Vintage 2015, in a Madeira cask. I rate it 8.1 out of 10, a very good rum.

#7028 11.07.2026 Relaxing with some evening samples while watching "Song of the Samurai" A Japanese TV series. Pretty nice rum at a nice price tag (I get them straight from the island because a friend of mine travels there a few times a year). An intense profile with deep fruit, roasted wood, spices, sugarcane, herbs and grass.

Alcohol could be better integrated. Otherwise solid, but somewhat flat.

Expert review by The Dunder Hut

Funnily enough I don't get any of the Madeira cask in this. This is I think what a good standard entry of engenhos do norte should be like god mixture of cask aging and good alcohol integration. I like it!

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.
