Review by Henry Davies

5.5/10

Most reminiscent to me of the ethanol forward DDL Versailles still releases. Young and somewhat brash. Nose is alcoholic alongside honey and an ethanol/acetone element, palette is spicy with olive notes and and takes a while to hit, with a pleasant caramel at the very end of the finish. Handles the 57% ABV well with a moderate and lingering length. It drinks well for the age but it’s not as good as I was expecting and just doesn’t come together in the way many other rums do - will try other examples from the distillery but I’m not yet convinced

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 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.
