Coloma 8-Year

Rhum doux, arôme de orange, café (à peine) et de vanille. Veilli en fut de chêne 8 ans par 2 femmes maître du rhum. Un peu cher, je le recommande tout de même.

Bereits in der Nase würzig mit etwas süsser Rauchnote, leicht fruchtig nach Rosinen und etwas Holz.
Im Mund dann leicht süss mit etwas Schokolade und Kaffee, wenig Fruchtig.
Die Einflüsse vom Fass sind hier gut merklich und fein eingebunden.
Gefällt mir sehr gut.

A very interesting rum from Colombia.
Raisins, dark chocolate, roasted bananas and plenty of firm oak notes.

J'ai eu ce rhum en cadeau qu'un caviste à conseillé. Ce rhum n'est pas issu d'assemblage. La bouteille est très belle, la couleur du rhum invite à la dégustation. Je ne le trouve pas doux, une belle longueur en bouche. Je pense que c'est un rhum très intéressant à faire découvrir aux personnes venant d'un whisky par exemple.

Rhum sud-américain qui se rapproche de certains rhums de tradtion anglaise, au nez il vous envoie en Jamaique ou aux Barbades, en bouche c 'est équilibré entre végétal et gourmandise, final plutôt long....très bonne surprise!

Výborny. potrebné nechať vydýchať a je ešte lepší. skúste neoľutujete. Chuť burbonu, kavy, čokolady, vanilky....

Nice alternative to dictador rum family. Very pleasant smell of wood, tobacco and coffee. In taste flavours of vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee and oak. Nice rum when you want to try something not that sweet.

quite drinkable, nothing to surprise you, nothing special, but ok

ochutnáno v sérii celkově průměrných rumů kde mohl vyniknout...
slabší méně výrazná vůně ale jemnější chut... s lehce kořeněnými tony

pokud si dát tak neurazí
7/10

I was very interested to try this rum after reading that it's finished in barrels used for coffee liqueur. So, I was expecting to be overpowered with a coffee nose and taste but it's a very subdued taste. What comes through is the Oak taste which is a good thing in my book. It's a little on the sweet side so I'm guessing that sugar has been added but I can't know for sure. All in all I'm intrigued and want to try more.

Nice aroma, smoky with a caramel notes. Nothing special on taste, but acceptable.

Nose: conifers, burnt barrel, maybe even some thyme and rosemary. Very interesting, pleasant and unusual
Palate: not as exciting as in the nose, but still ok. Some hints of coffee liquor.

Good taste, vanilla - light body. There is some potential to be discovered.

Helles Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase wie ein mit Toffee, Karamell, Kakao, Kaffee, Tabak und kandierten Früchten gefüllter Lederbeutel.
Im Gaumen süss, warm und mundfüllend. Rote Beeren in Karamell getunkt, Schokocreme mit Kaffeepulver bestäubt, dezente Holztöne spielen eine coolen Groov im Hintergrund.
Im Abgang, Toffee, Kakao und Karamell klingen lange nach.
Ein toller Rum mit ausgewogener Süsse passend zu einer Zigarre. Für Einsteiger und Geniesser.

Light amber in the glass.
In the nose like a leather bag filled with toffee, caramel, cocoa, coffee, tobacco and candied fruit.
Sweet, warm and full-bodied on the palate. Red berries dipped in caramel, chocolate cream sprinkled with coffee powder, discreet wood tones play a cool groove in the background.
In the finish, toffee, cocoa and caramel resonate for a long time.
A great rum with balanced sweetness that goes well with a cigar. For beginners and connoisseurs.

Intrigued about the Coloma 15 yr rum I decided to try the younger and less expensive version first and wasn’t disappointed. Flavours of vanilla, raisins, oak and spice blend very well for this dry finish rum. Very pleased with this purchase and can’t wait to get my hands on the older version.

Sød duft med et hint af mokka. Dufter faktisk rigtig godt. Smag mokka og tør tobak, som desværre ikke er helt på højde med duften, men rommen er ikke dårlig. (12. December 2019 i 1423)

Bottle of Coloma 8y to enjoy the New Years Eve. Way too much oak, woodiness, vanilla and raisins to be enjoyable. Bottle and label design is spectacular. Coloma 8y is simply way too close to Whisky than a flavorful rum from Colombia. Extremely short finish. However Whisky fan boys can add 2 points to my score.

Robe moyennement pâle. Rhum parfumé et assez léger. Assez sucré en bouche. En donne trop peu pour le prix.

My knowledge of Coloma before tasting this one was lacking to say the least, but after tasting it, then I must admit, that there is some potential in this rum from Colombia moving forward.

Nose: Coffee, chocolate and vanilla with a slight woody feel
Taste: Vanilla, coffee and almonds
Overall: This is not mindblowing, but it is a good solid rum at a fair price. If you want to try something new, that isn´t too complex, then you can do a lot worse then picking up a bottle of this rum.

It seems to have some sugar added, which is slightly balanced by the bitters from coffee and dark chocolate. IMO there should be less sugar added to achieve a better balance in flavors. In nose, it is very interesting the oaky smell.

Interessant smag og duft. Kan ikke sætte en finger på hvad den dufter af.

Rhum sans grande particularité. Manque de complexité.

I bought when skiing, so never a good time to buy, but I note that it is about €35 in normal places. Bought because the other Columbian rum (La Hechicera) is something I was a great fan of

The "fault". I have a feeling that this has had sugar added and a bit too much. Having said that, I don't mind rums with sugar having been added, although I do like Richard Seale's quest to label any additions (as well as liking his non-sugar added rums).

Can't quite decide whether it should be a 7 or an 8. On balance (until edited!) an 8, even if I feel there has been the addition of sugar. The American oak flavours on the nose and palate are enticing. Hints of vanilla and mocha and the merest hint of chocolate and tropical fruits. A nice burn from the spirit, which leads to a medium length which is dominated by the vanilla and oak.

Would I buy again - absolutely, hence why 8 rather than 7.

EDIT - the bottle has now opened up - a lot. The sweetness is now a little too overpowering and it reminds me a bit of the confected flavours that an Angostura 1919 has both on the nose and palate. TBH I don't mind that sweetness - its easy to drink and serves a purpose when the mood takes it. But it is expensive....far more than the 1919, hence a 6 rather than a 7.

Na základe recenzií som sa tešil na túto známu Kolumbijskú značku. Moje očakávania sa však nenaplnili, vôňa nebola plná. Chuť to mierne vylepšila,no nebola z môjho pohľadu vyvážená. Skôr pikantná,nevyzerá.
