TCRL Night Rambler 2018

Members keep coming back to this as a mixing weapon — a blend of Haitian clairin and Jamaican ester that lands hard in a daiquiri or Mai Tai. Fresh-cut grass, fermented banana, glue and a saline, almost olive-like edge; the clairin's vegetal, floral side runs the show while the Jamaica plays behind it. Neat it's odd and sour for some, but at 42% the alcohol sits well and it drinks fine.

The community says
  • Daiquiri powerhouse

Grassy clairin-Jamaica blend, a daiquiri weapon Most call it a great blend at a great price — a cocktail powerhouse first. Neat, the sour, floral clairin note takes over, so try it in a daiquiri before judging.

Oh yes, definitely Clairin in it. This typical Intense vegatible smell lets through almost nothing of Jamaican. Fresh yet musty muted. Fermented banana can be smelled as well as violets. A bit of asparagus water and sellar juice.On the palate, the rum is milder and more balanced than the nose. Still the Clairin's very own flavor is dominant, veggie, fresh, floral. A touch of coconut follows.The low alcohol content does not interfere, on the contrary: it makes the rum well drinkable even neat. Only the finish is somewhat short.surprisingly good.

Fabulous blend: the full broadside of fermented and overripe fruit, freshly cut grass, glue and a little salt. Pairs perfectly as an ingredient in the Mai Tai, Jamaican Rum Punch and other tiki classics. Unfortunately currently no longer available.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste

What a great blend. The Casimir sets both in the nose and in the mouth clearly in the scene, but the Jamaica plays in the background nicely with. Goes pure very well but also as a mix ingredient in the drink, but then with this very own, but beautiful, vegetal-fruity flavor. For the price a blast!

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 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.
