How does this rum taste?
Subtle, grassy agricole for relaxed sipping
If you enjoy softer agricoles like mellow Longueteau or Saint James, this gives you similar grassy-woody character in an easy 45% package, just don’t expect big power or a huge finish.

Very Delicious
Très bon (marqueur bielle assez perturbant)! Par contre 45° trop peu, suffit qu’on le laisse un peu trop longtemps pour que ça passe d’un très bon rhum à quelque chose de « classique ».
I‘m getting intense cherry notes with this one. A little low on ABV, doesn’t feel too much watered down however. Quite nice.
RumX Advent calendar, 13.12.2021, blind. First impression on the nose tells me something with red wine, possibly a finish? Otherwise hay, candied orange peel and fruit bread, among other things. Smells quite sweet. Also sweet on the palate at first, but then suddenly turns dry. Unfortunately a little thin. I would guess that this is a rum made from sugar cane juice, approx. 45%. The late palate and finish are surprisingly floral with notes of violets. Good, but unfortunately too thin, otherwise even more exciting.
