it's a lots of fun, and the rums are generally pretty good. €20 for a 5 year agricole seems really cheap ime.

8. Rum Nation Guatemala Gran Reserva, 40%.
Rum from Guatemala, a country which is also home of the well known Zacapa rum.
I have a bottle of Rum Nation rum from Jamaica (50%) which is pretty good. Rum Nation was acquired by some Danes in 2018, which is probably why there are 36 bottles of Rum Nation rum available from my go-to rum-buying website. This rum has aged 4 years.
It has an amberlike color, it's quite light. The aroma is on the lighter side as well, but with some complexity. Fruity and sweet, caramel, vanilla, pretty typical for much Spanish style rum. It's quite nice.
It tastes good. It has a lot of depth, sweet, fruit, caramel, honey, spice, maybe a little dark chocolate and a bit of oak. It's rather complex, which I like.
The finish is decent, tastes of more of the same.
Another well made rum that is simply enjoyable to drink. I do hope they shake it up a little soon, though, almost all of the rums have been rather similar so far.
7.5/10.
