How does this rum taste?
Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 54 leans into sweet vanilla and cardamom spice, with pronounced sugarcane and flashes of green apple—a character RumX drinkers call both surprisingly fruity and chai-like. The 64.3% ABV gets high marks for subtlety: "Der Alkohol ist wirklich gut eingebunden" (@GuybrushThreepwood), echoed by FischeJ who notes, "Die 64,3% ABV merkt man gar nicht." Cinnamon, clove, and a touch of acidity round out the palate, while some pick up gentle grassiness and wood. The spirit is described as evolving, from "süß duftender Auftakt" to a lingering, dry-spicy finish; underlying comparisons to Agricole styles, but with its own Ghana twist.

Subtly fruity on the nose (light fruit), becoming sweeter and more palatable on the palate. One should not be misled by the initial unimpressiveness. Smoky and woody on the finish. Not the crusher like the Nanny or the Cudjoe, rather sweeter and more pleasing and not recognizable as Ghanaian from the outside. What really stands out is the incredibly good integration of the alcohol. I didn't want to give the rum 80 points at first, but fortunately I was patient enough and it is becoming more and more appealing.
Sweet, fragrant start with vanilla, honey and citrus fruits. On the palate you immediately recognize the sweetness with a little punch, which then transforms into fruit and spice with a pleasant play of acidity. The finish is very pleasant, you don't notice the 64% at all. I'm looking forward to more older bottlings from Ghana. Many thanks for the sample
Nach Nanny und Cudjoe mit Jamaika Einfluss diesmal ein "reiner" Rum aus Ghana. Schöne Zitrusfrüchte in der Nase, es wirkt relativ smooth. Am Gaumen fruchtig würzig, auch hier relativ entspannt und weit entfernt vom doch brachialen Nanny Blends. Schöne Abfüllung.
First nose very spicy. Reminds me directly of a chai. Briefly went into the kitchen and smelled the chai. Yes. There are similarities. Cinnamon, cardamom, clove. After a while, some lime zest and sugar cane aromas join in. With more time and air, I also got something like pencil shavings and possibly tonka bean? I had the latter in a bottling from Amburana Wood a while ago. It warms the mouth immediately and salivation sets in straight away. The fireworks of spices continue and I'm reminded of chai again. The alcohol is really well integrated. Doesn't taste like well over 60% ABV. Blindly I would have guessed early to mid 50%. The "relationship" to a (briefly) matured Agricole is recognizable, but it's a different world. The finish is long, spicy, dry and a little peppery. In addition to the previous notes, there is now a hint of aniseed or something similar.
