XM Royal Rum 10 Years
Most enjoy the soft caramel-vanilla nose and smooth sweetness, but many criticize the thin body, short finish and lack of flavor. Consensus: a simple, unremarkable everyday rum.
Those who like smooth, lightly sweet, undemanding rums similar to Diplomatico-style profiles and want an inexpensive everyday pour or mixer without much intensity.

Simple, smooth, but forgettable sipper

Enthusiasts seeking complexity, strong Guyanese character, or a long finish; anyone who dislikes thin, low-flavor 40% rums.

This is not a complex or sophisticated rum. I probably agree to the community character of 6. But on the other side it is pleasant and agreeable so that adds to the rating for me. Smooth caramel and vanilla - nice and plain.
This rum is produced, by Banks DIH in Guyana, or more correctly aged, blended and bottled cause they don’t any cane fields or stills. They nowadays buy their bulk rum from Trinidad and Barbados. It’s first aged in ex-bourbon barrels and then finished for six months in former Sherry casks. The aroma is great and at the palate it’s more than OK, but the finish is weak and short.
"Weird mix between an English and a Spanish, without much flavor, sounds like a diplomatico. To sum up, my tasting notes: On the nose: Caramel In the mouth: Round, Molasses Finish: Sweet".
Nothing spectacular. Perfectly basic rum.
