7.5/10

Very nice nose, on strawberry and esters. The palate is disappointing compared to the nose, much less fruity. A pity.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste

A Highester monster from South Africa, reminiscent of a Savannah Lord with its berry aromatics. The first sip is very powerful, some water suits it quite well. The red fruits are accompanied by a creamy and creamy texture. Should have tasted once!

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.
