Almost everyone calls this one a curiosity more than a nightly pour. It's a strange beast: medicinal, mineral and rubbery with a burnt-plastic edge from the local limestone water, plus a little salinity. One taster still found sour honey and fruit underneath. A few felt let down that 45% leaves it a touch watery and short.

How does Inverroche Limestone Rum 2009 taste?
Summarized by AI from 35 community reviews.
Weird, mineral, medicinal tasting-glass oddity Genuinely unique — mineral, medicinal, rubbery, unlike any other rum. Most love it as a tasting piece, not a sipper; some wish it hit harder than 45%.

Okay I enjoyed this one a lot. Something unique - minerals, chemistry, connected with technicality, rubber almost leather tones. I will remember this one :)

This is one of the beautiful examples why I say rum is the most creative spirit of all when it comes to the range of flavors and aromas offered. What the lime water used for dilution managed to do to the flavor is incredible. Everyone should taste it, few will like it.
Review by Roman Lelek
Color - even if it’s 10 years old, it’s light yellow, like white wine. The taste is unusual - for rum. It reminds me some old sour honey - sweet, old, mineral and medicinal… I don’t feel rubber, but more like fruits. The end is quite fast, bitter with woody tones. Personal note - interesting for degustations, not for regular drinking.
Review by Michal S
Interesting, not a rum for regular sipping and savoring. Absolutely brutal combination of medicinal, mineral tones and rubber, slight saltiness.
Review by Martin Ekrt
Blind tasting. Definitely a unique rum.
Review by Martin Švojgr
What lime water can do during fermentation is amazing. A significant rum like no other.
Review by Michal Jurka
This is once again another unicorn in the rum world and it was such a weirdly satisfying experience that I had to buy a bottle. Very technical, like burnt plastic, mineral, because of the local water, medicinal and herbal, but you can still get behind this i taste something traditional like caramel and fruits.
Review by Pavel Spacek
Sooo mild technical nose.

Review by Richard Krupa
Great piece, I expected it to be a bit more pronounced, but it's just right. Burnt cables, buzzkill. Super
Review by Vinsdorf
Well, I was expected sth crazy. But nothing came. Its smooth because of low abv., very fruity and fresh lemon with metallic tone. I can drink it all night long. But its quite watery.
Review by Dušan Houska
Interesting "weakness" gives it a new dimension. Too bad about the lower strength, with 10% more it would be a blast. Still a good and interesting rum...

Read full review →This is a rum you just want to try. It's something completely different again, from an unexpected destination, from an unknown "rum" brand, and you have to approach it like that. I believe Limestone rum won't taste good to everyone.
