8.5/10

Rum and chocolate tasting from Rum Club Switzerland. A nose of wood varnish but without waiting, the fruits, lots of fruits are there. The palate also welcomes fruits, tropical and dried fruits. The finish is long with a nice balance between the fruits and the varnish.

#7217 25.08.2026 Enjoying some fresh samples I just got from my friend while listening to some new Psy Trance tracks on Spotify Thanks Henrik for the samples! Also an easy peasy, very good rum with an even better price tag. Intense profile with ester, varnish, glue, roasted wood, sugarcane, overripe fruits, caramel, floral, spice, coffee, tannins and a warm dry palate.

8.2/10

Quite sweet in the nose with notes of caramel and cherry/almond essens. The mouthfeel is sharp. At first sweet caramel and lemon curdy feeling then vanilla and a medium finish with peppery cocoa nippy notes

Aged rum

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.
