This one is fairly interesting. That is for a Puerto Rican White rum. I found it difficult for a rum of this supposed age to get passed a straight astringent nose, a very strong alcohol nose compared to don Q Cristal which is aged just one year and has a very subdued nose. The entry is quite rum like though and much more vigor than I would have thought for an aged white rum of up to 5 years even in a solera. There is a bit of burn a nice very rum like spice in the middle almost Barbados in style. There is a quick finish on this rum that leaves little to be remembered. This has to be mostly younger 1 year rum blended with some small amounts aged rums. Overall not terrible, this in my estimation is fairly pure with little to no additives, quite dry, and no fake vanilla.

I expected a little more on the entry and finish but the middle of this rum is quite pleasing for straight up consumption. for 23 dollars or whatever I paid near that it is not horrid and I would say one of the best Puerto Rican whites out there, but that is not saying much. It does have an interesting bottle though.

Overall in this category there are much better white rums with much better flavor and finish. While there is no incredibly bad flaw here there also is nothing that makes this one shine unless you are looking for a rum that shows astringent qualities.

Smooth and easy drinking without that "weird" Bacardi taste. Makes sense since it's from Don Q.

Had been wanting to try it for a while. Found it at a small town liquor store of all places. It's a great mixer. Would definitely buy again.

Tasted at Laka Lono on February 20, 2022.
My impression of this rum must have faded as the sipping went on; I originally marked it as a 4/5 and then changed the rating to a 3/5 with a note to myself that the 3 was the accurate rating. Notes say "dusty in a good way."

Tasted at Laka Lono on 2/22/19. Served to me in a daiquiri. That pretty much says it all. My neat sample was quite unremarkable from this clear rum. Boring and hot, without the alcohol heat. This was Skipper Michael's last Laka Pour for me before he left.

It passes my litmus test: it goes well in a mojito.

I used it to make mixed drinks Cuba libres etc. and for the price it works
Most people that see the bottle find it cool

Mixes well with tropical punch or anything pineapple and coconut tiki drinks!

Definite burn going down. Not a bad mixer. I added some coffee beans and a vanilla bean to what was left in the bottle, let it sit for a few days, and had a nice coffee rum. Still burned going down, but the flavor was nice.

Vanilla, citrus and spice come to mind when drinking this rum. I do enjoy this neat as one of the only rums from Puerto Rico that I can say this about. I like the bottle presentation! Nice price for a light rum with nice flavor that can be sipped.

Let's face it, light rums are not really designed for sipping. Caliche is a perfectly acceptable rum for making classic cocktails and exotic potions.
