    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members praise this Guyanese single cask for its robust molasses core layered with coffee, dark chocolate and smoky oak. The Red Pineau Charentes cask adds a fruity lift—think dried fruit and a gentle sweetness—while peppery spice drives a long, warm finish. Many enjoy it neat or on the rocks after a short rest. With 35 community reviews and rising confidence, it's a characterful sipper worth exploring.

    The nose starts off alcoholic but after resting for 15 minutes it changes to a nice smoky nose with honeysuckle, varnish and molasses/bourbon. The palate is nice and warm with a charred smoky start going into dried fruit, caramel and a bit of spices. The finish is long, medium dry and warm with pepper and a tad off smoke.

    A strong aroma of molasses, coffee, dark chocolate, some wood and fruit. The taste is also full of chocolate, malt, molasses and coffee, spicy with roasted aromas.

    Very interesting. I like a hint of whisky in that.
