How does this rum taste?
- really sweet
- notes of nuts and raisins
- balanced and surprising at every turn
Santos Dumont XO Palmira splits opinion for its intense sweetness, with honey, raisin, and apricot recurring as the most noted aromas and flavors. Some find it "apricots on nose, honey in mouth. really sweet" (Ondřej Sova), while others feel it's "almost sugar water with fruit taste" (Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰). The vanilla and dried fruit profile is clear, but several users describe a pronounced sugariness, sometimes paired with coconut or marshmallow notes, and a finish that tends to disappear quickly. This bottle sees comparisons to dessert wine, likable for those with a sweet tooth but divisive among traditional rum fans.

"The taste offers lovely soft and gentle notes of matured sweet oak, combined with tropical fruits and sultanas. The finish is deep with sweet tannins and caramelized honey."

Clear aromas from the barrel storage, fine spice, woody note, relatively fruity with apricot, peach, lime & lemon, hints of marshmallow & honey, hazelnut, a hint of spiciness with ginger. 6,5:On the palate, a sweet sugar cane, oak is noticed, a note of sweet wine comes through, very full-bodied & aromatic, fruity with apricot, peach and light grapes, fresh aromas with hints of lime & coconut, nuttiness, raisins, sweet hints of light caramel & marshmallows, light acidity, fine but distinctive spice with some peppery note. 5,5:The finish is quite short with strong sugary touch..."
"Wow, this is almost sugar water with fruit taste 😊 I'd classify this as a good beginner rum or a dessert rum. I'm pretty sure you can use it for baking as well."
"Sogar für mich als Einsteiger ist er zu süß und auch die Kokosnoten stören mich. Am Gaumen tropische Früchte, Vanille und Honig. Im Abgang bleibt ein angenehmer Rosinengeschmack zurück. Nicht der Beste von Santos Dumont aber trotzdem OK."
