A.H. Riise 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."

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

"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"

"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."

"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."

"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 sweet rum for a very good price point"

"Angenehme Nase mit viel Frucht, Zuckeraromen, aber auch Schokolade und Röstaromen. Im Mund wird man dann aber wieder vom Zucker erschlagen, wobei man mit etwas Wohlwollen noch röstige Kokosnuss und Schokolade erwähnen kann. Maximal mittelklassig und nicht wirklich als Rum anzusehen. Super Premium Rum - nichts von diesen drei Wörtern."

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

"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."

"A tasting from October 2022. No doubt who's behind Santos Dumont, and this has a bit of the same characteristics; very sweet in the nose, with hints of tropical fruit and caramel, and in the notes it's sweet and honey-like"

"Relatively sweet. Very mild and balanced. Price performance in order. Tasted again after a long time. Unfortunately now much too sweet for my taste. In my opinion a great starter rum."

"Meine Güte ist daa süß! Wirklich wie sirup im Mund. Krass. An der Nase geht's noch, man merkt, dass er aromatisiert ist: Kokos, Pfirsich und Keksteig. Trotzdem alkoholisch. Am Gaumen kommen weihnachtliche Gewürze dazu."

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

"Let's say I'm not rating rum here, but a liqueur with rum flavors - then it's halfway tasty - I wouldn't pour it for myself now, but back then I thought it was cool. The combination of flavors is quite exciting: orange, vanilla, caramel, raisins and dough!"
