How does this rum taste?
- Honigsüß mit Vanille im Abgang
- pleasant through and through
- eine fruchtig süße XO-Zuckerbombe
Santos Dumont XO lands squarely in the "sweet rum" camp, with vanilla, honey, coconut, and tropical fruit popping up over and over in RumX tastings. The rum is strikingly sweet—"wie sirup im Mund" (Rumpalumpa)—with soft, approachable notes of caramel, pineapple, and raisin. Many liken its aroma to "fruit, vanilla, almost Jamaican esters" (Vincent D), while others split on whether the sugar rush is inviting or just too much. With background influences from sherry and port and a friendly ABV, it's often called a dessert rum, divisive but rarely dull.

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

"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."
