I really liked this rum. It was one of two bottles I bought for the birth of my son (the other being Black Tot 51). My wife and I will drink it with him one day. It’s the first American rum I’ve ever tried. It doesn’t pack big flavours like some rums I could mention but it’s well balanced and highly refined. This is the first time I’ve ever tried to pick out tasting notes so I will return to it in a couple of years and update it if necessary as I have several 3ml samples.

Gefällig, für drei Jahre schon recht rund. Recht nahe an Belize oder Barbados-Abfüllungen, Eiche, Vanille, Karamell und etwas Kokos. Mir fehlt bei den Privateers etwas die Eigenständigkeit im Profil - das sind natürlich gute Destillate, aber eben ohne echtes Alleinstellungsmerkmal.

Beautiful, balanced and uncomplicated rum - despite its young age. Strongly reminiscent of Barbados and Belize rums. Ideal for a relaxed evening.

Ein Foursquare-Travellers-Verschnitt. Etwas schwächer als die Originale. Nicht schlecht, aber auch nichts Neues unter der Sonne.

Aged rum

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 Rums

Aged rum is where the spirit earns its complexity. In a tropical warehouse a barrel loses 6 to 10 percent of its contents to evaporation every year, which is why an 8-year Caribbean rum can taste deeper than a 20-year Scotch. This page gathers every rum on RumX that has spent real time in wood, with community ratings to separate the genuinely mature from the merely dark.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`. Put notes here. `headerDeliveryCountry` feeds the aria-label of the destination picker under the express row (commerce/express-destination.js). The strip's visible text is rendered by Hugo itself in rx/price_block.html — nothing else needs seeding. */ -}}
