8.2/10

Nose and palate complement each other pleasantly on this rum with vegetal, woody, and spicy notes. A dark side brought by the wood, vegetal notes, especially eucalyptus. And then vanilla and chocolate. All of this comes together very harmoniously. Very nice.

Alcohol could be a bit better integrated, but taste-wise nicely balanced.

Beautiful bottle but deserves a bit of aeration! Finish a bit too much on the anise for me.

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.
