Cask strength appeal
RumX community voice

Bold yet nuanced agricole: wood, vanilla and spice over sugarcane, with fruit emerging on the palate and a long finish. Some find the alcohol assertive, but complexity wins many over.

    a very hilarious piece 👍

    Mélange de puissance car jeune (18mois de mémoire) et de boisé (double passage en fut neuf si je dit pas de bêtise), assez atypique ! Un vrai bon rapport qualité prix pour amateurs aux palais rodés.

    Un rhum vif par son degré d’alcool mais très bien réalisé avec beaucoup de subtilité. Les 60° ne sont pas agressifs en bouche. La complexité est très agréable.

    #4649 09.03.2024 relaxing at home with some nice samples from a good friend. Nose Wood, light roasted, plum, dried fruit, spices, sugarcane, floral. Palate Wood, light roasted, spices, intense, medium dry, plum, fruity, faint chocolate, floral. Finish Medium to long, wood, prunes, floral, light chocolate, light coffee. ABV is pretty well integrated and the rum needs to rest. The empty glass has some citrus and sugarcane.
