I must say, I never had a rum from Paraguay. It was a blind sample and I thought it's a rum from DomRep. It has some similarities with Zaya 12, but it's more rough and punchy.

Nose: It's a nose that reminds me of DomRep rums (Soleras). There are dry fruits, chocolate, molasses, burned sugar, also some wood influence (Bourbon cask with vanilla). I can smell the oak from the cask.
It's a quite sharp nose.

Taste: Starts sweet with dry fruits and chocolate aroma. It increases in sharpness and dark chocolate releases (some bitter notes are there), also burned sugar, dark cask aromas with molasses. It's a natural chocolate aroma, not that artificial like in the Compagnero. Somewhat like in Zaya 12.
The finish is spicy with chocolate, dry fruits, the mouth dries out, I get the wood now.

Aftertaste: some wood, chocolate, burned sugar

It's not a bad rum, but it reminds me of some solera rums like Zaya 12. I must say I would prefer the Zaya 12, because it's not that spicy or punchy. But if you like chocolate flavors you can't go wrong with this one.

In the bottle from Total Wine Goodyear AZ. Brown in color. Cinnamon and apples aroma. Brown sugar and vanilla flavors. Medium thick palate but not too syrupy. Perfect amount of heat at the finish. Also some great earthiness as well. Yum! Great woodiness throughout. A few drops of water and the caramel explodes!

Very long spicy finish with a nice sweet middle. Smells like brown sugar. Woody taste dominates. After a while caramel and butterscotch flavors jump out

Tasted courtesy March 10 2024 from the Forbidden Hole stash
Appearance: Amber
Aroma: bourbon, fungi, cherries
Flavor: whoa. Cedar plank and cherries
Tasting notes: this rum tastes like a cherry upside cake; working backwards I think I'm tasting caramelized brown sugar, cherries, vanilla and yellow cake.
This is the second rum today that I would hesitate to waste on mixing with anything because it is just so good as it is.

The Marianne de Paraguay Cask Strength is a molasses blend from Paraguay that was allowed to store in french oak barrels. The age is not specified and I have not found any information about it. I would estimate the rum to be 6-8 years old. Only organically grown raw materials were used and no colourors or additives were processed. The number of bottles is limited. The barrel strength is 54%.

First...the rum is too sharp in the nose. Molasses and, for me, spicy notes resonate. Also, the rum has a lot of acidity. The rum definitely needs time to breathe. 10-30min. Then there is also sweetness and the sharpness decreases. In the glass shows spicy notes. Reminiscent of bread spices. Molasses and some sweetness are recognizable. Also light notes of berry. Unfortunately, the unbalanced sharpness breaks everything. The rum is just sharp. I've tried a lot but the alcohol just doesn't want to play along. The rum is very angular. It won't come together for me. Something in that rum just is not for me. And at the end of all, I have to say that the label design has really failed. Something to be ashamed of.

On paper, this rum must be good, but quite frankly, it doesn't taste good to me. I've really tried everything but it is has one of the last places in my Cabinet.

The Marianne de Paraguay Cask Strength ist ein Melasse Blend aus Paraguay, welcher in französischen Eichenholz Fässern lagern durfte. Das Alter ist nicht angegeben und ich habe auch keine Informationen dazu gefunden. Ich würde den Rum auf 4-8 Jahre schätzen. Es wurden nur biologisch angebaute Rohstoffe genutzt und weder Farb- noch Zusatzstoffe verarbeitet. Die Flaschen Anzahl ist limitiert. Die Fass Stärke beträgt 54%.

Der Rum ist in der Nase erst einmal scharf mit starker Alkohol Note. Melasse und für mich nicht klar definierbare würzige Noten schwingen mit. Auch hat der Rum viel Säure. Der Rum braucht auf jeden Fall Zeit zu atmen. 10-30min. Dann ist auch Süße mit dabei und die Schärfe geht zurück. Im Glas zeigt würzige Noten. Erinnert an Brot Gewürze. Melasse und etwas Süße sind erkennbar. Auch leichte Noten von Weinbeeren. Leider macht die nicht ausbalancierte Schärfe alles kaputt. Der Rum ist einfach scharf. Ich habe vieles probiert aber der Alkohol will einfach nicht mitspielen. Der Rum ist sehr eckig und es fehlt wahrscheinlich etwas an Lagerungszeit. Ich denke der Rum ist noch etwas zu jung. Der Einfluss ist eigentlich klar zu schmecken und in Trinkstärke ist es bestimmt etwas erträglicher. Und zum Ende muss ich sagen, dass das Label Design echt missglückt ist. Ist ziemlich zum Fremdschämen.

Auf dem Papier muss dieser Rum gut sein aber ganz ehrlich gesagt, schmeckt er mir nicht. Ich hab echt alles probiert aber er ist in meinem Cabinet auch auf Grund des Preises ganz weit unten.
