Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →Another few mouthfuls and it's all getting very flowery and perfumed. This isn't good rum because truthfully this isn't rum. As a drink it's not something I would seek out either.

Oliver · FounderBy rum lovers, for rum lovers
I'm Oliver, and RumX began in 2018 as a small passion project in Stuttgart, back then under the name Rum Tasting Notes.
What began as my digital tasting diary is now the world's most comprehensive platform for rum fans, today carried by a small team with Jakob, Lukas and Katharina, with Robert supporting us as a freelancer. We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, so you can choose with confidence, without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
