#4490 03-04.11.2023 Den Danske Whiskyfestival. Again a special meet up besides the event itself because we think it's a bit too dull. Had a great time with friends again. My notes. Nose: wood, roasted, raisin, cinnamon, sweet. Palate: oily, wood, roasted, raisin, honey, medium dry. Finish: medium long, roasted, wood, dried fruit, medium dry. Empty glass has light medicinal notes.

Relatively dry, roasted, and woody. Very exciting Venezuelan rum without the usual dominant sweetness. I like it a lot!

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.
