Old Rum („Family Reserve“) (RX908)

Introducing the "Old Rum („Family Reserve“)" from Bermudas, a remarkable 16-year-old rum produced by Goslings and made from molasses with a Pot and Column Still, bottled at 40% ABV. This well-rounded rum has delighted the noses of its tasters with its complex aroma of dark chocolate, raisin, spice, vanilla, and fruity hints. On the palate, it bursts with flavors of caramel, dark chocolate, chocolate, spice, and oak. RumX community members have described it as a dark and complex rum with Christmas spices and a wonderfully balanced combination of fruity, spicy, fresh, and slightly woody notes. Try this intriguing Bermuda rum and experience its rich taste and character for yourself.

Eigenwilliger kraftvoller, süßer, pfeffriger Rum, harmoniert aber in der Gesamtheit hervorragend. Bringt bei jedem Schluck neue Geschmacksnoten und hat einen langen, trockenen Abgang.

Even geleden dat ik hem had gedronken, maar wat blijft dit een lekkere donkere rum! Tonen van Koffie, chocolade, zoetigheid van rozijnen en bruine suiker.

I’m mixed on this one. The presentation is great, and the rum itself has notes of chocolate, spice, a little bit of dried fruit—all nice things, but it also has an odd chemical property (which I find in the standard goslings), giving it a bitterness and odd mouthfeel that make it a little unpleasant to sip neat.
