    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members rave about the near‑perfect integration of its 60.3% ABV and the depth achieved from its 1980 Damoiseau origins. Prunes, leather and licorice meet dark chocolate and barrel on the nose; the palate layers dried fruit, coffee and oak with a very long, dry finish. Many let it breathe and sip neat, often for special occasions. Highly rated by 88 reviewers, buyer confidence is strong.

    You will smell a lot of lovely notes of leather, banana, pineapple, prunes, prunes… all of them you‘ll find in the mouth too. The alcohol and also the wood is integrated very well! The finish is long, dry with a dominant taste o mocha.. lie behind and enjoy! Update: After ca. 30 minutes of rest the rum open up completely. A bit more smell of the barrel, honey, cedar wood. It mouth there is less spice and more fruity/floral. There are so many different tastes 😍 Amazing experience. Unfortunately it’s to expensive now…

    Fantastic rum. Excellent flavor profile. The rum has almost everything 🤤wonderful complexity, a top alcohol integration, long finish, drinking strength I find opitmal in view of the fullness that the rum reveals. Rightly deserves its reputation imo.

    On the nose, honey, vanilla, licorice, fused with a beautiful floral note.Really gets going in the mouth. Caramel, lots of wood, spices. Fat and oily.An epic finish follows...A great rum!

    Concentrated, creamy, delicious. Exceptional!
