#4618 17.02.2024 Relaxing with a few rums after training on my bike after a longer break. Thanks to Roberto for the samples. Nose Intense and kind of green, fruity, ester, glue, light tar, floral, faint olive. Palate Oily, intense, fruity, ester, dry, floral, salty olive, light medicinal. Finish Dry, medicinal, light smoke, fruity, olive. Draws really nice curtains in the glass. The empty glass has some clove and solvents.

Wie zu erwarten ist das Geschmackserlebnis recht intensiv und primär geprägt von Fruchtaromen. Der Alkohol ist natürlich erkennbar, überlagert aber den Rest des Aromenspektrums nicht. Man muss für diese „Experimente“ offen sein, wer aber auf das ungefilterte Rumerlebnis steht, findet hier ein tolles Release.

Phuuu, Olive sehr präsent was ich gar nicht mag, wie der Creol von Savanna. Ansonsten tiptop für die Alkoholstärke, aber hab sowas auch schon im Cocktail versucht, Olive bleibt. Wenn man es mag, gut. Wenn man es nicht mag, dann schmeckt man es halt immer noch zu sehr.

Really borderline tasty on its own. An absolute stunner in a daiquiri, but still almost too much of a good thing.

Avg Rating 7.8/10 over 1,800 Rums

White rum is the most misunderstood shelf in the spirits store. The same label covers featherlight column-still rums built for daiquiris and unaged Jamaican overproofs that hit 63 percent and smell like a fruit market on fire. This page collects every unaged rum on RumX, from cocktail workhorses to terroir-driven cane juice spirits, each with the community rating that tells you which is which.

` 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. */ -}}
