Helios Teeda Aged 5 Years 2014

6.8/10 31 community reviews ↓

A solid stepping stone for curious explorers who like unusual profiles: light, floral and honeyed on the nose, very soft on the palate with hints of green tea, sesame and tropical fruit. Best neat for study, or in light cocktails. RumX members find it interesting and different rather than broadly crowd‑pleasing.

  • Floral honey nose
  • Green-tea nuance

How does Helios Teeda Aged 5 Years 2014 taste?

Aggregated from 31 community reviews.

Light, floral, intriguingly different rum A solid stepping stone for curious explorers who like unusual profiles: light, floral and honeyed on the nose, very soft on the palate with hints of green tea, sesame and tropical fruit. Best neat for study, or in light cocktails. RumX members find it interesting and different rather than broadly crowd‑pleasing.

Perfect for

Curious tasters who enjoy delicate, floral spirits (sake, light Japanese whisky, fortified white wine) and want an offbeat, low-ABV rum to explore.

Less suitable for

Those wanting rich, full-bodied sweetness or classic molasses rum character; anyone who dislikes light, sake-like, slightly medicinal or roasted notes.

7.2/10

7,5:The nose of this rum is marked by notes of tropical fruit, floral, medicinal, varnish, iodine and honey.I forgot a bit as the tasting was last year, but from the start, the rum is complex and tempting and a bit unusual. Definitely, the strongest are tropical fruits and honey. 7,5:On the palate, it delivers flavors of roasted, medicinal, flowery-Jasmin, honey, and light notes....and of course green tea. 🙂 It is as tempting as on the nose is, so quite gourmand.. 6,7:The finish is medium long, with notes of green tea, honey, fruits, Jasmin that continue on. It has an overall taste that is worth a try. It makes an interesting addition to any rum collection. AND IT IS DIFFERENT.

Tres aqueu, je n’aurais pas forcément dit un rhum à l’aveugle. Meme si sans grand intérêt c’est assez interessant sur la graine de sesame grillé, plutôt fin et fleurit.

6.7/10

An experienxe per se, but lacking complexity with the specific rice undertones that, if I quite like them, might not be anyone's cup of tea.

6.5/10

Nez assez floral, fleur blanche, jasmin frais, litchi, fruit blanc en boîte de conserve Bouche. Moins charmant que le nez. Trop réduit, évanescent, Édit : bouche pourrait faire penser à un saké basique...

A tester. Intéressant à avoir dans sa cave pour changer de temps en temps.
