Australian Rums Tasting, Rum Club Switzerland. A nose of vanilla, cedar wood and strongly infused black tea. The palate is acqueous, then cedarwood and tea dominate. The finish is obviously short and completely dominated by cedarwood. A cedarwood and tea infusion rather than a rum here. A sample collected from the distillery by David.

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.
