7.5/10

#6650 11.04.2026 Enjoying a few samples after work before picking up the wife. Watching Gold Rush on Max. Also a pretty decent release with a lot of vanilla. The nose is fresh and shas vanilla, coffee, light wood, caramel, orange and light chocolate. The palate is sweet and oily with light wood, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, faint smoke, coffee and citrus. The finish is long and sweet with light roasted wood, chocolate, caramel, light orange and coffee.

Aged rum

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.
