Beautiful Scotch, or rather orcadian. Nice alcohol strength. Even light esters come through. Really fun on the tongue and nose

Gow/VS Distillers produced going forward. LIkewise the likes of Ninefold and Sugar House also from Scotland. Exciting times for Haggis Juice no doubt. I'd be keen to see what an unaged J Gow white rum might be like as well... If you can secure a bottle then do so. This...

Aged rum 

Avg Rating 8.0/10 over 15,000 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.
