Review: Hispaniola Mamajuana

[Arctic Wolf]

Hispaniola Mamajuana is produced by Mardi S.A. made from aged rum and honey as well as a secret recipe of over twenty different herbs and spices. It bottled at 30 % alcohol by volume. My sample for this review was provided by Rum Runner Imports who are bringing the product to market in my home Province.

Here is an excerpt from the review:

“….There seems to be a myriad of aromas trying to escape as soon as the glass is poured. Anise, woody herbs, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, honey, and faint airs of brown sugar all rise up in a stew of exotic aroma. The nose is aggressive and almost seems medicinal with hints of menthol. (I guess I should not be surprised as the original mamajuana is considered a medicine in folklore.)…”

Hi Chip,

Just chimin' in to say I really appreciate your reviews. I do not write about them a lot but I read them all.

And as a sweet tooth, this U Wanna Coffee sure looks delicious. I'll make sure to grab a bottle while in BC next month.

Hi Ben,

I really appreciate the kind words. I try very hard to be honest in my reviews and to convey the passion I feel and the fun I have in writing the reviews.

It is a huge boost to my confidence when my honesty and passion is rewarded by persons like yourself who connect with and appreciate what I do.

Arctic great review of a great rum. I haven't had a lot of spiced rums (lack of availability and desire) but this one knocked my socks off at the last MOR tasting in NYC. Actually, if I could have brought a rum home with me this would have been the one as I haven't been able to find it state side since.

Yes, nice review. I too have been dying to pick up a bottle of this since I tried it at the NYC rum festival. I haven't seen it on the shelves yet, though.

I added a nice picture of my second cocktail to the review. Of course that meant my wife and i each had to have one... all in the name of ongoing research you understand!

It's about time you made your wife a cocktail., or two.

You can add the cocktail and the picture to the database if you're inclined, of course there will be a link to your blog in the credits for the cocktail.
