1.8/10

The nose has roasted nuts, nougat and some juicier touchs of coconut in the background. Quite oaky. The palate is warming. The oak is more present here. There's also molasses and brown sugar. A similar profile to the younger El Dorado's but with more wood. The finish is short. Only really the oak remains but there's also an aggressive spice. Tasting this started good but ended poorly. The palate is overly oaked and the finish has too much punchy spice. Not one I would recommend.

Aged rum

Style

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 16,000 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.

` between two key/value pairs terminates the expression and Hugo fails the whole build with `unexpected "{" in operand`.
