    How does this rum taste?

    RumX reviewers love this cask-strength Demerara for its balance and seamlessly integrated 53.4% ABV. Expect smoky oak and eucalyptus lifted by citrus and vanilla, with tea, pencil-shaving and light fruity-floral touches. The palate runs dry and woody yet remains nuanced, making it a satisfying neat pour—and even a fine cigar partner. With 53 community reviews and only 240 bottles, it’s a popular, confident choice.

    Un nez directement très beurré, gras, avec de belles larmes qui accrochent au verre. Du thé vert, du citron, de la cardamone. Un jus de fruits frais exotique, sur la carambole et la pomme cannelle, presque confituré qui se traduit par une impression de baba au rhum avec des fruits secs & confits. La note métallique de ce viel alambic légendaire est présente tout comme le boisé mouillé d'une vieille barque à moteur. Une excellente intégration des 53.4%. En bouche, les mêmes fruits qu'au nez. Puis, une sensation de chaleur vive sur le thé à la citronnelle et à l'eucalyptus. Du sucre roux au chocolat au lait aussi, légèrement parfumé de vanille, on est pas loin de l'odeur de la croûte d'un cannelé bordelais. J'ai aussi de la purée de noix de cajou grillées, des épices poivrées et salées, du thé noir, le goût umami pas loin avec une légère olive saumurée. Un boisé légèrement fumé fini la bouche avec une petite astringence. J'ai vraiment apprecié ce genre de profil qui mélange sucré/salé, fruité/herbacé, boisé/fumé. Une belle sélection.

    Very progressive. On the nose as on the palate, its profile changes a lot with time. I thought I'd be disappointed on first taste, but in the end I was not. A skilful blend of fruit, wood, smoke and pepper. Nothing imposes itself, everything integrates. The alcohol is perfectly integrated. A very good wine.

    Once again, a very nice release from swell 🤩Pure regale beautiful length, bewitching fragrance... superb 🤩

    Finde den 95er sehr ähnlich zum 97er von The Rum Cask. Schöne Teenoten mit Frucht. Alkohol sehr gut eingebunden. Im Abgang etwas mehr Holz, aber auch noch weit weg von dem Fasseinfluss der noch älteren Abfüllungen.
