ablut if this rum is dosed but it's certainly a interesting one
Review by David Heraty
Nose: Quite woody, nice sweetness, some fruitiness comes through, hints of banana or plantain. Mouth: It matches the nose well and there's a lovely burst of the fruity sweetness coming through. Feels very well rounded. Finish: Mild burn that comes in short waves. Quite spicy on the tongue that hangs on for quite a while. But the fruitiness is still memorable. Great rum all round. Nothing intense or wildly complex about it, but it's a quality sipper for the price
Review by AlexM
Etwas zurückhaltend in der Nase, mit Holz und Trockenfrüchte Aromen. In Geschmack dann sehr mild und ebenso unaufdringlich wie in der Nase diesmal mehr Fass und Schokolade im Vordergrund. Abgang relativ kurz. In Summe ein sehr milder gefälliger Rum, der weniger in die extravagant fruchtige Richtung sondern eher in die milde, dezente, holzig, schokoladige Richtung geht. Und das ganz ohne Zucker und Farbstoffe für den Preis echt fair.
Review by Christophe Milot
Particulrepent vive et sèche, sans additifs ni sucrée ajoutés, élevée en fut de bourbon, cette expression complexe developpe des notes graduelles de caramel et d'écorces d'orange au nez, suivies d'une explosion de saveurs vives et distinctives de tabac et de café torréfié qui annoncent une finale lisse.

Review by Benjamin Lng
Bon rhum pour finir un repas , douces notes de café/vanille au nez. En bouche il a plutôt une bonne palette aromatique pas trop sucré ,très bon rhum pour les débutants (comme moi) manque peut être de complexité et de puissance alcoolique pour les plus habitués.
Review by primus
Interessanter Rum, die Nase verspricht eine vielfältige, fruchtige Palette; der Geschmack löst das Versprechen leider nicht ein und versinkt ins holzige. Alles in allem ein solider Rum zum Probieren, wäre aber keine Flasche die ich jemandem zeigen müsste.

Ostrý alkoholický koniec, priemer
Review by Motte
Spannender, als die meisten anderen Vertreter des spanischen Stils, die ich in dieser Preisklasse verkostet habe. Süß, gefällig, mit Noten von Kaffee, schwach gerösteten Nüssen, Milchschokolade und einem Hauch leichten Tabak. Leider etwas zu stark verwässert, um eine bessere Bewertung geben zu können.
