Overall, a very flavorful and enjoyable rum. The nose is a bit sharp/aggressive, with some broad fruitiness and a slight tang. The palate has a fun blend of different sweet flavors, spanning deep chocolate, fresh red fruits, and a little marshmallow. The mouthfeel is a tad strong, but packs decent flavor to compensate. The finish is initially quite similar to the palate and lasts a while, evolving in the end towards some unexpected vegetal/grassy fresh flavors.

Hi test. A little much for me, as I’m just starting my rum journey. I sip my spirits neat, couldn’t do it with this one. Had to water it down.

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.
