    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its classic agricole character—grassy sugarcane with vanilla and spice—framed by gentle oak. The nose is subtle and rewarding with time, and many note hints of dark chocolate, honeyed sweetness and orange. Smooth and relaxed at 45%, it’s often enjoyed neat. A popular choice with 55 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, this limited 4,997-bottle release is an elegant Guadeloupean sip.

    It’s a nice, smooth, subtle and complex Agricole from nose via palate to the medium long finish. The nose have recognizable aromas of spices, vanilla, oak and fruits. At the palate and during the medium long finish the aromas comes back as flavors.

    #13 RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: vanilla, grass, sugarcane, young wood M: earty, grass, agricole, floral, dark chocolate F: oak, vanilla, black tea, soft Prediction: this one is tricky classic sugarcane in the nose, but an agricole feeling in the mouth…i would go with an rum from guatemala, or near! approx. 50%, it‘s a young rum max. 10years…. Quick a good rum, but lacks at the finish. Alcohol is intergrated very well. Nose: sugarcane, vanilla, grass, young wood Mouth: Dry, creamy, delicious, grass, agricole, earthy, dark chocolate, cherry, vanilla, young wood Finish: short, dry, soft, earthy, herbal, vegetal, black tea, young wood, vanilla

    Frankly, I am amazed at this original bottling. This is how I think a standard bottling should be. Has this nice karukera chocolate and oak combination. Some bitterness and some ester. Compared to some indie bottlings that are considerably more expensive this is an absolute win!

    Un karukera sympa, un nez de vanille, bois et épices. En bouche, on trouve un côté herbasé sucré, sur un fond de chêne. Dommage que la fin ne soit pas plus longue et complexe. Seconde dégustion : encore ce nez de vanille , bois….. par contre, cette fois en bouche, b y trouve un peu plus de goût de fût et un rhum ou l alcool y est moyennement intégré…./ c est bon malgré tout !
