    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members highlight its easy-drinking, grape-forward profile with vanilla and oak. Aromas of wood, caramel and dried fruit lead to a dry, peppery palate and a smooth finish. Some note it lacks power or shows sharp acidity, so a little air can help. With 59 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, this Mauritian cane-juice VSOP is a popular sipper for those who like cognac-leaning notes.

    It’s too little of everything to really catch me. Weak aromas of fruit, wood, vanilla, butterscotch and herbs. At the palate the aromas is there as flavors with an ok balance between dryness and sweetness.

    The nose is initially woody. Vanilla too. Not crazy. On the palate, wood dominates and then a bitterness mixed with acidity takes over. Grape or cognac barrel, I think. Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well. Very different from the XO, which I rather liked. And clearly a step below.

    Gar nicht so mein Ding, da für das Alter noch viel zu unausgewogen und ruppig. Der Alkohol ist dominant, das ganze Destillat schmeckt medizinisch und unfertig.
