    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this wood-forward, cask-strength 2009 for its complexity and long, warming finish. Expect caramel, vanilla and dried apricot on the nose, then peppery spice, a salty lick and hints of licorice. Several note an oily, well-balanced palate with dried fruit and chocolate accents. It’s a popular pick with 61 reviews and strong buyer confidence; many suggest a drop of water to tame the 66.9%.

    18.11.2023 Another retasting and I stick to my initial score ☺️ --------- Price to quality is very good on this particular rum. The nose is fruity with pastries, spices trailed by llightly roasted wood and caramel. Almost like walking into a bakery on a Sunday morning. The palate is oily and well balanced between the wood, fruits and spices. The finish is long, warm and lightly dry with wood, spices and dried fruit.

    Yes, the alcohol is already pulling properly. In the foreground a woody-spicy nose with dried apricot and some sulfur, reminiscent of sherry. In addition, some blackberry and cherry. But above that spicy wood, cedar and leather. Adds a chocolate note and some green sugar cane.Alcohol is also very present on the palate at the start. Comes salty-bitter with decent pepper, nutmeg and bitter orange. Licorice at the back and increasingly grassy.The finish remains bitter and grassy. At the end, the sugar cane also comes through.Too bad that the alcohol is not so well integrated.

    Caramel blackberry chocolate vanilla brownies on the nose with roasted nuts on the nose, taste then surprisingly quaffable and not too alcoholic for the young age and just under 67%. sweet, bitter and salty at the same time with notes of mocha, fruit bread and lots of spices. very tasty.

    It's the wood that comes first in this rum, with a Souffre note that I find a lot in aged high proofs. It's almost like a fresh plank.
