Silver Seal Haitian Rum 2004

Smells sweeter than it drinks — the nose promises tropical fruit, pineapple and vanilla, then the palate turns dry, tart and lean. Think green apple, lime and a metallic-anise edge, warm and a touch oily at 51%. One member reckoned you could mistake it for a Hampden; another wished it kept more of the fruit it teases. A dry, ester-driven Haitian for people who like their rum sharp.

The community says
  • Bright ester nose
  • Warm oily body

Dry, ester-driven Haitian, sweet nose, lean palate Most land on likeable-but-restrained: dry, fruity and well-made, though a few find it too thin and lean, with the palate never quite delivering the fruit the nose sets up.

A while back we had a nice Silver Seal tasting and a great evening ended with me being a bit tipsy from a few reruns 😊 This is a really nice release. Dry and fruity with a light woody note and spices. Warm and oily on the palate and it draws really nice curtains in the glass.

Very drinkable but unfortunately a bit thin & little fruit in the taste that you are already looking forward to in the nose...

Could easily be mistaken for a Hampden. Very dry, but good to drink. So not my thing, but good as a sample. But a must for Hampden freaks.

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.
