#5637 06.09.2025 Retasting with 5 of the local guys and I really like it a lot. This is a rum that you either like or don't. There is no in between because this ia really different. The rum is oily and draws really nice curtains in the glass. Light fruity with a hint of sake and floral notes. There is also a note of silage. The group was split in two whether to like it or not.

#1752 20-03-2026 - Rate 0.5 Our club bought a agricole set from Kevin. To challenge our selves. We usually don’t drink much agricole. Have some few favorits (Savanna, Bellevue and most Haiti) We are not fans of this one. Sorry for the low rating, but we really don’t like it. Nice to be challenged and to try something different. This one was the best of the tasting, but as the rating shows I’m still not up there with the once who loves agricole. This is the second worst’s I have ever tasted. Sorry Kevin, but this is not me

Avg Rating 7.8/10 over 1,800 Rums

White rum is the most misunderstood shelf in the spirits store. The same label covers featherlight column-still rums built for daiquiris and unaged Jamaican overproofs that hit 63 percent and smell like a fruit market on fire. This page collects every unaged rum on RumX, from cocktail workhorses to terroir-driven cane juice spirits, each with the community rating that tells you which is which.
