The current version of this rum is milder and less heavy. Caramel/honey is more prominent on the nose, palate and finish. Red wine and peppery spices are much less present than in its predecessors. The roasted and fruity notes are also positive.

Pretty decent old rum from the Canary Islands. Cane juice based. 22 years. If only this had more ABV%. Not too sweet. Dry/red wine/port tones. Red fruits. Very easily likable.

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.
