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.

  • Daiquiri powerhouse

Not too bad for a white one, but 7.8? Not with me :-) It has Jamaican roots, esters, tropical fruits and glue. But some reunion is also recognizable. Olive and lots of vegetality.

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 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.
