    How does this rum taste?

    • Lovely port cask influence
    • Smooth, easy to drink
    • Balanced fruit and sweetness

    Port cask richness leads in this Panamanian sipper, layering vanilla, raisin, and gentle wood over a smooth, dessert-like palate. RumX tasters highlight its fruity character, approachable sweetness, and seamless integration of port and oak. Worth a sip for anyone drawn to mellow, fruit-forward rums with a touch of complexity.

    "This is one of the 3 releases of the XV and it's pretty good actually. The nose starts off with a lot of caramel, in a good way, then goes into candied fruits wit some oakiness to it. The palate continues with the fruits and some leather and spices. The Port cask is definitely there and I like it. The finish is medium to long, astringent with vanilla and sweetness to it. Price to quality is good. "

    "8:On the nose, aromas of vanilla, nuts (almond) and cherry are delicious. Classic caramel and tobacco are also present. 7,8:On the palate, the attack is soft but also intense and one might think that this rum is over 40°. Caramel, tobacco and nuts make up this gourmet profile. 8:The finish is long, with tobacco playing the leading role. Wood and almond try to take the spotlight, but are ultimately defeated.."

    "Oh wow, this rum impressed me. It has a lovely vanilla aroma on the nose, followed by spices. The palate also has a nice, slightly spicy vanilla flavor. Reasonable sweetness and well-integrated alcohol round off the good impression."
