Simply unique. Hate it or love it. I am a fan. For me, it's simply 1000 times more interesting (and better) than the hundredth Hampden. Sweet yeast dough in liquid form. Top!

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.
