    How does this rum taste?

    RumX members love this 2020 release for its cleaner, unsweetened Demerara profile and strong value. Expect woody vanilla and caramel on the nose, leading to dried fruit, spice and burnt sugar with coffee-chocolate touches. Easy to sip neat and recommended as an accessible intro to Guyana. Some find the 43% ABV thin with a shorter finish, but overall a popular, balanced choice with 185 RumX reviews.

    After finding out that Guyana rum without added sugar was on offer here, as a Guyana fan I simply had to try it. It was more than worth it. Roasted coffee with caramelized fruit and chocolate shavings. For me, this is THE rum profile par excellence. A little more mature and woody/"older" than the 12y. An absolute highlight for the price and a hit for those looking for an unsweetened rum to start with or as a sipper.

    Compared to the old sweeter version this one is a step forward. Instead of the sugar covering your palate you get a more hones and slightly spicy palate. The wood is there and so are the spices and semi heavy caramel, but it is a far better version. If you get the chance then give it a try. Price to quality is very good.

    Intense and balanced taste of grilled tropical fruit and with notes of oak and spices - lots of sweetness and with good pressure on the flavors 👍 Long lasting and smooth aftertaste 😁

    Also an evergreen for me, the sugar reduction has definitely made it better than the old version. Wood, vanilla, dark chocolate and a hint of fruit. I always have it in my cupboard, it always goes down well and the PLV is also great! P.S. For the sake of fairness, I have to reclassify it ;) still an evergreen but no longer an 8
