Oronoco Fazenda Reserva

I had this rum many years ago. Nice and light, slightly sweet, and smooth finish. I haven't seen it for several years but I hope I can find a bottle.

I don;t know what constitutes a flavored Rhum. This cane rhum, made in Brazil, has a distinct vanilla, matched by a clean, cane sweetness. It is very smooth, making me wonder what else is in there? So, for the purists, well, you may be taken aback by the vanilla top and bottom. I really enjoyed it. One of the most important qualities of any spirit is its drinkability. Second, is its adherence to tradition to its genre. Oronoco is as smooth as it gets, and has a cool, sweet pure cane gladness, with, as I've said, this real vanilla presence. Anyone who has purchased Mexican or south American vanilla, knows of its intense, clean and non-alcoholic properties, far different than vanilla bought for baking on the US. It seems this brand is no more. I can't find it anywhere.

Great alone, smooth, clean, and tasteful

picked up some of this out of town it was very good rum very light tasting good with splash of diet coke I cant find it any more local

This bottle definitely stands out among all the typical liquor bottles so it grabbed my attention. Only one store in the whole city carries it and when I was paying for it, the clerk who happened to be the owner of the store raved over it saying it was his favorite rum. That definitely got my attention. According to the label, my bottle was produced (I assumed that means bottled) October 19, 2006 (Lot # 0004c). I noted the vanilla immediately and it was good. Definitely other subtle flavors which I cannot identify but nothing objectionable. It worked well for me in Coke Zero but really worked well in Dr. Pepper believe it or not. Give that combo a try. Have not tried it in fruit-based mixers. I can see some people drinking this straight and on the rocks but I like it better mixed.

Some acricole characteristics due to the cane juice component, and some molasses character. IMO not really worth the usual ~$35-40 price, but I have picked up a couple bottles on sale for $25 at which price it is a decent buy.

80 proof. Sip test, no ice
This is a sippable white, doesn't make me wince. Vanilla with light coconut afternotes. Slight empty glass nose.

A drinkable white rum, but nothing of particularly strong character. From a county that specializes in cachaca, this is a nice alternative. Too pricey to mix, but really not a sipper either. Perhaps a top-shelf daiquiri.

Very nice white rum! I like it on the rocks with a splash of coke better that any other white with coke. A real treat for those of us who enjoy the dark rums only this one goes fantastico with coke as do most white rums.. Cool bottle too!

Like the bottle, I think this has a woodsy flavor. A little harsh neat but good as a mixer. Although, it is too expensive to be a good value...especially mixing.
