    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the woody, vanilla-and-spice profile that feels warm yet easygoing. The nose brings oak, dried fruit and a hint of chocolate; the palate stays woody, peppery and agricole with soft sweetness. Often enjoyed neat, with a cigar or dark chocolate, and also works in ti-punch or cocktails. With around 120 community reviews and strong buyer confidence, it's a solid, good-value VSOP many reach for.

    Excellente impression dès le nez avec des notes vanilles toastés, caramélisé et un aspect boisé élégant. On retrouve en bouche toutes ces notes de dessert vanillés et de caramel avec une belle finesse. L’alcool est présent mais bien intégré il n’est pas mou et pas du tout agressif. En finale on garde ce côté boisé torréfié avec l’arrière goût d’un café bien torréfié. La salive monte et on a envie d’y replonger!

    Finition fût de bourbon, finish en chêne français. Très boisé.

    We had a go at several HSE today and I'm a bit tipsy from it.

    A very pleasant VSOP rum. Woody, spicy and fruity notes blend well together. The palate continues in the same vein, very supple and smooth. The same spicy, fruity and woody notes return on the finish. A good reference for VSOPs.
