Ron de Jeremy XO
Here's the surprise: for a rum this heavily sweetened, the sugar doesn't fully smooth things out. The nose is the strong part — caramel, cola, a nutty edge — but the palate turns flat and burnt-sugary, with a chocolate note and a bit of alcohol sharpness poking through. One member pegged it close to Diplomático 12. Sweet Panama style, plenty of sugar, not much depth.
The community says- Pleasant caramel nose
- But: High sugar content
- But: Flat, burnt palate

How does Ron de Jeremy XO taste?
Summarized by AI from 84 community reviews.
Very sweet, flat, burnt-caramel Panama sipper Opinions run low. Most find it very sweet with a flat, burnt-caramel palate and a sharpness the sugar never quite rounds off. The nose gets the most credit.

Pleasantly soft
Review by Tim
The smell is still the best thing about this rum, then in the mouth is the total crash. With almost 100g / L actually already a liqueur, yet the sugar does not manage to round off the sharpness in the mouth and aftertaste. The extreme sweetness and spiciness is irritating and one wonders why so much sugar was added at all if a certain spiciness was intended. This rum is a strange accident.
Review by Kamil Čmiel
Simply a paradise for beginners. My first rum, a sweet memory. Now under the name Hell. It seems to me that under this name it’s not as good anymore.
Review by rum_sk
It reminds me of Diplomatico 12 very much. Thats the closest description I can give. Oh and it is fairly sweet.
Review by Jan Sajbrt
Sweet, but very friendly in taste. Nothing special, but not too sweet.
Review by Gregor
Too sweet, unbalanced. No character. And very flat.
Review by Pongo
Aromatic rum. Spicy notes of pepper and nutmeg.

Incredibly sweet... absolutely nothing for me!!
Review by Schnapsschuesse
I am firmly convinced that the almost 100g sugar per liter here is a wrong figure. You don't notice it, or at least not to that extent. While the nose is still quite decent, it gets really flat taste-wise in comparison. Roasty was probably the goal, burnt sugar stuff the result. Still: not as sweet as it should be, not as bad as it could be. Addendum: By now it mainly feels chocolatey with alcoholic sharpness. No such mass of sugar as suspected, but definitely sweetness is used to mask it.
Review by Kieron Wood
This would be a 5 it didn't have the too sweet aftertaste ... This is stupidly sweet and has heaps of sugar added into it

Read full review →For me, it's an interesting rum. Until I looked up how much sugar this rum contains, I wouldn't have guessed such a high number at all. Of course, you can tell that it is colored and sweetened.
Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate
Read full review →This is a catastrophic fuck up by those responsible for the blending. No doubt like countless other shit "rums", it well sell by the bucketload. No doubt the faux reviewers will lap up their free samples and give it high praise indeed. Let them get on with it but if...
