Review by BTHHo 🥃
Full flavor with oak spice, licorice and nutmeg, later on to stewed banana, demerara sugar and chocolate. There is a lot going on, but I like, that it finds a good balance. The aftertaste is long, with more cinnamon and spicy chocolate, anise, dry tobacco and ripe fruits. A well-structured rum blend, with a somewhat heavy Trinidad style base. A lovely tropical fruitiness and dark sweetness add extra layers. Overall a nice rum 👍
Review by Aussierumfan
A well constructed Navy style blend. Im getting spices, darm chocolate and some tobacco. Dark with a layer of fruitiness. Balanced. A great rum, however the origional 50th anniversary bottling is the best of the series thus far in my opinion.
Review by heckto🥃
I am pleasantly surprised. Normally rums with this alcohol content are nothing for my beginner's palate. Here, however, the alcohol is very well integrated, not at all tangy. Flavor-wise, it's quite versatile: chocolate, caramel, banana and other fruits with a woody note. I like it. Unfortunately, I lack comparison to its predecessors.

RumX Advent Calendar 22.12.Unbelievably chocolaty, has reminded me in the nose first of the Koloa CocoaIn the mouth resonates in the background a mint note with which I like very well!To the 50th anniversary but no other bottling has come close yet
Review by Rowald Sweet Empire
Tasted at the Whisky & Rum aan Zee festival IJmuiden 2023. More chocolately. Very different from the othef vintages.
Review by TheRhumhoe
A harmonious Navy Blend, which leaves beautiful spicy and grassy notes on the nose before giving way to more caramelized, chocolate and caffeinated aromas. Toasted hazelnuts, dried and exotic fruits bring an additional sweetness on an already very sweet profile.In the mouth, the attack is warm, spicy, with a slight bitterness brought by herbs and thyme. The spices dominate the proceedings, while the roasted and caramelized notes accompany a subtle and delicate fruitiness.The finish is unfortunately rather short. We still perceive the herbs, spices and typical notes of Guyana. We feel a strong influence of Demerara (Enmore or Versailles at first sight) which perfumes well the global profile. The alcohol is well integrated. One could criticize a lack of vivacity and length on the finish, but it remains a good Blend for the 2022 edition, very pleasant and accessible, both for the palate and the price.
Review by Alex1981
Fruity and spicy, not getting much Guyana out of it. Lacking in complexity compared to 2021 & 2023. There is a alight mintyness on palate & finish that I find rather distracting. Still solid but last place conpared to the other annual releases.
Review by TheJackDrop
Notes de dégustation : Nez : un peu plus fermé, très marqué par le chocolat noir, le café, et un peu de coco. Bouche : une texture plus grasse, qui suit bien le nez. De ce fait le blend est plus équilibré, mais aussi un peu plus « simple » en bouche. Finale : moyennement longue, plus épicée, boisée, et chaude. Seul un voile de menthol discret vient apaiser un peu le palais. Plus équilibré, un peu plus simple, mais une finale qui redonne un second souffle à cette cuvée ! A noter, une belle texture plus crémeuse, celle qui m’a le + plût du lot.

Review by Filip Šikula
Navy rumy nejsou něco, s čím bych měl mnoho zkušeností, ale mal je rád. A tento Je velmi velmi píjemný. Ve vůní cítiľ nakouřené dřevo, kůži, karamel a ovoce. V chuti dominují kožené chuti guyana a kořeněné tóny barbadosu.
Review by Galli33
#22nd dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: fruity, apricot, coconut, orange peal, woody, coffee Mouth: complex, chocolate, caramelized, minty, licorice Finish: mid long, dry, minty, chocolate, mocha, barrel notes, toasted A very enjoyable blend. I’ve missed a bit of the spicyness of a good navy blend. All in all it’s well blended, round, balanced, complex with a lot of fun. For me: 2020>2021>2022 My prediction: This could be from Belize or Foursquare… a bit tricky approx. 50% approx. 20 years of aging
Review by DomM
Dark and balanced navy blend. Pretty enjoyable.
Review by mto75
in direct comparison with the MBR 21:In the 21, the Hampden portion is clearly perceptible, in the 22, however, I perceive the Foursquare portion. In addition to the coconut and chocolate, I still have very clear orange peel / tangerine and some allspice. On the palate, the differences are no longer so great. However, the 21er still seems a touch more intense, and has a longer finish. The BT 50 remains the measure of things, then the MBR 21, then the MBR 22.
Review by Vincent D
Un navy plutôt agréable. Plus gourmand et sucré que je ne l'attendais. Des notes de tabac, de colle, de caoutchouc. Des esters. Un vrai blend avec un style "navy" bien marqué. Vraiment très agréable.

"Extremely pleasing navy blend without flaws but also without real highlights. Aromatic predominantly with the Guyana and Barbados component. Due to the slight sweetness relaxed drinkable."Read full review →
