Ron de Jeremy XO

6.5/10
81 community reviews ↓

Don't let the 15-year age and "XO" on the label fool you — this drinks like a sweetened, chocolatey sipper rather than an old, dry Panama rum. Caramel, cola and roasted notes up front, then a heavily sugared finish that several tasters found flat and weirdly sharp at the same time. One reviewer pegged it close to Diplomático 12, just less rounded.

  • Decent nose
  • Chocolate-caramel notes
  • Easy for beginners

How does Ron de Jeremy XO taste?

Aggregated from 81 community reviews.

Very sweet, chocolatey, more liqueur than aged rum Opinions run low here. The nose gets some credit, but most find it too sweet, thin and oddly hot, with the sugar masking rather than balancing. A few call it fine for beginners.

Perfect for

People starting out who want a sweet, soft, dessert-style rum

Less suitable for

Anyone avoiding added sugar or wanting a dry, classic aged Panama rum

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.

Ich bin fest davon überzeugt dass die fast 100g Zucker pro Liter hier eine falsche Angabe sind. Man merkt nichts davon, bzw. nicht in diesem Ausmaß. Während die Nase noch ganz ordentlich ist, wird's dann geschmacklich speziell im Vergleich wirklich flach. Röstig war wohl das Ziel, verbrannter Zuckergedöns das Ergebnis. Trotzdem: nicht so süß wie er sollte, nicht so mies wie er könnte. Nachtrag: Inzwischen fühlt sich das hauptsächlich schokoladig mit alkoholischer Schärfe an. Keine derartige Masse an Zucker wie vermutet, aber definitiv kaschiert man hier mit Süße.

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

It reminds me of Diplomatico 12 very much. Thats the closest description I can give. Oh and it is fairly sweet.

No prostě paradička pro začátečníky. Můj první rum,sladká vzpomínka. Teď už pod názvem hell. Přijde mi,že pod tímto názvem už není tak dobrý.

Expert review by The Fat Rum Pirate

"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..."
