    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this 37-year-old Long Pond for its smooth, easy-sipping character and vibrant nose of tropical fruit and mango with a buttery, spicy edge. On the palate, expect vanilla, roasted barrel tones and burnt-sugar sweetness, balanced by gentle wood. Many enjoy it neat for its elegance, though a few note a thinner body and lower punch at 49.5%. A popular pick with 51 community reviews.

    Sehr elegante Holz- und Fruchtnoten. Extrem angenehm am Gaumen. Einfach lecker. Die „niedrigen“ Prozent tun der Intensität des Rums nichts ab. Ester sind nicht direkt präsent, erst nach einer Weile im Glas entfalten sie sich.

    Premier rhum de ce type pour moi, je n'ai pas encore goûté de référence qui me permettent de le comparer. Dans tous les cas ça été une bonne expérience et je l'ai trouvé vraiment très bon. Tout passait très bien.

    Super edler Tropfen, süßlich aber nicht zu aufdringlich, wird immer fruchtiger im Glas, Rosinen, trocken Früchte. Echt super starker Tropfen.

    Geiler Stoff und leider hier ziemlich unterbewertet.
