Paranubes Oaxaca Añejo Rum Limited Edition
Made for drinkers who want something that doesn't taste like a standard rum at all. This Mexican cane-juice spirit lands somewhere between mezcal, young agricole and fermented fruit — pear, honey, anise, plus a real salty, bacon-and-olive savory streak. The 18 months in oak softened its funk without killing it. Several tasters flag the alcohol as a little unintegrated, but most found it fascinating and very drinkable.
The community says- Genuinely unusual
- Savory and salty
- But: Alcohol not integrated

How does Paranubes Oaxaca Añejo Rum Limited Edition taste?
Aggregated from 57 community reviews.
Salty, mezcal-like cane spirit, very unusual Loved by people chasing the unusual — herbal, salty, mezcal-like and fruity. A couple found it too young, floral or soapy, and one person hit an odd bitter note.

Pub The Rumah Rotterdam April 2026. You can pretty much tell right away that this rum was distilled from cane juice. Thanks to Banana Joe, I’ve already been able to taste a few rums from this distillery. And they really are good rums. You can definitely notice the barrel aging well in this one.

My first rum from Mexico. Nose: you can clearly tell that it is still quite young. It has a lot of the unripe, young wild ones, like Clairin or El Ampero. Fermented fruit with lots of green. In this case honeydew melon, banana and green papaya. There is also some tart bergamot and vinegar-infused artichoke. A honey sweetness rounds off at the back. Not bad at all. 8.1 Palate: very fresh and fruity-spicy. You can really taste the tequila barrel. Gives the rum an interesting kick. A little salty and slightly peppery, with a distinct lemon zest and something that goes in the direction of soap. Yes, it's soap... not bad, but clear. It has a lot to offer for such a young rum. Too floral and impetuous for me, but good to have tried it. 7,7
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
die 18 Monate im Fass haben dem Paranubes etwas an Funk genommen aber zum Glück nicht zu viel. weniger pflanzlich, weniger Mezcal dafür mehr Birne, Honig, Anis, Kamille und Papaya an der Nase und sehr rund und angenehm. im Geschmack dann gebackene Honig Banane mit knusprigem Speck und etwas Pekannuss, dazu junges Holz und in Ahornsirup gebackene Birnen mit gesalzenener Erdnussbutter auf Brioche Toast. sehr sehr lecker, brutal süffig und mega spannend!!🤤💥🥂😍 davon hätte ich echt gerne ne Flasche!!! Hat was von einem extrem guten Anejo overproof Tequila. Grandioser Stoff.
Review by Galli33
Finally! First rum after 3 weeks🤪 And this one is a strange one, but good! Fruity, floral, fresh, chocolate, mezcal and a lot of salt and bacon 🫨🫨 The alcohol isn’t integrated well, but at the end you’ll get what your ordered (no 40%) 🤓
Review by MarcT
Sooo... This was something different. Still a rum? I had to check. First sip strongly Reminded me of a dry spirit of yellow gentian, my wife once brought home as something special. Very herbal. This is definitely not a standard Agricole, and one can find parallels. Enjoyable because it is different, but not for the occasional sip.
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
#5204 05.04.2025 Running through some samples at home. Nose Light wood, spice, light caramel, light earthy, faint tannins, fruits, dried fruit, light herbal. Palate Balanced, round, light wood, light tannins, light olive, fruits, faint salt, light caramel, light mineral, light earthy. Finish Medium long, light wood, dried fruit, spice, light tea, faint mint. Empty glass Light mint, faint smoke, figs, faint coconut, vanilla.
Review by Serge
Really cool rum ... not the usual flavor spectrum but very tasty and fully my taste. A bit of mezcal, lots of fermented fruit and just the right amount of wood. Stands with me from the feeling on the shelf between stored Mhobas and stored Clairins. Not everyone's cup of tea but I wish for more.
Review by Richard Krupa
Podobne jak druhy paranubes, ale s takovou divnou horkou pachuti
Review by w00tAN
In der Nase leicht faulig und vergoren. Fruchtig Aprikose? Auf der Zunge dann angenehm, leichte Süße und viel Frucht. Etwas Florales kräuteriges kommt dann auch zum Vorschein. Alkohol gut eingebunden. Sehr interessanter Stoff und gutes PLV!
Review by Mike H.
Drinks like a young agricole. Rather light notes, none stand out too strongly though. I could see myself enjoying a glass from time to time but wouldn’t purchase bottle.
Review by Joël
Leider haben sie nur ungealterte und ganz junge Rums. Aber erstaunlich wie gut diese sind, Potenzial ist definitiv vorhanden. Sie sagten dass sie etwas haben was seit 3 Jahren liegt und noch länger liegen soll. Keine Ahnung wann es abgefüllt wird und ob es dann nach Europa kommt. Ich habe das Büro/Lager/Bar der Destillerie direkt in Oaxaca, Mexiko besucht. Die Destillerie selber ist in den Bergen, leider wollen sie da keine Besucher. Ich habe eine Flasche Anejo RX15229 gekauft für umgerechnet ca. 33.- CHF.

Review by Godspeed
Not a favorite sipper, but really good in a daiquiri.
Review by Filip Heimerle
Good but the original paranubes has disappeared a bit. A bit biting towards the end
Review by Johannes
Awesome aromas! Lots of spices, slightly spicy, really exceptional!
Review by Jakob
Findet sicher seine Freunde, hat aber für meinen persönlichen Geschmack viel zu wenig gemein mit dem gängigen Aromenspektrum eines Rums; das Destillat mäandert stattdessen irgendwo zwischen Mezcal, Obstler und Rohbrand. Interessante Erweiterung des Spektrums, allerdings ohne Chance auf baldige Wiederkehr in mein Tastingglas.
Review by Mateusz
Very complex, fabulous nose and taste. Taste nicely develops from sweet, bitter salty and acid. Commendable rum!
Review by Madi Dromamad
Un rhum plutôt jeune veillie en fut neuf. Très boisé et vanillé.
