Santos Dumont XO Super Premium Rum

Even though I’m not a fan of sweetened rum is this quite OK, maybe because it’s produced from sugar cane honey in pot stills and that that gives it another profile. Significant aromas and flavors is bananas, coconut and honey.

Pleasant through and through. Not complex in any way. Just smooth and pleasant. Sweet though, maybe to much in the long run.

This is also a very sweet rum but it's really fruity. Using it for baking, ice cream and desserts.

Excellent, palatable and very interesting rum. The longer you drink it, the more aromas it reveals. Sweet, fruity and spicy with a very interesting interplay of wood and roasted aromas. A very interesting interplay of aromas even after the glass is empty. For me a very good rum...exactly my taste!

A very sweet, round rum. I like it a lot as a desert rum with the fam or friends(who aren’t used to the good stuff 😬). But overall little bit to sweet and not so spicy, for my taste… For desert santos XO > zacapa XO Nose: Popcorn, Intense, Sweet, Honey, vanilla, alcoholic, fruits, peaches, coconut, peaches, pineapple, raisin, apricot Mouth: Light, delicious, mild, round, soft, dry, alcoholic, sweet, honey, caramel, chocolate, young wood, almond, barrel(oak), coconut, pineapple, peaches Finish: medium, sweet, caramel, butterscotch, smoky, spice, roasted nuts, fruity, dried fruits, peaches, apricot

Strong and delicious aftertaste. Lovely sweet aroma and a hint of oak flavor.

The nose was rather appealing, with fruit, vanilla and almost Jamaica-style esters. But on the palate, it's a slightly peppery sugar stone. A touch of coffee too. Frankly, not crazy.

Fruit and vanilla in the aroma, honey-sweet with vanilla in the finish.

Super sweet rum for a very good price point

Mám rád sladké rumy a toto je jeden z nich. Sladký, sladký a ovocný.

Eine fruchtig süße XO-Zuckerbombe. Trotz des enormen Zuckerzusatz ist er recht ausgewogen und lecker. Honig, Kokos und Banane prägen das Geschmacksbild. Der Abgang ist schokoladig aber auch etwas sprittig.

Super fruchtiger und milder Süßrum. Fragwürdig, ob diese Süße allerdings ohne die Zugabe von Zucker erreicht werden kann, wie angegeben. Erinnert stark an A.H. Riise Abfüllungen.

The taste of soft tannins, high esters, honey and not least fermented fruit A long aftertaste in the sign of sweetness

tastes somehow sweet, floral & sour like vinegar and Gewürztraminer, together with rubber bananas. Better than the Palmira in direct comparison, but still absolutely not my cup of tea and nothing I need to drink again. Sorry.

7,2:On the nose it is sweet with notes of vanilla, butterscotch toffee and maple syrup all bursting up. After the airing oak spice pushes through the toffee sweetness. There are other sweet notes of candied oranges and canned apricots. Coconut and some ripe banana finally appear. The nose notes are quite enticing, let 's see how this sweetness will play out through palate. 6,4:On the palate we catch some heated alcohol and wood spice. There is also some maple sweetness, quite tasty, but soon it overpowers the whole rum. There are peppery oak spice, maple, honey and apricot jam and pineapple.In the end, the rum becomes woody.The roundedness is almost gone here. When we put the rum in the fridge, the touch of sweetness abates and becomes more sippable. 6,6:The finish is sweet, quite rounded, probably due to added sweetness. Sweet butterscotch and maple combined with oak are quite tasty. Baking spice, honey and cinnamon linger on.
