Rum Nation Guatemala Gran Reserva

This was a pleasant surprise. Smooth, sweet and a very nice ending. If Guatemala taste like this, then i want a big piece of the country.

Nose: 4/5
Taste: 4/5

Fruit nose, sweet honey taste

High quality molasse rum, fermented and distilled in traditionnal column. Once distilled, the rum is transported to the North-West of Guatemala, then transferred into old bourbon casks at 180m altitude above the sea. This rum is aged for 4 years above the Hondo river, where humidity allows to slow down the ageing process, in an almost tropical climate region. One of the lightest rums in our selection, with a pleasantly sweet touch in the Latin style but without ever becoming too sugary. Suggested Match: Valrhona Tanariva 33%, a delicate milk chocolate from Madagascar with a buttery mouthfeel suited to the soft character of this rum.

Ten med bol na konci dosť cítiť. Skôr pre ženské chute

Geur van pecan, kruiden en suikerriet. Mooie zachte smaak van pecan noren, caramel, kruiden en vanille. Ook gebrand eiken hout proef je terug. Heerlijke rum met een mooie afdronk.

Extra sweet sugar , oak , oranges and dry wood

Very smooth. Good rum... Little sweet which I like.

Leuchtendes Bernstein im Glas.
In der Nase, welch Eleganz und Balance. Kandierte Früchte, tropische Blüten, Karamell, Holz.
Am Gaumen sehr sanft, frisch und etwas weichgespült. Früchte und Beeren, Birne, Quitte, Ananas, Trauben und eine Himbeere. Karamell im Holz Topf gekocht und mit Vanille verfeinert.
Im Abgang halten sich die Aromen immer noch schön in Balance. Karamellfrüchtchen kleben ein wenig länger auf der Zunge.
Eigentlich ein toller Rum, perfekt ausbalanciert und harmonisch. Leider nicht satt genug, wirkt etwas verwaschen und oberflächlich. Für Einsteiger und Sommerpartys.

Bright amber in the glass.
On the nose, what elegance and balance. Candied fruit, tropical flowers, caramel, wood.
On the palate, very soft, fresh and a bit mellow. Fruits and berries, pear, quince, pineapple, grapes and a raspberry. Caramel cooked in the wood pot and enhanced with vanilla.
The flavors still balance nicely on the finish. Caramel fruit sticks to the tongue a little longer.
Actually a great rum, perfectly balanced and harmonious. Unfortunately not rich enough, seems a bit washed out and superficial. For beginners and summer parties.

Une bonne surprise, très agréable au goût assez fruité. Un nez léger

I dind't expect so much, but very nice surprise. Smell sweet, but no so significant. Taste little sweet, but no so much. Short and strong finish. I would compare almost like Zacapa Centenario 23YO Solera Grand Reserva.
