Domaine de Séverin XO

Woody, spicy, hints of vanilla. Simple enjoyment.

Domaine de Séverin XO offers a woody and spicy profile with vanilla notes. Its long, dry finish is enjoyed, though it lacks the complexity of top agricoles.

    How does this rum taste?

    Pleasant woody and spicy profile
    Long and dry finish
    Distinct vanilla notes

    The Domaine de Séverin XO is a Guadeloupe rum distilled from sugar cane juice with a column still and aged for six years. With an ABV of 45%, it presents a pronounced woody and spicy character, accompanied by notes of vanilla and oak. Users commend its fruity undertones and appreciate its long, dry finish. However, some find it slightly lacking in complexity and distinctive identity compared to other agricole rums. The rum's nose features vanilla, woody, and prune notes, reminiscent of cognac, while its palate highlights woody and spicy flavors with hints of banana. Overall, it's considered a pleasant sipping rum with a few polarizing characteristics.

     I’m a fan of Agricole from Guadeloupe and this one is not an exception, but it can’t compete with the best ones. The nose is fruity and woody with scents of banana, citrus and vanilla. At the palate it’s sweet, fruity, spicy, woody, fresh and round with flavors of banana, citrus and vanilla. The finish is quite long, dry and spicy.

     Original impressions from 2017 rum calendar. Nose: ** Taste: * Overall: ** ”45% Guadeloupe” Having tried this again there is a strong tobacco/leathery scent on the nose along with some vanilla, banana and an alcoholic resemblance to cognac. The nose is better than the palate, here I only get the smoky woody taste and none of the fruity flavours the nose hinted at.

     Un de meilleurs rqp du marché. La rondeur d'un xo tout en laissant la canne s'exprimer. C'est le nouvel embouteillage (depuis la fermeture de la distillerie) mais il reste très similaire à l'ancien que j'avais adoré. A l'odeur du bonbon et pâtisseries. En bouche les épices et les fruits se font plus présents avec la vanille, le cafe, les fruits jaunes et le melon. Le tout avec un bois trés fin. Pas de fausse note sans pour autant en faire un rhum d'exception.

     Ein sehr schöner Rum, gefällt mir. Ist in der Nase überwiegend holzig und nach Fass riechend, aber auch etwas Vanille lässt sich erkennen. Am Gaumen irgendwie ein dunkler Rum, Holz, sowie würzig und rauchig, aber auch dunkle Schokolade ist erkennbar.
