    How does this rum taste?

    The "7 Golden Blend" rum, independently bottled by Banks, is a unique blend from multiple nations, distilled using both pot and column stills. With a 43% ABV, it features a complex aroma profile dominated by woody notes, dried figs, and bourbon. The taste is characterized by oak, spicy, and slightly bitter elements, with hints of leather and a robust intensity. This rum is praised for its Demerara flavors and cocktail mixing potential, especially in haute cocktail settings. While it garners diverse user ratings, it is consistently recognized for its value and complexity, especially as a mixer. However, some find it less compelling as a sipper.

    I’m going through my cocktail rums and this is one of my more recent acquisitions. It’s one of the go-to rum for haute cocktail bar Death & Company and I can see why. Great price, surprisingly complex flavor from the mix of 7 nation sources (mostly english style). Highly recommended assuming you can get it for under 30 euros. Not terrible as a sipper but straight up great as a cocktail rum.

    The nose is rather round with notes of tropical fruits and roasted coffee. The palate is much more spice dominant with some lingering fruits but more European then tropical. The finish is medium in length. With woody tannins and dried fruits and a cocoa note. Overall this is a very nice rum and much better than expected. An interesting taste with the Indonesian arrack very much visible.

    quite alright, the nose promises a lot. the taste is a bit boring. the Banks 5 can definitely do more here.
