8.3/10

8,3:On the nose, the first impression we get is a juicy sugarcane, swimming in honey, fresh, grassy, spicy with cinnamon and with black tea.The fruits are yellow and citrus, as a wood is roasted with caramel and chocolate, all very round. On aeration, it becomes a bit waxy, flowery and herbaceous, the fruits dried and the wood brings pastry and nuts. 8,3:On the palate, the attack is juicy and sweet, creamy with sugarcane honey, some tea, spicy with pepper, cinnamon and vanilla. The fruits are fresh, yellow and citrus, of course dried join with raisins, figs, apricots.The wood is roasted with nougat and nuts.Sugarcane becomes earthy, mineral, herbaceous and flowery with a lavender. 8,2:The finish is medium long, with dry and spicy roasted wood notes like cream toffee, chocolate and mocha, the sugarcane still juicy and sweet with honey, mineral and fresh with grass, tea, earthy.The fruits are dried with raisins, prunes, some citrus remains.

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.
