7.8/10

On the nose, the whole palette of typical distillery aromas immediately stands out, almost unmistakable, pleasant but not as strong as in other releases of other bottlings, overall excellent. On the palate, it needs some resting, in my opinion the alcohol slightly overpowers the palate. After more than thirty minutes it becomes slightly gentler on the palate while the nose improves considerably. In the glass it is quite viscous, considering I tasted it with two different glasses designed to best characterize both nose and palate. Overall it is pleasant and decisive except for the alcoholic note, personally I don't find it too balanced. (PS: the rating, like the impressions, are purely personal)

Wow, great rum from the Fijis here, I'm getting more and more excited for next year :) You could also call this Hampden, esters, solvents, and (overripe) tropical fruits are recognizable here. Great stuff.

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.
