    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its bold peaty smoke and surprisingly well-integrated 60.9% strength. Expect smoky vanilla, malt and toffee on the nose, then oily, salty oak with whisky, leather and spice on the palate. The finish is long and smoky. Many recommend it to whisky fans; some find the finish dominant and fruit minimal. With 49 reviews and rising community trust, this limited 690-bottle release earns attention.

    A very special animal with its Port Ellen finish. Although I‘m not a huge fan of Islay Whiskies this combination works very well and makes a rounded and complex Rum/Whisky combo.

    Unfortunately a disappointment. Doesn't taste good to me. Subtly fruity on the finish, otherwise rather too earthy. Reminds me too much of whisky. Too bad I bought a whole bottle. Maybe I'll make a whisky friend happy with it I can hardly get it down even on the second try. I just don't like it.

    01.02.2025 Retasting at the "Nordlichter Treffen 2025". Still a very good rum in my mind. --------------------- This is one of my favourite diamond releases and the price tag is definitely matching what you get. I other words a very good buy at release. The nose is fruity with caramel and maple as well as very light smoky wood. The palate is complex with fruit, smoky wood and spices and a light tobacco note. The finish is long with smoky wood, orange and nice spices.

    Geruch ist recht intensiv. Sehr ledrig, rauchig. Der Geschmack entspricht dem Geruch, allerdings deutlich extremer. Keine Süße, keine Frucht, aber extrem würzig und die Würze hält sehr lange vor. Mir persönlich etwas zu extrem.
