Paranubes Oaxaca Añejo Rum Limited Edition

Made for drinkers who want something that doesn't taste like a standard rum at all. This Mexican cane-juice spirit lands somewhere between mezcal, young agricole and fermented fruit — pear, honey, anise, plus a real salty, bacon-and-olive savory streak. The 18 months in oak softened its funk without killing it. Several tasters flag the alcohol as a little unintegrated, but most found it fascinating and very drinkable.

the 18 months in the barrel have taken some funk from the Paranubes but fortunately not too much. less herbal, less mezcal for more pear, honey, anise, chamomile and papaya on the nose and very round and pleasant. then in the taste baked honey banana with crispy bacon and some pecan, plus young wood and pears baked in maple syrup with salted peanut butter on brioche toast. very very tasty, brutally quaffable and mega exciting!!🤤💥🥂😍 I'd really like a bottle of this!!! Has what of an extremely good Anejo overproof tequila. Grandiose substance.

My first rum from Mexico. Nose: you can clearly tell that it is still quite young. It has a lot of the unripe, young wild ones, like Clairin or El Ampero. Fermented fruit with lots of green. In this case honeydew melon, banana and green papaya. There is also some tart bergamot and vinegar-infused artichoke. A honey sweetness rounds off at the back. Not bad at all. 8.1 Palate: very fresh and fruity-spicy. You can really taste the tequila barrel. Gives the rum an interesting kick. A little salty and slightly peppery, with a distinct lemon zest and something that goes in the direction of soap. Yes, it's soap... not bad, but clear. It has a lot to offer for such a young rum. Too floral and impetuous for me, but good to have tried it. 7,7

Finally! First rum after 3 weeks🤪 And this one is a strange one, but good! Fruity, floral, fresh, chocolate, mezcal and a lot of salt and bacon 🫨🫨 The alcohol isn’t integrated well, but at the end you’ll get what your ordered (no 40%) 🤓

Sooo... This was something different. Still a rum? I had to check. First sip strongly Reminded me of a dry spirit of yellow gentian, my wife once brought home as something special. Very herbal. This is definitely not a standard Agricole, and one can find parallels. Enjoyable because it is different, but not for the occasional sip.

Really cool rum ... not the usual flavor spectrum but very tasty and fully my taste. A bit of mezcal, lots of fermented fruit and just the right amount of wood. Stands with me from the feeling on the shelf between stored Mhobas and stored Clairins. Not everyone's cup of tea but I wish for more.

Drinks like a young agricole. Rather light notes, none stand out too strongly though. I could see myself enjoying a glass from time to time but wouldn’t purchase bottle.

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.
