RA Ron de República Dominicana 2018
Opinions land all over the place here: a couple of tasters found it pleasantly sweet and berry-fruity, while others shrugged that it's a sweetened Dominican with little going on. Expect caramel, red fruit and a nutty coffee edge over light wood. The odd part is how alcoholic it reads for just 40% — several noted the burn takes time to settle.

Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
10.09.2021 Sitting at home with some samples. Notes Light to medium dark in colour. Nose Light, wood, fruity, dried fruit, light caramel. Palate Light, wood, faint roasted, light caramel, cherry, sweet, faint nutts. Finish Medium long, sweet, wood, faint coffee, faint nutts, light caramel. Extra note. Needs to rest for a good while because ABV integration isn't that good.
Review by Montana
Ein sehr süßes Aroma, fruchtig nach Beeren, Wein, sehr angenehm. Der Körper ist leicht, eine angenehme Süße im Geschmack. Der Nachklang ist mittellang und leicht alkoholisch.
Review by Karlheinz Markhof
kaum Süße, etwas Schärfe, etwas Gräser und Kräuter
Review by Christoph
Leichte Holznoten. Nicht zu süß. Für Rumcocktails ohne Funk gut geeignet.
Review by HenryL
Direkt aus der Flasche sehr alkoholisch in der Nase, der verfliegt aber größtenteils schnell. Dann kommen Karamell, rote Früchte und ein Hauch Wein. Im Mund wie fast jeder gezuckerte Rum: süß mit entsprechend samtigem Mundgefühl, dabei im Vergleich zu manch anderem „Nerdrum“ recht alkoholisch für die 40%. Daneben noch etwas Frucht und leicht nussiger Kaffee. Nicht schlecht, ich wüsste aber auch nicht wieso ich ihn mir kaufen sollte.
Review by Schnapsschuesse
Rote Früchte, Karamell, rotweinige Alkoholnote, Vanille und ein Hauch Kaffee in der Nase. Wenig Komplexität. Einige vielversprechende Noten am Gaumen, aber auch auffälliger Alkohol für 40%. Hier wurde einiges mit Süßung geglättet.
