Nice set up. Real deal

Great gift idea true size instructions are just one piece of paper so Don

Mamaaaajuanaaa !! mamajuanaaaa ! Bought this because my friends and I were going to an El Alfa concert and it was the best ! We made this 4 weeks before the concert so it was perfect for the night of ! Sidenote ::: When you receive your purchase THE HERBS ARE THE ONLY THING THATS PRE MADE NOT THE WHOLE DRINK 🙄

I'll start by saying this: I'm Puerto Rican, not Dominican. I found out about mamajuana through a friend at work who has family on the island, and got really interested when I heard about its Taino origins. I tried some of his and was kind of thrown by the strange blend of flavors. I had to get some for myself. I was skeptical about buying from an American seller, and ordering online in general(the Dominicano gets his brought over from the island) but I'm definitely impressed with the product. The first thing to stand out is how much is packed into the bottle; the thing is packed right up to the neck and there is a nice variety of ingredients distributed throughout. The aroma, even dry, is strong and aromatic. After reading around and asking the Dominicano for advice, I cured it with wine and white rum for two weeks and let it macerate in 80% gold rum 20% honey for one week before tasting. I was surprised how well the flavors infused in just a week. The taste is woody with a strong anis and mild cinnamon underneath. The liquor is thickened by the honey and retained the reddish color and slightly fruity aftertaste from the wine I cured it with, even though I didn't add any more for maceration. I'm hooked. The flavor is great and I can say from my experience so far that after one shot my sore throat was gone and my sinuses cleared up. Cons: the only downside to the bottle being so full is that you end up with around half a bottle of liquid at the end. After I took the last sip from my first batch, I immediately regretted now getting a bigger bottle. On the upside, the smaller size allows the ingredients to infuse pretty quickly and I've had a new batch ready for the last three weekends with good strength and flavor. Out of curiosity, I bought a pack of dry herbs from the other seller on Amazon(K-rla). They ship directly from the island and the price is a little lower, but I wasn't impressed when I got the package in the mail. The aromatic woods looked lower quality and there were maybe six leaves, two anis estrella, and no roots in the whole pack. It's still curing so I don't know about flavor, but the difference in quality and the number of ingredients is pretty obvious. To sum it up: I'm very impressed with Don Zavier Mamajuana and look forward to many more batches and hopefully getting a bottle that holds enough to last more than a thirsty night or two.

Thanks

Item arrive damaged. Unable to return it will have to figure out a new solution

I honestly thought I was not going to like it since it was not cinnamon flavored but It turned out to be very good on its own. I have both flavors on hand and like them both. Good stuff.

Can’t believe I purchased this item. No rum in bottle!! Just some aromatics and a glass bottle. Bit of a con I’d say.
