How does this rum taste?
RumX members agree this Guyana Versailles VSG from Cave Guildive leans into a deep combo of leather, prunes, molasses, and dark chocolate. The nose is "sehr intensiv" (@Timo Groeger), while the taste evokes layers of roasted malt, bittersweet caramel, and even hints of buttery spice. Age is felt strongly—“chutná starší než je” (@Martin Švojgr)—with balanced oak and sweet undertones. There’s a complex, slightly sweet, and well-integrated character, appealing to both Versailles loyalists and those who want a less herbal profile.

Tasting at J. B. Labat. A full nose of nutty butter, molasses, young leather, prunes and spices. Heavy, dark aromas on the palate with molasses, brown sugar and bitter caramel. The aromas tend to evolve on the palate, which is very interesting, as the bitterness and spice strengthen and disappear in turn. The finish is long but too one-dimensional, with bitter coffee and heavy but not overpowering oak. A very fine release from the Guildive cellar.
