Banks 7 Golden Blend
Loved by Godspeed
A solid stepping stone blend at 43% with unsweetened character and moderate complexity. RumX members note Demerara depth, tropical fruit, coffee and spice. Sippable, but really shines as a versatile cocktail base under €30.

Review by Decky Hicks Doughty
The nose is rather round with notes of tropical fruits and roasted coffee. The palate is much more spice dominant with some lingering fruits but more European then tropical. The finish is medium in length. With woody tannins and dried fruits and a cocoa note. Overall this is a very nice rum and much better than expected. An interesting taste with the Indonesian arrack very much visible.
Review by Godspeed
I’m going through my cocktail rums and this is one of my more recent acquisitions. It’s one of the go-to rum for haute cocktail bar Death & Company and I can see why. Great price, surprisingly complex flavor from the mix of 7 nation sources (mostly english style). Highly recommended assuming you can get it for under 30 euros. Not terrible as a sipper but straight up great as a cocktail rum.

Very pleasant. Forward on the Demerara flavours.

Plenty of flavor at the back of the palate, pleasantly bitter sensation
