Really good stuff.Edit: RumX Advent 1.12.22Chocolate, espresso, tar, slightly smoky, finish rubber, red and dried fruit, tingling on the tongueNice bouquet, finish lasts a long time.

    "#1st dec RumXCalendar Blind tasting: Nose: Rubber, Bicylce tube, woody, toasted, varnish, leather Palate: rubber, caramel, dried fruits, roasted, woody, barrel notes, oily, licorice Finish: long, rubber, licoric, woody, barrel notes, espresso. The alcohol is integrated very well. This one is crazy, on one side it has a bit of a caroni like rubber/bicyle tube taste, but the full body is missing here, it’s … softer. This doesn’t mean it’s bad, but more accessible😏 My Prediction: T.D.L but an old one without those lovely minty notes Approx. 55% Approx. 25 years of aging"

    "Blind, Day 1 24DaysOfRum 2022 I had my mind set on Caroni and I was pretty sure too - that's how you can be wrong! The nose is quite closed. I perceive dried fruit and vanilla. Then on the palate very bulky with lots of notes that I would assign to Caroni. Heavy and oily. The finish is long and nicely reflects the impressions from the palate. A very good rum.If the alcohol was better integrated, I would rate 90+."

    "Holy crap is this good stuff! Dark melted chocolate couverture meets cooked passion fruit jam and vanilla pulp plus banished caroni gum tones. Unbelievably awesome! I'm speechless! 😍🥲🤤"
