    How does this rum taste?

    The Bologne XO Rum is crafted in Guadeloupe, distilled from sugarcane juice in a column still and aged for six years to achieve its exquisite character. Featuring a 42% ABV, this rum is renowned for its woody and vanilla scents, complemented by hints of sugarcane, honey, and spice. On the palate, it reveals a complex array of flavors, including wood, tropical fruit, vanilla, and floral notes, reminiscent of fine whiskey. While its finish is smooth and elegant, some users find the initial aroma less pronounced. Ultimately, this rum is praised for its balance, complexity, and resemblance to refined liquor, making it a prized addition to any connoisseur's shelf.

    A great Rhum that’s very smooth and elegant on the palate and during the finish. The only negative is that the nose is a little weak. The nose is spicy and woody with aromas of sugarcane. At the palate and during the rather long finish it’s also spicy and woody but also floral, complex and very smooth with flavors of dried fruit.

    This is a really nice and very complex rum and I'm happy having it on my shelf. The nose is sweet (honey) and a bit alcoholic with spices and orange topped with cocoa/chocolate and wood. The palate is well balanced and complex, fruity with spices and oak. There is a slight floral not there as well. The finish is long and fruity with vanilla and oak.

    Wahnsinnig komplexer Rum, der mich ein bisschen an Whisky erinnert. Nichts für den Alltag.

    Sehr lecker! Ich mag das schwere und röstige Profil sehr. Die Trinkstärke steht ihm gut.
