About this bottle

While Colombian rum might not be widely recognized by casual drinkers, brands such as Dicatador are highly esteemed within the rum community. Parce, a new U.S.-based private-label brand originating from Colombia (where "parce" is Colombian slang for "good friend"), offers expressions of eight and twelve years old. The Parce 12 is a blend of rums that have aged a minimum of twelve years in ex-bourbon casks.

Eldon Whitten 4.0

4.25. It's accurately described as "supple." It has more almond, marshmallow, rich cacao, and a bit more oxidation than the 8, with added nuance and a smoother nose. Its depth unfolds more expressively and evenly across the midpalate, leading to a lingering finish. It's less overtly sweet but still rich enough for a long aftertaste of gently burnt sugars/maraschino.

Tia Fitzgerald 4.5

Smells like chocolate, vanilla, and cinnamon. Tastes like this rum has some similarities to a favorite of mine, the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, but with a smoother finish. Very tasty and easy to drink. While sipping is probably the best way to enjoy this amazing spirit, I also mixed it with coke and the results were great. If you find it on sale, don't hesitate and grab a bottle.

Anissa Robins 4.0

A smooth and easy drink with a medium body and finish (not very long). Smells like sugar cake, vanilla (from the bourbon cask), fruity, somewhat sweet, melon, a bit of dark chocolate at the end, a hint of oak, and some lingering tobacco. Not bad for the price; I purchased it at Miami airport duty-free for about $40.

Reese Lusk 5.0

A very smooth rum that carries all the described notes. It's one of, if not the best rum I've ever had. A perfect score.

Kyrie Navarrete

It's actually rum from Panama, blended and bottled in Colombia. Just another marketing rum.

Jennifer Eddy 5.0

Dry, but with intense flavors. Soft on the palate. Not sweet.
