    How does this rum taste?

    • Smooth vanilla and caramel notes
    • Accessible for beginners
    • Fruity and sweet profile

    Vanilla and caramel sweetness lead the way in Gold of Mauritius Dark Rum, joined by fruity and lightly woody undertones. RumX tasters highlight its accessible character: "fruity with clear vanilla" (MJ72) and a soft, easy finish. There’s nuance for casual sippers, with just enough complexity for newcomers exploring the world of cane spirits. Worth a try for fans of gentle, dessert-like rums.

    "Coffee flavors come to the fore, with a slight alcoholic note. The finish is smooth and moderately sweet. However, the nose and tongue are irritated throughout, and although slightly sweet, the body is rather light, and the alcohol seems to be unintegrated. I remember the 8 year old having a bit more depth and less alcohol buzz. If you like the flavor of Gold of Mauritius, I'd recommend spending a little more to get the 8 year old."

    "The barrel is definitely in the foreground, very mild rum despite low sweetness."
