    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love Chamarel XO for its smooth, vanilla-led character, gentle wood and hints of dried fruit. Distilled from sugar cane juice in Mauritius and aged 8 years, it drinks mildly sweet with soft spice and a dry touch. Often enjoyed neat or with dessert. A popular pick with 71 reviews and strong buyer confidence, though some note a short finish and wish for more punch.

    Not a bad rum but I would have loved a higher ABV.

    Very gourmand on the nose, with notes of vanilla, cane and wood. Sweet and engaging. On the first palate, the promises of the nose remain, with some dried fruit. Then a discreet bitterness intrudes on the finish. The sensation is balanced by a lively, spicy edge. Caramel. Slightly roasted notes. Wood and vanilla. A rather pleasant agricultural experience. Edit: still lacks punch. The significant reduction leaves a watery sensation. On an early line-up, it's still very pleasant.

    Auch echt okay dieser Rum. Ist eher süßlich, aber trotzdem okay. Schöne Vanillenote in der Nase. Am Gaumen auch viel Vanille, außerdem etwas dunkle Schokolade und auch sehr würzig und holzig. Leckeres Teil.

    La bouteille à été ouverte pour l’occasion. Un nez de bois neuf avec du bacon et du fumé. La bouche est consensuelle avec un léger poussiéreux. La finale est plate et courte. Un rhum décevant mais loin d’être mauvais.
