    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love its dark, roasted Versailles character and strong value. Aromas of licorice, leather and dried figs lead to a woody, bitter-leaning palate with roasted coffee, burnt sugar and dark chocolate. The finish runs long on spice and charred oak. Cask strength and rewarding with time in the glass, it’s a popular choice with 61 reviews and strong buyer confidence.

    good Versailles profile, but rather on the spicy side on the way with allspice, tobacco, oak. The (quite sparse) fruity notes go towards dried date and dried apple rings. Similar profile on the palate. In the finish toasty-dry

    Ugh, it tastes like soap! Or do I just not like licorice?

    Strong Versailles. Complex finish with full herbal aroma. Beautiful bottling at a fair price.

    I misplaced a few tasting notes a while ago, amongst these was this adolescent Versailles. C: Aged in the tropics or caramel coloured (E150)? I’m not liking this already. N: A blend of Granny apple peel, medium strong coffee, burnt sugar and fumes of petrol. I also get brine, which is typical of Versailles, but here it´s muted. I also get a strong kind of fake sweetness taste that reminds me of bad column still distillation. This make me think that perhaps too much E150 was involved in this single cask. M: Spicy and bitter. Burnt sugar with a sour coffee taste. It differs from Continental aged Guyana pot still rums I’ve tasted lately and that I like so much. There is no freshness here. F: Not long and sour. B: No
