How does this rum taste?
RumX tasters land again and again on banana, vanilla, and caramel, with an undercurrent of chocolate and some fruitiness—"nice feel of chocolate banana” says DomM, while the Worthy Park element often takes the lead: "Jasně znatelná vůně Worthy Park" (@Martin Ekrt). There's a lingering sweetness throughout, with more than one member calling it "sehr süß, aber auf angenehme dezente Weise" (@Leo Krüper), and some tropical notes poking through. St. Lucia's contribution is subtle, mostly coaxing extra smoothness and "light wood" into the mix, but the finish stays light and never overpowers.

A rum tasted at the GRF in 2024, S.B.S. Masterclass. A nose of tropical fruit with caramel and young wood. The palate is very (too?) sweet, but the fruit is there too. The finish is short and sweet. A cross between a WP (Worthy Park) and a SLD (Santa Lucia), rather weak in flavor and sweet but interesting nonetheless.
Unfortunately I missed it at the GRF because S.B.S didn't have enough bottles, so I got myself a sample. Interesting blend that doesn't really pick me up personally, nice to have tried.
In the nose I‘d say we are looking at Worthy Park, which is dominating the profile. There are some additional chocolate and caramel notes which might come from the Chairman’s component. However for me those are complementing rather than taking center stage. On the palate, both components of the blend act more as equals. I get a lot of cacoa and chocolate notes as well as toffee and some sweetness. There are still some WP fruits and spices. Alcohol isn’t perfectly integrated in the mix but reasonably for the ABV level. All in all I quite like it. Not the most complex blend but it gives a nice feel of „chocolate banana“ throughout the tasting.

Finish Medium to long, light dry, fruits, wood, light tannins, cinnamon, dried fruit. Empty glass Vanilla, faint chocolate, light earthy, light berries. Needs to rest for a while to really open up properly or you add a few drops of water.
