    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members appreciate Saison Rum for its balanced, easygoing style. Expect vanilla, nutty demerara aromas with hints of raisin, then caramel, dried fruit and a touch of orange peel on a dry, light palate, finishing medium with gentle oak. Reviewers note it opens up after a short rest; otherwise the alcohol can show. A solid, versatile blend that many enjoy neat, backed by 23 community reviews.

    Round and balanced rum, where the spices play the main role. Balancing good between the dry and sweet side, typical everyday rum, not memorable, but good enough.

    7,2:The resolutely buttery nose of this rum does not detract from its expressiveness, which from the very first moments gives an impression of balance. Simple but well orchestrated, it spreads its spices (cinnamon and especially pepper) and roasted nuts. The coconut is soft and slightly roasted, this sweetness balances quite rightly a small metallic and smoky side that flirts with quince paste. This aspect underlines a lively and tense side of the rum which does not spread out in greediness, just like the caramel which is well present but without giving a sweet impression. The candied orange peel has swollen in these vapours and adds thickness. Aeration is defenitely needed, it takes the power up a notch. The heavier and more concentrated aromas come out with a little polish. At this point, the buttery side is forgotten, the smoky/metallic Trinidadian style asserts itself once again. Jamaica is also present, with its famous "funk" of extremely ripe exotic fruits, and especially banana. More eccentricity then, but also a little more hardness, with a very black wood, although nicely waxed. A cherry or pear brandy bursts at times to bring freshness and dynamism. 7:The entry in the mouth is very soft, with a very light consistency. The tobacco and light leather notes quickly give way to a good woody phase, then to the smoky and metallic side, which itself gradually approaches a very dark cocoa. An oxidised compote of rustic apples brings sweetness and thickness, the balance is quickly established by the toasted wood. 7:The finish is reminiscent of a light metallic touch, molasses, caramel and vanilla. Instead of 6, the rum gets +7 from me, aeration saved the day for it... 👍.

    Actually quite an interesting everyday rum. Unfortunately, the alcohol is not well integrated.

    Smell:sweet coffee with cream, almonds/marzipan, cocoa powder (tiramisu vibes). Overall not too complex, but pleasant Taste: weak/watery, alcohol gets in the way, oak, some dark dried fruits (mostly plums and cherries) Finish: medium, changes from sweet chocolate liquor to oak tannins
