    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this limited (3,000 bottles) Dominican sipper for its sweet, smooth profile: vanilla and caramel on the nose, followed by dark chocolate, oak and a gentle malt-whisky touch. At 43%, it’s approachable and easy to sip; some suggest a little air to open it up. A few wished for higher ABV or a bolder finish, but with 45 community reviews, it’s a confident choice.

    It’s great, but it should have been even better with a little bit higher ABV. But it will anyway have a unthreatened place at my Spanish styled shelf. Aromas is sweet and woody with hints of vanilla. The flavors is rather sweet and round with a distinct taste from the whisky finish.

    There is hardly anything to notice from the extra whisky finish.... Overall, another unfortunately disappointing Oliver

    Certainly not a rum for everyone and probably not for rum beginners. Meanwhile, I have 25 different rums with very different taste directions.this rum stands out very strongly from all others. Who likes rum and whiskey, should get this special rum (in my collection the most expensive copy so far).

    This is a retasting and I'll leave the old comment and change the points 😊 This is a malt finish og their normal 25 and you definitely get the barrel finish. The nose is sharp in the beginning so leave if for 15 minutes ad you get rewarded with fruits, vanilla and caramel. There is a bit of earthiness about it. The palate is mild and well rounded with a lot of tropical fruits, berries and grapes topped with vanilla and oak. The finish is medium to long with a sweet stickiness followed by fruit, cocoa and caramel.
