Blackadder South Pacific Raw Cask Rum 2009

"Nice nose, nothing else," shrugs one taster — but most here land warmer than that. Pear and honey lead, backed by roasted nuts, light wood and a fruit-schnapps edge that shows the raw, unfiltered Blackadder style (cask bits and all). At 64% it's sharp and needs time in the glass. Fans of dirty Fiji funk, though, may find it a touch too friendly.

The look inside the bottle

How does Blackadder South Pacific Raw Cask Rum 2009 taste?

Summarized by AI from 14 community reviews.

Sharp, pear-forward Fiji at cask strength Well-liked but demanding — it takes time to open, and Fiji chasers hoping for glue and olive notes found this one tamer than expected. The pear wins people over.

Perfect for

cask-strength drinkers who like fruity Fiji

Less suitable for

anyone chasing heavy glue-and-olive funk

In my. Sample, as you can see in the photo, I have a lot of barrel residue. Very rough, what Blackadder does. The rum is delicious, a little sharp on the palate. The pear and honey really stand out for me.

7.6/10

A special rum that needs some time in the glass. The notes are intense and demanding. Not an everyday rum for me. Woody, roasted with various fruits, I particularly like the pear. Fun to drink.

Style

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.
