La Hechicera is Spanish for "the enchantress"... This rum was made in Colombia and is aged in a bourbon barrel solera. Boasting rich notes of chocolatey, earthen spice, sweet fruits, and delicate vanilla, it's very good indeed.

Not a great flavour. Have I had worse certainly but I’ve also had way better in this price range
This is an amazing rum, largely because of the pungent bouquet that hits your nose when you open the bottle. A bouquet full of rum and a hint of spices evoking images of sun soaked islands. My palate isn't good enough to pick out individual notes. What I will say is that I found it a little sweeter than most rums I've tried. This is offset by a burn at the back of the mouth possibly due to the alleged notes of black pepper. It tastes like a rum that's been spiced albeit lightly. Worth trying but not a good rum for sipping, probably better for mixing. This is why I only give it 3 stars.
Underneath, I get dry oak Then above, I get top notes of icing sugar - that I'm beginning to associate with Latin style column still rums. Initially found it a bit forgettable, but slowly but surely, the icing sugar notes started to bug me. Horses for courses, I guess.
This is an awesome sipping rum. Definitely one of my favourite spirits. It's especially good in warm weather. If you have your BBQ going, that's even better. It's everything the above tasting notes say it is.
Absolutely delicious!
