    How does this rum taste?

    Arcane Extraroma Grand Amber, crafted at Mauritius' Grays distillery, offers a tropical journey with aromas of banana, vanilla, and coconut enhanced by sugarcane freshness. Distilled from pure sugar cane juice and aged for under 12 years, this 40% rum provides a sensory mix where fruity, creme brulee, and floral notes make a dynamic impression. Our community of RumX members has shared mixed feedback—while some appreciate its vibrant, sweet character and the nod to genuine agricole traditions, others find it overly sweet with hints of artificiality. Whether enjoyed neat or in mixers, it opens up an inviting route for both newcomers and adventurous connoisseurs.

    "Much too sweet for me and nothing I can recommend. Aromas of caramel, vanilla and spices is recognizable. At the palate it’s very sweet with flavors of fruits, banana, ginger, caramel and vanilla together with a certain roundness."

    "Hatte jetzt mehr erwartet. In der Nase eine Note aus Banane, Kokosnuss und tropischen Früchten, im Gaumen dann ebenfalls. Ein sehr fruchtiger Rum, mir allerdings zu fruchtig. Finde auch den Abgang zu lang mit einem bitteren Nachgeschmack."

    "Ich frage mich ob hier künstliche Aromen im Spiel sind, denn mein Geschmack sagt mir, dass es es sich um spiced rum handelt. Aber bei weitem nicht der schlimmste den ich probiert habe. Üblich vanillig und dazu Bananen und Kokos"

    "Ultra-dosed “rum” that is only recommendable as a dessert liqueur or poured over ice cream (delicious btw). During aging about HALF of the content of the barrel for this rum is literally sugar syrup. I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about the outcome for its flavor and how sweet it is. The bottle, however, is a triumph. Looks phenomenal."
