I really like the Madeira rum, the aging in wine casks is very noticeable, alcohol well integrated, very smooth. I can recommend it to anyone who also likes wine 😁

Madeira cask no longer lets you recognize the base spirit. It's clearly too much for me.

6.5/10

The rum has strong roasted and woody aromas with notes of chocolate, cappuccino, malt, and molasses. On the nose, caramel, cola, and port wine, but overall rather flat. On the palate, the alcohol is clearly noticeable and not well integrated, making it sharp and unbalanced. The spice and bitterness remain dominant, fruit and sweetness mainly come from the cask and overshadow the rum. Overall solid, but no knockout...

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.
