14.08.1992 Attending a small tasting event at this old hotel where everyone is new to me. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Light, fresh, light roasted wood, earthy, orange, faint leather. Palate Light, light wood, fruity, orange, faint strawberry, light leather, tobacco, faint mint. Finish Medium long, light, light anise, nutts, faint anise. 3.5 stars of 5.0 which should amount to 7.0 today.

Oliver · FounderBy rum lovers, for rum lovers
I'm Oliver, and RumX began in 2018 as a small passion project in Stuttgart, back then under the name Rum Tasting Notes.
What began as my digital tasting diary is now the world's most comprehensive platform for rum fans, today carried by a small team with Jakob, Lukas and Katharina, with Robert supporting us as a freelancer. We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, so you can choose with confidence, without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
