8,2:On the nose, sugarcane, flowery, herbaceous, mineral, fresh with tea, Madeira wine barrel impact, dried(apricots, raisins, currants) and yellow fruits, roasted wood notes like dark chocolate, burnt sugar, some vanilla, bump into our nosetrils. On aeration, it becomes slightly waxy, citrus fruits arise, the cane is grassy, earthy with cigar tobacco, leather and toffee come out, frankincense and clove. 8,1:On the palate, the attack is spicy, mineral with flowery sugarcane, sweet with honey, earthy with cigar tobacco, roasted wood notes like burnt sugar, nuts, leather, smoky, spicy with pepper, a bit salty, fruity with dried fruits like apricots, raisins, yellow fruits.Madeira barrel impact is strong with tannins...some fruit schnapps hints also pop up in between. 8:The finish is medium long, dry and tannic, with very sweet sugar honey, flowery, grassy, fresh with tea, dried fruits and nutty oak, spicy.

Good Madeira rum. However, for a very good rating, it lacks some complexity and body.

Quite nice but not an exceptional Madeira rum. Overall seems a bit thin and especially lacks complexity.

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.
