    "Nice profile, dried fruit, toasty, caramel, vanilla, baking spice, bourbon, slight menthol freshness. Somewhat reminiscent of Ten Cane or TDL. Toasty on the palate, dark chocolate, barrel, and bourbon again! Class rum from the Lone Star State!"

    "Rum X Advent 6.12.22Overall a great surprise. Full bomb bourbon with chocolate and roasted flavors. Intense and nice depth of flavor, first thought something tropical aged. For me, some points deduction because of the alcohol involvement."

    "#6th dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Chocolate, spicy, dried currants, cinnamon, nutty Palate: spicy, dried currants, cinnamon, roasted nuts, minty The finish is (unfortunately) a bit short with notes of cinnamon, minty, green apples, dried currants. Like a bit winterly Ooh it’s from Texas 😎 Really lovely rum with a nice hint of freh mint. My Prediction: Belize Approx. 55% Approx. 5 years of aging"

    "Newly presented at the BCB Berlin. Extremely harmonious and complex! A blend of green apple, cinnamony winter baked apple, grape or cassis jelly, citrus peel and green tea with fresh mint, plus some leather, burnt sugar and toasted wood and bourbon. Very tasty and alcohol content is chosen just right."
