Fresh lime and orange peel lead a herbal, sugarcane-driven palate with light wood and spice. Reviewers say it improves after airing, though some note youthful bitterness and prickly alcohol.

    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its bright citrus—lime and orange peel—over a herbal, sugarcane core that feels fresh and distinctly Bologne. At 54.9% cask strength, it shows good balance with light wood, spice and a medium, herbal finish. Several note it opens with time in the glass. A limited run of 1000 bottles, and while some find the alcohol a bit sharp and the value debated, many enjoy its green agricole character.

    Fresh, yet quite expressive. Unfortunately, on the palate with a little alcoholic sting.

    A roundup of citrus and a mixture of herbs and plant part that reminds me much more of a white than an aged rum!You can feel all the Bologne cane here!I just would have liked a little more complexity!

    Relativ Alkoholisch in der Nase wie auch am Gaumen. Zitrusfrüchte und deutlich Florale Noten ...leichte Würze und Schokolade. Alles in allem ganz ok aber irgendwie holt der mich nicht ab ... nichts was besonders in Erinnerung bleibt.

    #4477 18.11.2023 This one is very smooth and elegant compared to the others. Really good balance. Medium fruity with roasted wood and light spices. The palate is smooth and fresh with wood/tannins without it taking over. The finish is medium long and herbal with light orange. Would have loved a bit more "kapow".
