    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members enjoy its easy, light style with tropical fruit and raisin on the nose, plus hints of orange, banana and vanilla. At 40%, it's mild and smooth, going down easily with a warm, short finish. Many call it an entry-level sipper and a friendly intro to rum. Some note a sweetened touch, a thin body and brief finish. With 71 reviews, it's a popular, straightforward pick.

    6.9/10 73 reviews

    A light entry-level blend, unfortunately sweetened. Citrus and flowery aromas I attribute to the Trinidad component, the slightly bitter note to Guyana. The Citrus is quite dominant, but not to the level of certain artificially flavored products.

    Fruchtig, reif, ausgewogen. Die Nase könnte kein besserer Einstieg in's Thema Rum sein. Etwas Malz, diverse Früchte, ein Hauch Rauch. Süßer Start im Mund, danach ein reifer Obstkorb, ein würziger Mittelteil und ein warmer, Abgang mit Rosinen und Überreife. Unglaublich mild, und kaum zu glauben dass hier nicht gesüßt wurde. Du willst irgendjemandem möglichst verträglich erklären dass Rum mehr ist als Supermarkt? Schenk ihm den hier.

    Kraftig smag! Ikke sød.

    Rhum agréable, flatteur et très facile d’accès. Bel équilibre
