    How does this rum taste?

    Exceptional complex nose
    Smooth and balanced palate
    Compares to high-end Veliers

    RumX buyers love the complex and expressive nose, often described as "addictive" with standout notes of coconut, vanilla, and oak mingling with hints of tropical fruit and glue. On the palate, its layers reveal caramel, leather, and spicy undertones, creating what many call a benchmark Demerara sipper. Sought after for contemplative evenings or special tastings, it's repeatedly compared favorably to Velier releases, with great value for such intensity and depth.

     Very nice adhesive nose. Complex yet light on the palate. The perfect "velier saver" 😉

     Amazingly close to the Velier Demeraras and thus at a very high level. Great rum and a real PLV secret tip.

     A wonderful tropical ripened Demerara with lots of coconut. Beautiful nose, you can smell it forever. The alcohol is very well integrated, perhaps not quite as complex. The cask probably saw caramel in some form, very oily, dark and full-bodied.Another alternative from the underrated El Dorado Rare Collection. No idea why this one is still available, I've been saving up for it anyway.
