    The Rum & Cane British West Indies XO, crafted by independent bottler Crucial Drinks, presents a rich banana and citrus aroma profile complemented by vanilla and subtly spicy undertones. Distilled from molasses and aged for 6 years, this limited release of 2,000 bottles brings a balanced palate featuring honey and spices, rounded out with notes of roasted molasses. With an approachable ABV of 43%, it offers a medium, creamy finish that is both smooth and warming, making it an accessible choice for newcomers.

    "Easy to drink. Nothing special. A fruity note in the nose with a bit of banana and citrus. In the mouth classic oak, vanilla and molasses with a bit of banana. This rum is from Barbados and T&T, but there is nothing what reminds me on T&T… Very unspectacular short finish."

    "#4439 Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Notes. Pretty decent rum. Sweet and fruity with a floral touch and a very light smoky note. After resting caramel and chocolate appear in the glass."

    "The nose is a burst of freshly cut citrus with a subtle smokiness in the background. The palate is very sweet with punchy banana and molasses notes. Quite sharp. The finish is medium in length and has a creamy smokiness that is rather warming. It's very easy to drink. Probably the most of the four minis I got from Rum and Cane Merchants. Probably the one I'd buy a full bottle of."
