How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this approachable St. Lucia sipper for its fruity sweetness and honeyed vanilla wrapped in gentle oak. Aged 15 years and bottled at 40%, it offers woody spice, touches of raisin and a hint of mint on the nose. Often enjoyed neat or on the rocks, with some even mixing. While a few find it too sweet or a bit watered down, it remains a popular, easygoing choice.

I'm Oliver – together with Jakob, Robert, and Lukas, we started RumX in 2018 as a small passion project in Stuttgart, back then under the name Rum Tasting Notes.
What began as a digital tasting diary is now the world's most comprehensive platform for rum fans: over 24,000 bottlings, 250,000+ independent reviews, and an active community with 47,000 members. We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, allowing you to shop securely and manage your collection directly from the app.
The goal? To offer you, the rum connoisseur, a place where you can choose with confidence—without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
8:On the nose of this rum first impression goes towards the acidity that penetrates first, with fresh but fleshy fruits, a little burst, with a protruding core. Despite a body that we guess is rather light, the rum seduces relentlessly, tirelessly. It is therefore a feeling of concentration that we also perceive quite quickly, with a gently spicy spring honey and an elegant woodiness. As with a perfume, the nose evolves with the air and time. This comparison is not innocent because the rum gains in elegance and refinement. The fruits are certainly quite pushy, but they have been carefully chosen and are presented in a fine tobacco case. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is as with Barbados rums, we can count on a melted and tasty woodiness, with caramel, vanilla and tobacco that spread generously. This mouth does not lack softness, even if we do not feel any sweet sensation. We could rather speak of something honeyed, even a little milky, like an egg custard. The mid-palate raises the level a notch with a handful of well-melted spices that now enhance a more frankly woody rum, with accents of stone fruits in brandy, as the rum is quite strongly dry. 7,8:The finish maintains the complexity and elegance, the palate notes linger on, enveloping everything and closing the experience with a lovely peppery veil..
Sehr seltsam
In my view great rum with typical heaviness is cut by some freshness as well. Quite complex and very pleasant
Rhum sans intérêt pour moi.
