Edit: so in CubaLibre it already works O.k. the reviews of the rum are already very scathing. After the two Romdeluxe T.D.L from 2002, a cigar with a Hearts 1999 was a basis to dare to try this rum. I agree with the reviews here. There's not much there. However, in CubaLibre it is a weapon thanks to its high ABV. Actually, you only taste lime and cola there, which is very dangerous and makes for a quick buzz. Thanks to DomM who really talked me into buying the bottle for 15€. It's definitely better for the price than HC3 or other supermarket mixers.

Reminiscent of a fruit spirit - alcohol meets a smattering of stone fruit, gentle citrus notes and hints of vanilla and caramel. After that comes - nothing. An extremely uncharitable selection that does not do justice to the Rum Artesanal brand at all.

Long story short: vanilla, some cocoa and burnt notes potentially from the finish… Overall harsh and not enjoyable, really. On the second tasting: more sweetnesss than I remembered +0.1 points - „drinkable“ but definitely not more to add 😁

The weakest bottling of Rum Artesanal to date. The rum is too wild and biting. Except vanilla, some wood and alcoholic spiciness, unfortunately, not much comes across.

Ohje was ist hier denn passiert? Selbst nach über einer Stunde Atemzeit ist der noch alkoholisch stechend und scharf?! Geschmacklich auch total eindimensional nach etwas Vanille, Tabak, Holz und verbranntem bitter-säuerlichem Karamell, sowie etwas Milchschokolade... Hat für mich eher was von overproof Havana 7 der kurz das Venezuela Fass schief angeschaut hat... Sehr schade!

Die Kritiken bisher sind ja eher schlecht. Mal ein eigenes Bild machen! Nase: der Alkohol ist sehr präsent zu Beginn und beißt auch ordentlich. Dadurch wirkt er metallisch frisch. Dahinter ist aber doch etwas mehr. Getrocknete Aprikose und grüner Apfel, dazu Vanille. Es kommen zunehmend eine Schokoladen-Note und eine Karamell-Süße durch. Hinten raus wirkt er leicht holzig. Gaumen: auch hier wirkt er zunächst alkoholisch, metallisch und bitter. Es kommen herbe Gewürze Richtung Muskat und Nelke mit einem Hauch Vanille. Vielleicht noch etwas Grapefruitschale, sonst ist da nur noch frisches Holz. Insgesamt ist der Alkohol zu schlecht eingebunden. Ihm fehlt tatsächlich tiefe und Finesse, die kann man bei Cuba aber m.E. selten finden.

Dass so etwas, von einem bis Dato namhaften IPB erscheint, macht mich persönlich sehr fassungslos und traurig.........schaut man sich vor allem die Bottlings der letzten 2 Jahre an. Es ist für mich absolut unverständlich, dass jemand entschieden hat, dass das jetzt in die Flasche muss. Für mich hat der Rum schlicht keinen Mehrwert! Weder zum pur trinken, noch zum vermixen. Ich kann ja nicht mal viel dazu sagen, weil da schlichtweg nichts ist, das man beschreiben könnte. Er hat einen ordentlichen Alkoholeinschlag und etwas Vanille.....PUNKT
