Rene Rum (PREMIUM) 🇨🇭 | 547 ratings

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.

Coloma uses coffee liquer casks and it's awesome. Vanilla, oak, coffee and caramel with coffee notes. Bit young and harsh.

Smooth enough but there are no layers of flavors and the flavor that is there is just OK. Very short finish with coffe tail.

Good taste, but nothing special. Expected "Columbian whiskey". Hard alcohol when you take the first sip.

This is an ok easy to drink rum, not too complex. Better than a basic Bacardi, Castillo Puerto Rican rums but a bit below my rum pay grade. Nothing nothing great would drink if nothing better was available mild sweetness light burn lingering brown sugar molasses undertones.

The nose has vanilla and butterscotch, but the taste is a bit hot and lacking depth. Vanilla also shows up on the finish.

Inget speciellt men slinker ner. Ganska intetsägande rom

Rhum qui se boit facilement, mais qui peut vite être ennuyeux.

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.
