    How does this rum taste?

    Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 50, a 34-year-old Versailles from Spirit of Rum, balances woody pencil shavings, marzipan, yellow and dried fruits, and a subtle nuttiness. Many note lingering “mineralische Noten, gelbe Früchte” (@Michael Schillheim), with a prominent “Bleistift, Kräuter, Marzipan, gelbe Früchte” (@Johannes). Spice, restrained wood, and a touch of salinity round out the profile, given time in the glass. While “definitiv kein easy Sipper” (@zabo), patience is often rewarded with evolving complexity and a “sehr elegant und eher fruchtig” (@Andi) experience.

    A nice combination of different fruit notes Unfortunately lacks some color and wood flavor which would be normal for this age But otherwise highly recommended Find one of the best Guyana ever

    I love these bright 90s Versailles fruit bombs. For me, the younger bottlings from OurRum&Spirits and Rum Artesanal are already enormously strong with 8.9, but the new RumClub is aromatically a league above - (I assume due to the significantly longer barrel maturation). The rum is very full-bodied and intense, you can almost chew it, incredibly smooth with perfectly integrated alcohol and an almost never-ending finish. An absolute highlight for me personally

    I was very pleasantly surprised by the new bottling. I would have expected bitterness and a lot of wood due to its age. However, both on the nose and on the palate it is very elegant and rather fruity, pleasantly sweet, balanced, a hint of marzipan, nutty, yellow fruits and full-bodied, with a plum/raisin note, which is very subtle and even after the second glass I couldn't work out for myself whether it was plum or raisin. In any case, I like this note. The alcohol is sensationally integrated. An excellent bottling for me personally, if you have the opportunity, definitely try it.

    Superbe! Déjà le fait que ce nectar a été distillé dans un alambic légendaire de Versailles cela attise la curiosité … au nez les fruits jaune la pâte d’amande qu’on retrouve en bouche avec un léger boisé c’est très agréable ! Un 34 yo en plus c’est top
