How does this rum taste?
RumX members love the classic Caroni markers balanced by a round, almost creamy feel and menthol freshness. Tar, candied fruits and a smoky, caramelized nose lead to oak, tobacco, vanilla and light yellow fruits. Alcohol is very well integrated, with a long, persistent finish. Distilled in 1998, aged 22 years at 60% ABV, this limited 230-bottle release is well rated by 14 reviewers.

8,9:On the nose, tar and rubber, menthol, smoky, roasted wood notes, oaky, caramelized, roasted nuts, tropical and candied fruits, bump into our nosetrils. On oxidation, confectionery with gingerbread, yellow fruits and orange arise, round at first slight dullness. 9,2:On the palate, the attack is delicious, balanced with charred wood notes, oaky, but buttery with butterscotch, sweet, industrial notes like rubber and tar, some menthol, yellow and tropical fruits.On aeration briny olive arises and some tobacco. 9:The finish is long, round, creamy, as charred wood notes pair industrial notes and dried fruits..
