I find this rum very harmonious and easy to drink. The nose is pleasant and sweet with aromas of dried fruit, caramel, baking spices, and butter cake. A floral note accompanies a nice nuttiness and gives way to some orange peel. On the palate, dried dates, caramel, tropical fruits, vanilla, baking spices, nuts, and licorice come through. Later, a bit of cocoa. The 48% ABV makes it very smooth and approachable. The medium-long finish is pleasantly spicy with cask notes, caramel, nuts, and dried fruit. Chocolate, wood, and a floral note round out the finish. I really enjoyed this pour. Thanks to @Mur for the great sample 😀

#6984 02.07.2026 Relaxing with a few samples after a checkup at the doctor. Listening to some EDM for a change on Spotify. Surprisingly good rum from this relatively new rum country. Fresh and grassy profile with fruits, honey, caramel and light roasted wood and salt.

7.5/10

The next rum from the Galapagos Islands, I wonder what it can do? A Spanish style that almost disappoints me a bit. Vanilla, caramel, a bit of orange, somehow I feel like something's missing here. Towards the finish, a bit of chocolate, like what you know from Ecuador? Easy to drink, but that's about it.

Aged rum

Style

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.
