#6651 11.04.2026 Enjoying a few samples after work before picking up the wife. Watching Gold Rush on Max. Also a pretty OK bottling where the honey takes front row. The nose is fresh and sweet with honey, coffee, apricot, caramel, cinnamon and light chocolate. The palate is oily and sweet with coffee, honey, light caramel, orange, chocolate and ginger. The finish is medium long and sweet with light wood, chocolate, light cherry, ginger and light caramel.

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.
