Details about this rum
By rum lovers, for rum lovers
I'm Oliver – together with Jakob, Robert, and Lukas, we started RumX in 2018 as a small passion project in Stuttgart, back then under the name Rum Tasting Notes.
What began as a digital tasting diary is now the world's most comprehensive platform for rum fans: over 24,000 bottlings, 250,000+ independent reviews, and an active community with 47,000 members. We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, allowing you to shop securely and manage your collection directly from the app.
The goal? To offer you, the rum connoisseur, a place where you can choose with confidence—without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
I initially purchased this in 2021, and “Sweet” was the first thing that came to mind when I tried this one, and could not go beyond that for a flavor description. It’s almost as if they added sugar directly. Minimal burn. Mixing is pleasant, but none of the oakiness that I enjoy. I purchased a second bottle in 2025, and noted a medicinal scent for its aroma, which made me concerned about the flavor. While the scent continued somewhat to the flavor, there was enough sweetness, and a minimal burn, that helped balance it. The aroma did not continue when mixed, which was pleasant.
