One stored grogue and it's completely different: Nose: Almost no longer this fermented, vegatable, green. Instead, there is vanilla, cherry, a little toffee, moist, mild but acidic tobacco. A little chamomile. But all somewhat artificial. Palate: oh, what's that? While the nose was still pleasant, here comes a nasty off-note. Earthy, musty, grassy. But unpleasant. Plus a slight, unpalatable eucalyptus note. Sour and sugar water at the end. Unfortunately nothing for me.

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.
