Stroh 40

Not entirely to my taste, but quite unique that there is something positive here as well. I just don't know exactly what.

The worst rum I've ever drunk. I think it's only good for cakes

Long drinkbe, és koktélok...másba nem ajánlom. Vannak ár értékben sokkal jobb rumok.

I drank it in Austria nearly 30 years ago, and bought a small bottle in memory of my teenage. Well I forgot we sank it with coke. Its smells like paint thinner, why would you drink that? Even mixed? I will use it to fire up the next BBQ.

Made from sugar beets. Good for cooking or for mixing in homemade Jagertee.
Rated 3 for it serves a purpose during cooking but not advised for drinking pure or in the usual cocktails.

Jedna jen proto, že tu nejde dát mínus 10. Nejodpornější lihovina jakou jsem kdy pil, vypálená snad z proslazených rakušáckých hoven jako eko-bio spezialität a dolitá standardní rumovou trestí, takže od smradu nevaruje, ale chuť je opravdu tak děsivě hnusná, že žádný z tuzemských rumů se tomu nikdy ani z dálky nepřiblížil (i když ty jsem pil naposledy v minulém tisíciletí, takže nemohu vyloučit, že mezitím Božkov dostihnul zahraniční vzory; předloni jsem ze zvědavosti ochutnal jejich zelenou, která už za bolševika byla obecně hodně eklhaft, ale rozhodně tenkrát nechutnala, jako když nableje do Jaru s hašlerkama, takže čert ví).
Iron a Okena rulez!

Flavoured crap that has little to do with actual rum.

I'm surprised by the very low rating. Is it the sweetness, or simply the reputation of inlander rums being "fake" rums? As far as I know, Stroh makes their liquors from sugarcane nowadays. This may not be the best rum to ever grace a supermarket shelve, but it's a decent drink at a fair price. Not too great for sipping, the vanilla and cinnamon notes are not for me, but it works in sweet cocktails.

I was taken aback by the smell once opened but after a short while it wasn’t so offensive. The taste was shocking but after a few moments on my pallet it was satisfying. Not a rum as I know it but it could certainly raise the spirits at a party.

So, shots in an Austrian bar. When in Rome and all that. Got to try it.
Industrial alcohol and colouring. Had to force it down
