    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the sherry-cask finish: honeyed sweetness with dried fruits, tobacco and wood on the nose, leading to a smooth, oily palate and a medium‑long, slightly smoky finish. It’s a sweet style—several note some added sugar—yet remains balanced and very tasty. Well-regarded value and popular on RumX, with 87 reviews and strong buyer confidence, it stands out for sherry lovers.

    Fantastic! Absolute fantastic!

    Iets zuurder en lekkerder dan Abuelo Napoleon.

    Fantastic sherry rum. Quite complex in flavour and nose. Very tasty and one of my first rum “wow”. It is however shame that sugar is added.

    8:On the nose, we get some nice accents of prune and tobacco in addition to the more classic caramel and vanilla. After airing, more dried fruits come out, orange appears and some roasted notes as a bit ashy impression is felt. This rum is fresh and well balanced on the nose. 8,5:On the palate, the attack is soft and the sugar takes up a lot of space. However, freshness remains, which helps to avoid extreme sweetness. Orange, vanilla and rancio are the dominant aromas here. 8:The finish is fairly long. It is driven by notes of vanilla, followed quickly by tobacco and rancio.. Smoooooth....
