Tasting Notes:

Camikara Rum displays several promising characteristics marred by notable flaws. It pours with many slow legs, indicative of a syrupy texture, and presents a light amber color that is appealing.

The aroma is a mix of caramel and vanilla with a slight woody background, which initially suggests a classic rum profile.

The texture, while thick and smooth, might feel overly heavy for some, bordering on cloying rather than pleasant.

The flavor profile, dominated by ripe banana, starts promisingly but is quickly overwhelmed by an unpleasant bitterness that lingers too long on the palate. This bitterness disrupts what could otherwise be a harmonious flavor balance, making it challenging to enjoy the rum fully.

While Camikara Rum shows some complexity in its aroma and initial taste, the persistent bitter notes severely limit its appeal. This could make it a contentious choice for rum enthusiasts, appealing only to those with a taste for its particular and somewhat unbalanced flavor profile.
