Flensburg Rum Company Barbados & Jamaica

One member called it an "astonishingly mild rum" that goes down easy with people who don't usually drink spirits, and that sums it up. Expect banana, raisin and a little pineapple with a light ester lift, all wrapped in obvious sweetness. Several tasters found it pleasant but watered-down at 40% — nice aromas, thin follow-through. An easy entry-level Barbados-Jamaica blend.

The community says
  • Very mild

Quite reserved on the nose. Slightly fresh and lemony, but somehow also green and vegetal. A slight spice of already evaporated tobacco. Spicy and herbal, unfortunately also a bit watered down and thin. Very light ester notes, but more green tea and a hint of chocolate. In the finish, something remains that reminds me of green leaves. Entry-level, for me a bit thin, but has a good play of aromas...

Knowing my Barbadian rums I started by resting this one for 15 minutes so that it could release all its flavours. Clearly a Bajan rum but slightly modified and I like it. Sweet and spicy at the same time with fruits and a hint of the barrel. Would have loved it to be older and with a higher ABV (50% as a minimum).

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.
