How does this rum taste?
Most love its wild New Yarmouth esters, tropical fruit and clever virgin oak aging. Critics find it young, hot and not very nuanced. Consensus: a powerful, fun, great‑value funk bomb.
If you like bold New Yarmouth or Hampden funk at high strength, this takes that profile and layers on virgin‑oak marzipan and spice—great fun if you’re ready for something wild, not gentle.
Newcomers, those sensitive to high ABV, or drinkers wanting soft, rounded sweetness; the combination of 62.6% alcohol, esters and young wood can feel sharp and exhausting.

26.07.2025 Retasting and I still like it a lot. -------------- #5086 Saturday 24.01.2025 - 26.01.2025 A nice weekend in my sisters summerhouse with old friends and colleagues tasting a lot of rums. I can only recommend like we did, no phones allowed and then only music in the background 😊 Colour Dark to very dark in colour. Nose Wood, ester, fruity, overripe, light polish, banana, light pineapple, spice. Palate Wood, medium dry, warm, ester, fruity, overripe, banana, light citrus, faint chocolate, faint floral. Finish Long and warm, fruity, wood, banana, light glue, light citrus. Empty glass Light sour, wood, vanilla, light chocolate, light pineapple.
Würzige Ester, so würde ich den Rum beschreiben. Das Virgin Oak hat hervorragende Arbeit geleistet, was wirklich hervorzuheben ist, denn die Lagerung in einem solchen Fass kann auch schnell fürchterlich schiefgehen. Hier aber ist meines Erachtens genau zum richtigen Zeitpunkt abgefüllt worden. Auch im Mai Tai zusammen mit dem Red Barrel äußerst lecker. Für mich die positive Überraschung des Präsentationsabends von Ed. 49 und 50 des Rumclubs. Ich prophezeie: Der Rum wird weggehen wie warme Semmeln (German saying). Update 2025-02-27: Nochmals in Ruhe verkostet und den ersten Eindruck vor drei Monaten bestätigt. Toller Rum!
Wieder einmal hat RC ordentlich abgeliefert! Chapeau! Ein toller Rum, wo das Virgin Oak Fass zeigt was es kann! Sehr gut zum Mixen in Cocktails (MaiTai 😎🤪). Klarerweise auch pur geniesbar, jedoch kein Easy sipper 😉😬
Edit: von mal zu mal schmeckt er mir im MaiTai besser. Nach oben korrigiert So endlich doch mal das Sample verkostet. Ja es ist ein New Yarmouth nicht zu leugnen. Jedoch sehr jung, wild und alkoholisch. Im Nachhinein betrachtet ein wenig zu überbewertet für mich. Pur sehr ungestüm. Als Mixer ganz nice, aber wenn man den Preis auf 0,7l hochrechnet eher Mittelfeld und nicht der Mega Schnapper
