Galician Original Drinks Burla Negra Ron
The salty note is the whole point here — one taster called it a "very interesting connection sweet and salt taste," and that's exactly it. This Spanish rum is made with sea water, so you get salted caramel, toffee and a little cocoa, sweet but with a savory edge that keeps it from being cloying. Smooth and easy, a bit rough sipped neat.
The community says- Salted caramel note
- Something different
- But: Tastes sweetened

Sweet, salty Spanish sipper made with sea water A genuinely different Spanish rum: sweet toffee with a real salty kick that people find fun. Tastes sweetened, a touch rough neat — better relaxed in cola.

That was actuallly a decent rum for mixing. I got it for 8,95€ at sale on a spanish web and wasn't hoping anything special, but I gotta say that it's definitely an insteresting product. It might be not considered a rum "per se" for the purists, cause it has sea water and I suspect that there's sugar added too, but the result is quite decent. It's a spanish style rum, smooth and sweet but with a very pleasing salty taste that makes everything pop. The main flavours are salty caramel, toffee and some woody notes. Had it as a sipper and was a bit too rough, also had some with coke and the combination was good. For 30€ I would say that theres way better rum out there for sure, but if you find it cheap and wanna try something different, give this one a try.

Very interesting connection sweet and salt taste
Review by Alvaro Mateos
Buen ron con un dulzor en su justa medida sin resultar empalagoso y con unas notas saladas al final del trago. Repetiría.
Review by Imagol Ronmantico
Se nota el toque salado de su destilación particular. Una agradable sorpresa. Tomado solo deja un agradable sabor en boca que perdura un tiempo medio.
