    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its bourbon-leaning profile: rich vanilla, caramel and coconut over spicy, woody notes. Despite just 3 years, many find it surprisingly complex with good intensity at 55.6% cask strength. Often enjoyed neat, though some note an alcohol-forward, youthful edge and occasional short finish. A popular pick with 82 reviews and strong buyer confidence; a limited 1,200-bottle release from Privateer for Habitation Velier.

    Le nez est assez léger et en bouche c’est cacao,chocolat,bourbon

    Unfassbar langweiliger Rum. Mehr als etwas Süße und Karamell gibt die Spirituose nicht her. Blind kann man hier auch auf einen belanglosen Bourbon tippen. Alkohol ist gut eingebunden, anders gesagt der Rum ist total weichgespült.

    I got this bottle yesterday and couldn't wait until the weekend with the tasting. This is a relatively light rum and I had expected a rum with more punch to it. The nose has bourbon on it with sweet caramel and heavy vanilla notes with a bit of coconut. The palate is dominated by caramel with a lot of spices and you can really taste the burnt molasses. The finish is long and has burnt oak and spices that linger for very long.

    Then finally a privateer. This is more in the sweeter corner. Caramel and vanilla stand out on the nose and palate. The palate is quite alcoholic, however, and the alcohol could be better integrated.
