Super wacky stuff. Feels like a Calvados on steroids with a good dose of ester and funk. Cinnamon, yellow stone fruit, fully ripe Williams pear, fermented mirabelle plum, bacon and incense, peach caramelized in butter. For >70% and on an empty stomach, this thing is outrageously drinkable and the alcohol is damn well integrated. Not for every day, but definitely a great drop! Chapeau to the RX and Swell team.
Fair evaluation at the 14th GRF: I remember the fruity appearance and the note of cheesecake with peach. However, I didn't get the real WOW effect. However, the price of around 70€ so Rob will probably not stand in the way of another tasting
#5608 30.08.2025 Tasting at the German Rum Fest. This was a nice surprise though I think it needs more barrel time to smooth it out. The overall profile is a bit edgy ans not there yet, but fruity with light wood and faint tannins. Looking forward to the release.
On 14.GAF I was allowed to taste the first drops of the future RumX bottling. Thanks to Rob and Oli for the opportunity. The rum is interesting, but unfortunately the Swell bottling from Mexico at the time didn't really grab me either. Alcohol well integrated, but unfortunately not my profile at all. Sorry
