How does this rum taste?
On the nose, the Islay cask finish leads, pushing out earthy smoke, peat, and woody touches. Drinkers agree the smoky, peaty influence is impossible to miss—"very prominent Islay finish. It's okay but not mindblowing" (@Rowald Sweet Empire). For some, this whisky-forward character works, but others feel "il emporte tout et ne laisse que de places aux fruits d'habitude si agréables" (@Vincent D). There's just enough citrus and subtle fruit in the background to add some lift, but the peat and smoke are the stars.

#4955 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Light wood, faint caramel, light smoke, faint peat, light citrus, light orange, faint chocolate. Palate Round, light wood, faint smoke, light peat, light earthy, spice, light orange, light salty. Finish Medium to long, light wood, light peat, faint smoke, light salty, fruits, spice.
Goûté lors du RhumFest Paris 2025 après le 2008 et le finish Rozelieure. Et c'est le moins réussi à mon sens. J'aime le whisky tourbé mais ici il emporte tout et ne laisse que de places aux fruits d'habitude si agréables chez new grove. Dommage.
Very prominent Islay finish. It's okay but not mindblowing. Cool if you like peated whisky though
fruit and earthiness, of the three Savoir Faire I like the least
