    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love the bold Islay peat from the Kilchoman finish, wrapped around Fiji’s tropical fruit and ester character. Expect smoky, woody aromas with roasted tones, then whisky-leaning flavors of peat, bacon and oak, finishing long. Frequently praised as a whisky–rum crossover that appeals to whisky drinkers. With 48 community reviews and a limited 144-bottle release, it’s a distinctive sipper worth exploring.

    Rum on the side! It smells like fermented molasses with lots of fruit flavors and the palate yo-yo's on the peat, with great length. So the bottle was almost empty, but great product. I don't understand the low scores!

    Wow, what a slap in the face! The whisky rum mix is crazy! To sum up, my tasting notes: Nose: Smoky, Phenolic Mouth: Peat, Smoke, Intense, Dry, Bacon Finish: Peat, Smoke, Tropical fruit

    I just can't do anything with whiskey finishes. However, this one is well done and fits the concept.

    Gekauft ohne zu wissen, dass der ein Whisky finish hat. Hier fällt es aber zum Glück weniger negativ auf als sonst. In der Nase ist der Rum noch zu erkennen auch wenn Jod und Torf die Nase dominieren. Dabei sind sie aber nicht zu extrem und lassen Raum für fruchtige Apfelnoten. Im Mund komme ich dann aber gar nicht mehr hinterher. Der torfige Whisky verschmischt sich mit den estern des Rums und erzeugt eine komplexe aber fast überfordernde Palette miteinander konkurrierender Noten. Neben dem Whisky bleibt dabei aber vor allem Bitterkeit die euphemistisch ausgedrückt in Richtung Grapefruit gehen könnte. Überdurchschnittlich gut für ein Whisky finish aber dennoch nicht mein Fall.
