„Slightly bitter wood notes meet a pleasantly sweet fruit mix. On the nose, I think a bit of Cointreau. For a better rating, the alcohol should not be so noticeable in the finish.“

„Diese Abfüllung gefällt mir besser als der TRC… sie ist sehr holzig und intensiv am Gaumen ! Die Nase ist sehr fruchtig und frisch. Er braucht Zeit im Glas, aber dann ist er ein Genuss“

„RumXmas, day 6 Tried this one about a year ago and scored it 67, guess it didn’t really impress me back then. I like it somewhat better today, but still not really a fan. I miss “big” flavors. I find it mostly dry and peppery and the alcohol could be incorporated better… So far not the biggest fan of Mount Gay 🤷♂️“

„This tastes quite hot, I had this blind and believed it to be a younger one... the roughness really irritated and took away some fun. There is also almost no sweetness. During tasting I had the thought: "hm, banana", but could not really find again the source of this impression. This one could improve with some water added.“

„RumX-Adventskalender, 08.12.2021, blind. Erster Eindruck: Ein Bisschen Klebstoff (Sorte Guyana/Barbados, nicht der aus Jamaika), aber auch sehr fruchtig. Vielleicht Jamaika? Mit mehr Zeit im Glas etwas Waldhonig und Minze, eher unpassend, doch ein anderes Land? Am Gaumen trocken, bitter-salzig, fast schon dumpf. Harzig-holzig mit etwas Menthol und Minze. Plötzlich auch etwas Dreck und Teer, dazu Bittermandel. Passt nicht zu Jamaika. Vielleicht Trinidad? Je länger er im Glas ist, um so mehr verwandelt er sich. Aufgrund der verschiedenen Richtungen hätte ich auf einen Blend getippt. War es dann doch nicht, umso größer die Überraschung.“

„RumX-Adventskalender, 6.12., blind Erneut keine eindeutige Zuordnung geschafft. Erster Eindruck Guyana, oder doch Jamaika, vielleicht ein Clarendon? Auch ein Navy-Blend wäre möglich… Nase: lieblich-würzig, fruchtig mit Pritt-Klebestift. Nicht eindeutig, aber irgend etwas zwischen Aprikose/Pfirsich und Mandarine/Kirsche mit mehliger Banane. Dunkler Wald-Honig und ganz leicht Essig und Minze dazu. Gaumen: deutlich trocken und bitter-salzig. Etwas herbe Grapefruit und ziemlich holzig. Leicht minzig und Umami hinten heraus. Am Ende zieht sich noch eine angenehme leichte Teer-Note nach. Mal wieder eine nette Überraschung und die Erkenntnis, noch lange auf der Rum-Reise zu sein…“

„zu Beginn recht stechender Alkohol, der zum Glück nach einigen Minuten verfliegt. Danach kommen Holzfass, Vanille, Karamell und gelbe Früchte. Alles aber irgendwie nicht sonderlich intensiv. Am Gaumen sehr starker Fasseinfluss, sehr röstig, im Hintergrund eine Note, die mich an weissen Pfirsich erinnert. Der Abgang ist ziemlich trocken.“

„6. Sample im RX-Adventskalender. Schwerpunkt auf Holz- und Röstaromen. Nuss, Vanille und Gewürze. Es ist auch eine dreckige Note (Werkstatt) dabei, die mich an einen Caroni erinnert. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden - mild. In Summe sind das jedoch nicht die Aromen, die mich ansprechen.“

„Honey golden; nice thick legs coming down on the glass Nose: mild glue/acetone, with a pinch of wood and yellow fruits in the background (apple and peaches possibly).As time goes by and the oxygen does its thing, I get more nutty flavors, as well as more prominent citrus fruits. Mouth: definitely more fruity, again with peaches and orange peels upfront…there are some spices coming along (vanilla from the barrel I guess, and maybe ginger). Finish: medium, with orange peels and dried fruits.“

„Tag 6 RumX Adventskalender: Holzig, würzig, alkoholisch, im Abgang etwas Banane. Schwierig einzuschätzen. Dachte an einen "schwachen" Worthy Park. Wieder mal verschätzt.“
