    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this 16-year Navy-style Spirit of the day release for its complex, well-balanced profile and standout value. Expect dark berries, caramel, and a touch of tar over gentle barrel spice, with the 54.5% ABV nicely integrated. It benefits from a little time in the glass. Limited to 96 bottles and rated 90/100 from 10 reviews, it’s a confident pick for TDL-leaning Navy fans.

    # 23.10.2025 A nice relaxing day with Fabian in a summehouse in Blåvand 🇩🇰 The nose is absolutely gorgeous and well balanced despite the ABV. Nice eucalyptus, light wood, faint pear, light dried fruit, faint floral, ligt tar. On the palate it's very well balanced with lots of natural sweetness. Fruity with nice caramel,light wood and some faint mint. Medium long and sweet with nice light cherry ad raisin,very faint tar.

    Welch eine positive Überraschung und wenn ich das PLV zusätzlich dabei sehe eine echte Empfehlung für jeden Navy-Liebhaber 👍🏻 In der Nase überwiegen klar und deutlich die TDL-Marker, wobei auch leichte Hampden- und Caroni-Aromen erkennbar sind. Am Gaumen eine schöne Komplexität aus dunklen Beeren, Frische, gebranntes Karamell, Fass, Würze, Mokka und leichtem Teeraroma. Zum Schluss überwiegen dann die schweren dunklen Aromen die sich auch im Abgang halten 😋. So muss ein Navy sein

    die Navy Rums schießen ja gerade wie Pilze aus dem Boden, da muss sich der SOTD einiger Konkurrenz erwehren…erster Eindruck an der Nase: eher von der fruchtigen Sorte, ich würde auf einen 2005er oder 2009er TDL tippen. Danach kommt das Diamond Profil. Hampen ist nicht super intensiv, eher so Medium Range Ester. Den Caroni Anteil kann ich nur mit viel gutem Willen erkennen. Der Gaumen ist sehr rund und würzig, angenehm süffig mit ordentlich langem Abgang. Die Bewertung fällt mir schwer, weil er echt nicht schlecht gemacht ist. Aber wenn ich dann zB mit dem Tiger Shark vergleiche, der intensiver und auch noch günstiger ist auf die 70cl umgerechnet, relativiert sich alles etwas.

    This bottling is amazing, great value for money! Tasted on the beach in Denmark, where it feels a little closer to the tradition of Navy rum. Dark, intense aromas gather in the nose, clearly TDL character with herbal influences, light coolness and dark fruits. The 57% ABV is really well integrated on the palate and perfectly accompanies the rum's almost Christmassy character traits. Star anise, a little clove and barrel influences, plus rubber and leather, a little tobacco at the back - a beautiful blend that has been put together correctly!
