Usaly white rhum does not taste much but this one was smooth and nice
I picked this up a couple weeks back to try something new for my Mojitos. As far as super sweet rums go I don’t mind Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, so this option containing no added sugar piqued my curiosity as to how it would play in a Mojito (P.S. it does indeed make an excellent Mojito, though not quite as good as Selvarey or Havana Club 3). Having it sit around, I might as well do a review. Given that I got this rum for mojitos and wasn’t originally planning a review, I will keep this one short.
This rum is bottled at 47% so it’s a bit stronger than your run of the mill “White Latin rum”. That immediately becomes evident if you stick your nose in the Glencairn. The first whiff is straight nose searing ethanol. More so than you would think, and even more than some higher proof rums. But unlike Bacardi there are a few distinct notes that accompany that blast of ethanol. Past the “this is distilled alcohol” announcement I get a strong Lime note accompanied by Vanilla cake icing, followed interestingly enough by the distinct smell of Vanilla birthday cake itself. I looked around a bit more…but no that’s it.
On the palate I get an immediate mouthful of pungent fresh fruit medley which fades rather quickly and turns to sour apple jolly ranchers. Interesting, but once again nothing beyond that.
The finish is very light but distinct. It is but one expression and that is: If you’ve got a problem, yo he’ll solve it, check out the beat while the DJ revolves it. It’s the return of Vanilla Ic-ing.
This is not a complex rum. I guess it claims on the bottle to be a “White sipping rum”, but it’s neither interesting nor complex enough to meet that standard. It’s better than Bacardi Superior for sure, but I am not going to be reaching for it just to sip on anytime soon…or ever. Despite the higher bottling ABV this rum presents no real complexities or real notes of interest that it wouldn’t already possess at 40%.
All of that said, I used it for the purpose I got it for, Mojitos, and it does really quite well for that. It’s not going to beat Selvarey White as my preferred Mojito rum, nor will it beat the Cuban Havana Club 3 Year…but it is a long shot better than Bacardi or really any other white Spanish style rum for that purpose.
I won’t be buying another bottle of this, but it will serve perfectly well for Mojitos. I tried to use it for Between the Sheets but it absolutely refused to come out play there so alas it is fairly one dimensional.

Flat taste for this poor quality rum. Much less tasty than other white rums. Strong unpleasant nose. Overpriced on top of it.
If you have choice choose another white rum for your favourite cocktail!
Short review, because there is almost nothing to talk about.
Smell: Almost no aromas in the nose. Some hints of sweetness and maybe mint, citrus and metallic aromas. I notice some spirit also.
Taste: The taste is mild. Paper, metalic aromas, a little bit sweet, some peppery notes.
If you need almost neutral Alcohol for mixing go for it, it's mild.
I would find better rum for the same price.

Somehow combines subtle with rich and interesting, with inoffensive and unchallenging.
When it comes to mojitos, I figure no-one will complain, and many will be pleasantly surprised. I figure that's a definition of 'recommendable to most'.
I may not rush out and buy another bottle (there's too many clairins, agricoles and Jamaican funkies to try yet) but I know I will buy another, as contrast and to introduce others to, and I know i will not be disappointed

For sipping, it's nothing special, and the alcohol sting is apparent. But coconut notes dominate which is nice, and will hold its own on a cocktail.
Ytterligare en av de högre herrarna! Trevlig och rund doft med inslag av fat. Aningen vass men rund i tonen på smaken, något åt det brända hållet men sammanfattningen är riktigt trevlig!

I have made great mix drinks with than. Not a fan of on ice
Custard and White Chocolate mingle alongside some young sweet alcohol.
"It has a nice aged note to it – some peppery spice and a bit of chilli. Finish wise it isn’t huge but it does leave a decent hit of booze and some nice spicy oak notes. Peppery and slightly heated – notes of red chilli."
