How does this rum taste?
RumX members love this rum’s explosive fruity esters—gluey varnish giving way to peach, mango and overripe pineapple after aeration. The palate is oily and spicy with woody-caramel depth, plus nutty, leather and tobacco touches. Distilled at Diamond in 2014 and bottled at 53.6%, it’s a rising favorite with 25 reviews. Some note a short, drying finish or firm alcohol, but the evolving fruit character makes it stand out.

So I had to try it right away after I saw that Kevin had given it a 9. A little too high for me personally. After a longer (unwanted) time in the glass, he had developed really well again.
A bold, flavoursome ester bomb: medicinal, overripe tropical fruit, but also wood, nuts, leather, tobacco, spice and citrus. 85 points Nose: varnish, nailpolish remover, glue, pencil shavings, putty, overripe pineapple, olive, new wood. Screams for aeriation. Upon aeriation, dark notes of leather pop up, plus cooked plum, peach, white tobacco. Palate: very oily, yet certainly with a good dose of esters. Still glue and varnish, overripe pineapple. Now also nuts, and then leather, oak, a bit of brine, allspice. Finish: drying, clove, ginger, with the same ester-like profile, an acidic note of citrus which I really like.
Northern Lights Meeting 07/25: Nose very fruity but also sticky. Taste is strongly fruity. Good spice and nice alcohol. In the mouth then very spicy, some tobacco; but quite one-dimensional. Finish rather short.
