    How does this rum taste?

    • Complex dried and tropical fruit notes
    • Bold roasted and smoky flavors
    • Excellent value for limited edition

    Intense dried fruit and roasted notes leap out first, with RumX tasters praising the deep interplay of smoky barrel, burnt sugar, and vivid tropical fruit. Complex layers of spice, citrus peel, and a touch of earthiness add intrigue, while the bold ABV brings lasting warmth. For those after powerful, balanced rums with a hint of smoky edge, this is worth discovering.

    "Yummy 😋 😋 this is powerful, kicks a punch and I really really like it! It has some similarities in intensity and heaviness to the Grand Arome - Plantation Reunion Rye Whiskey, that I also like, but this is less sweet and much better balanced and has a much much higher quality over all. The intensity is not for all and it’s certainly not a beginners rum, but I enjoy this immensely. So happy that I now got a couple of bottles of this rum as it’s getting hard to get hold of. - Getting back to this bottle every other month and… yummy 😋 - This time tasting with some rum nerds and it’s really really nice."

    "St. Lucia can be very diverse: sometimes towards Barbados, sometimes towards Jamaica or even some Guyana - this one is more Jamaican.The nose is still a bit closed, very balanced between fruit, herbs and spices. Even after hours in the glass, this isn't quite the big explosion, but in the mouth it's great cinema This is the Chairman's with the best mouthfeel I've tasted so far - very fruity and fantastic alcohol integration. Besides the overripe tropical fruit, ginger and fresh herbaceous menthol notes.Compared to the GotA a bit juicier and not as extremely dry. As with the GotA, I get strong Clarendon vibes - I mean that as a compliment 😉.The finish is surprisingly dark with coffee (chewing beans) as the lead note, then menthol and herbs. Top!"

    "The claps so right in and pushes you well forward! 🤣 extremely intense and long lasting. horny number and unusually smoky almost after fresh street tar a la Caroni along with dark caramel and dark chocolate like Werthers best one smoked over the road, then some dates and sea salt, as well as dried apricots and leather. Very very tasty and balanced although I don't really like it that smoky. But the really fun!"

    "Un nez où l’alcool domine et il faut chercher en second plan les arômes de vieux bois verni et les fruits tropicaux trop mûrs. La bouche part en douceur, puis un alcool chaleureux saturé de vieux bois avec des fruits en arrière-plan prend le relais. La finale est plutôt courte, même si un arôme de caramel un peu trop amer persiste très longtemps. Pas ma meilleure expérience de rhum de Sainte Lucie. Un rhum où l’alcool est nettement trop présent à mon goût. Verre vide ça s’améliore nettement."
