Plantation Extra Old XO 20th Anniversary
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Delicious and a lot of tropical fruit. Vanilla is coming through in this one and it sticks for a while.A super rum to sit and sip with your friends.A very good beginners rum in my mind,"
Diplomático / Botucal Reserva Exclusiva
Top review from Oliver:
"With this rum, many have discovered their love for rum. By the sweetness and complaisance the ideal entry. Meanwhile, however, it is clearly too sweet and one-dimensional for me. Nevertheless, a recommendation for all who want to collect their first steps in the pure enjoyment of spirits."
Bumbu The Original
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This is definitely a good rum for beginners. A bit too sweet for me, but still nicely balanced and an easy sipper. The nose is sweet with vanilla and chocolate. The palate is sweet and fruity with spices and caramel. Kind of a smooth rum. The finish is medium and sweet with vanilla. "
Pure Single Jamaican Rum
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This rum, together with its Overproof brother, marking an historic moment for all rum enthusiasts loving the funky 100% pot still rum from Jamaica. Now we don’t need to buy expensive Veliers. The nose is fruity and spicy with esters. At the palate it’s complex, intense and funky with strong flavors of fruits and spices."
Black Tot Rum
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"It did not impress me at all. Disappointing. Too much alcohol and anonymous aromas. It remains a pleasant after-meal rum, but uninteresting for tasting at a certain level. I expected more from a well reviewed rum...I probably failed to understand it."
Plantation Grande Réserve
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Typical Barbadian in nose and palate. A very young rum so don't expect too much from it. A pleasant nose and ok semi complex fruity palate with a finish that ends almost before it begins. Price to quality is very good."
XO - Triple Cask Blend
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Whisky & Rom Festival 2023 28.10.2023 Another retaste and it still performs pretty well. Price to quality is pretty good. ------------------------- This is a very nice and easy sipping rum from Mount Gay. A typical Bajan rum in nose and palate. The nose is elegant with spice, a bit of orange and charred barrel. The palate starts off with a bit of sweetness, spicy and a bit dry. There is some leather and earthyness to it as well. The finish is medium long, dry and with charred oak and ginger. Again a tiny bit of earthyness on the way out."
Fine Aged Rum
Top review from DosenZorn:
"Have bought this rum mainly because of the beautiful bottle. Actually a Red Flag, if you are looking for good taste, this one has surprised me relatively positively. Due to the only 40% somewhat watered down and thin and not too complex but a nice Feierabend Sipper at a good price. Definitely a great entry rum and superior to the many dead sugared competitors.Addendum: last drop is out of the bottle. Complex? Rather less. Good sipper? Definitely. A good unsweetened representative of the Spanish style. A little more power would have done it good. A >50% version would be nice. Still, great price/performance. Overall rating 2"
Dictador 20 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the second one of the six. This is the second time I have this rum in a tasting and this time it got a few more points. This rum is made from sugarcane and honey molasses, which is pretty rare. In this rum you can really smell and taste the honey. This is a must try if you like Zacapa rum because they're pretty similar. Price to quality is very good. This rum won gold at the 2010 International Rum Expert Panel. "
XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The taste is less aggressive than many other Agricole’s. I would even say that it’s rather mild at same time that it’s very elegant. A perfect entrance to the Agricole world. The aromas and flavors is fruity, spicy and woody with citrus, pepper, cinnamon and oak clearly recognizable."
1888 Doblemente Añejado
Top review from Tim :
"The good thing about this rum is that it has not been excessively sugared, like many other rums from this category. However, it is not particularly praiseworthy at first sight because of the alcoholic note, but if you give it a little time, you get a wonderfully woody sherry nose. In addition, caramel and some fruit. In the mouth then even the dark flavors dominate, which makes this rum something special."
Plantation 3 Stars White
Top review from Decky Hicks Doughty:
"The nose is vanilla forward. Quite a lot of esters and a subtle citrus and white chocolate note. The palate has the vanilla from the nose but it's more mineral and less fruity. Some exotic woods. The finish is quite short. Vanilla and toasted coconut mainly. Overall its a decent white rum. I'm not too much of a fan of this mixed but it's very reasonably priced and not bad neat."
Rum Fire
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"It’s a triple distilled pure pot stills HLCF rum which gives an ester level of 500-600. The finish is rather long and tastes about the same as on the palate. I think it’s the best of the three big white Overproof’s from Jamaica, it’s funky, potent, complex and powerful without being too pungent."
Millonario Solera XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Retasting this one as a dessert rum and it does well at that. This is a very sweet rum in my mind and you could use it for dessert actually. Again a solera blend of rums aging from 15 to 20 years."
Black Tot Rum 50th Anniversary 2020
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"I just love this rum so I have ordered yet another backup bottle. This is a pretty well blended and also well balanced rum from Black Tot. Spicy bit well balanced with the other elements and you barely get a burn from the proof once rested for 15 minutes. The dominant rum in this blend is clearly the one from Guyana. You only get hints of the ones from Jamaica and Barbados. For the price a pretty good rum."
Lazy Dodo Single Estate
Top review from Gregor :
"Angenehmer Einsteiger. Viel dörrpflaume und auch andere trockenfrüchte. Generell ein sehr schöner Holzeinfluss. Leider für mich ein wenig zu viel süße. Ein sehr schöner Übergangsrum um von den total süßen Einsteigern sich an die trockenen Varianten heranzutasten"
VSOP
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Just like the XO it’s more or less a perfect entry to a tour in the Agricole world. Tasted this one at a rum cruise when it was included at Ian Burrell’s “Blindtaste” Master class. It was quite easy to get it right, cause it was the only Agricole included. The picture shows the included rums at the blindtaste."
1796 Antiguo de Solera
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"One of the better Spanish styled “Ron”. It’s well balanced, smooth and not as sweet as most of the “Ron’s”. The nose is fruity and smoky as well as at the palate together with vanilla. Unfortunately is the finish much too short."
Chairman‘s Reserve Legacy
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Compared to the other releases from the Chairman's reserve I'd say this one is more refined and complex in the taste. A wonderful funky nose transcending into a wonderful complex palate with a spicy entry and a fruity touch to the end. The finish is long, deep and has complexity to it. This is a blend of 7.5 years John Dore, 7 years Vendome, 5.5 years Coffey RR104 and a 5 years John Dore. "
Angostura 1919
Top review from Leo Tomczak:
"Amazingly good. Nose full of Trinidad. Very light taste, of course. I think it's only moderately suitable for beginners, as you'd expect something pleasantly sweet in this price segment. The TDL aromas come through well, almost herbal/tar. I am very positively surprised."
Chairman‘s Reserve Original
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Most people wants to find rum with good value for money. Well, here it is. It’s very hard to find anything better for this amount of money. The only one I found is the English Harbour 5yo. It’s a blend of separately aged rums in ex-Bourbon barrels distilled from Coffey and pot stills. After blended it’s aged for six months more in oak vats. The average age of the blend is 5 years. There’s really something special with its flavours and nice afterburn. After what I have heard it’s the most consumed rum in St. Lucia. So it can’t be more karibik. This is a very good everyday rum to a very low price."
Cinabrio Ron 12 Años
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"very nice play of orange peel, tangerine & toffee, clearly better than the old 12 cihuatan. apparently not only the design but also the recipe has been improved again here.👌🏽 overall, however, it is a bit woody and one-dimensional but nicely orangey. I find the indigo better in terms of plv."
Rhum Traditionnel Le Must
Top review from Galli33:
"Thanks to the RumX Team for this great opportunity!! Unfortunately, I missed the only tasting due a delayed flight… This one took the third place in my tasting, very fruity, with some nice notes of furniture waxes, bitter orange and honey. A really nice daily driver, without looling on the price tag!"
HSE Grande Reserve XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"18.11.2023 Yet another retasting and I still like the profile. --------------------- Retasting at the German Rum Fest and I still like it. ----- We had a go at several HSE today and I'm a bit tipsy from it."
Planteray Cut and Dry Coconut Rum
Top review from RumTaTa:
"As soon as the rum is in the glass I think I have a plate full of fresh coconut macaroons in front of me, coconut ^3! On the palate there is a slightly grassy note but the coconut flavors continue to give full steam! The finish is surprisingly long and - surprise! - is dominated by coconut! For what it is, it's excellent and a great addition to pina coladas and other exotic cocktails!"
White Overproof
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"One of the epic rum mixers, that was used by Victor Bergeron when he created Mai Tai back in 1944. The nose is mostly fruity and spicy. At the palate the fruitiness dominates with flavors of citrus, banana and pineapple. The finish has a certain sweetness and a long spiciness."
Le rhum vieux par Neisson
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Has my recommendation, it’s really great, but I have choose the XO for my rumbar from Neisson. Tasted this one out at the Baltic Sea at an Masterclass during a rum cruise with Birka Cruises. Lots of wood, vanilla and fruitiness in it."
Épices Créoles
Top review from Rowald Sweet Empire:
"From the Days of Rum 2023 box. Start out with all the oranges. Very fruity. Vanilla. Cool and unexpected start. Let dig in- Taste: more oranges. Quite bitter too. Ginger. Pretty intense for its 46%. Did somebody dropped some fanta and tonic in the cask? Interesting vibe for an agricole. Outspoken. Not really balanced. Part of a series. Had the Fumee which is lighter but better balanced. Fun drop though."
Le Rhum Par Neisson
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Bought this Rhum Neisson Blanc from Catawiki a few months ago. The distillery is owned by the Neisson family since its foundation in 1932. They uses fresh sugar cane juice from locally grown cane. After a quite long fermentation it’s distilled in a French Savalle column still installed 1938. Overall a great Agricole Blanc that’s very good neat, but a little weak in a Ti Punch."
Diplomático / Botucal Ambassador Selection
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This is the best Diplomatico there is out there. The Single Vintages is also OK but can’t really compete, but I don’t think it’s really living up to the high price, but still a must have at my Spanish shelf. Picture: My Diplomatico shelf by moment."
Añejo Superior 5 Years
Top review from Decky Hicks Doughty:
"A very woody nose with lots of spice. There's some grape and exotic fruits buried underneath it all. Sharp. A quite sweet palate. Brioche buns with a touch of cinnamon and oak. Less fruity and spiced than the nose would suggest. Also more rounded. The finish is short. A flash of ginger and softer wood notes. It's not going to blow anybody away but it's not unpleasant."
Clairin Sonson
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"Clairin nice and dirty like the Vaval and Le Rocher.These white rums I love them and I can taste real rum in them without too many refinements just like in the pirate days. Sure they are not refined nor easy, but they are authentic!"
Panama 10 Years 2015
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Un rhum de Panama qui se détache un peu de la tradition hispanique pure avec quelques arômes un peu plus développés. Le nez est pour le coup doux mais assez varié, les notes florales et de tabac rajoutant un peu de complexité aux notes épicées et caramélisées classiques. Les fruits et le chocolat sont aussi présents. On retrouve en bouche un rhum doux dont la puissance a été atténuée, mais le boisé est plus perceptible que les notes sucrées habituelles. La finale repose sur des notes épicées et vanillées principalement avec un soupçon de fruits. Un rhum qui n’a rien de révolutionnaire mais qui permet de se détacher de la tradition hispanique pour les néophytes."
Original Admiralty (Blue Label)
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"Very distinctive rum. I cannot say it is a good rum, but it is full of curious olfactory surprises. In my opinion it renders better in the nose than in the mouth. Many nuances on the nose, coffee and well-roasted caramel predominate on the palate with a faint woody note. Medium finish with coffee predominating. The banana that I felt lightly on the nose disappeared on the palate. Fun rum for an out-of-the-box tasting."
Relicario Superior
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"This rum is kind of thin/flat and lacks complexity, but I think it's a good beginner rum. The nose is fruity with oak and vanilla. The palate is fruity and the finish in whisky barrels is clear in the taste. The oak is present and so is smoke and vanilla. The finish is medium and spicy with oak/smoke. "
Hearts Collection - 2002
Top review from Oliver:
"On the nose a great combination of fruits (cherry, apples, mango), citrus and sweet notes (caramel, vanilla). Quite dry on the palate with red fruits (cherries again) and spicy wood notes. Little esters, but a pronounced spiciness and creaminess. Great Jamaican rum with little funk but power."
Cihuatán XAMAN XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a smooth and pleasant Latino rum. It’s a 16yo rum containing rums aged for 15 years in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, and finished for one year in Mayan Ceiba casks. It’s fruity and smoky with aroma and flavor of vanilla and pistachio."
Pyramide 7 Ans
Top review from zabo:
"Verkostet auf der Kirsch Cruise 2024. Für mich ein eher schwächerer aus der Bally Linie. Schön ihn doch mal probieren zu können, aber überzeugt hat er mich leider nicht. Da gibt es weit aus bessere die ich bis dato im Glas hatte. Für mich eher ein "Einsteiger Rum""
Art of Rhum by Vast
Top review from Oliver:
"Tasted for the first time at ProWein in Düsseldorf. Lots of green apple and herbs (dill?) on the nose. On the palate creamy sweet (in a positive sense) and spicy floral. Some nutmeg and green fruits again. After half an hour the rum opens up and you are rewarded with a great balanced profile. Spicy, some floral and a pleasant sweetness. Alcohol very well integrated."
Fumée Volcanique
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A wood-aged rum for cocktails. The barrels in which this cuvée rests have been tampered with, immediately bringing out the empyreumatic notes on the nose. The smokiness, even burnt, of the barrels comes through, as do marshmallow, caramel and toasted almonds. Spices combine with empyreumatic notes to mark a relatively youthful profile. Tropical fruits, including coconut, take pride of place in this promisingly aromatic nose. On the palate, smoky, spicy notes dominate without moderation. Burnt sweetness, vanilla, nuts and a touch of alcohol (Armagnac) make up the bulk of the profile. Fruit is much more in the background. A more concentrated, simplistic profile on the palate. The rather brief finish blends woody, spicy and empyreumatic notes with more grassy and agricultural ones. A certain bitterness emanates on the finish. If the nose announced something innovative, the rest of the profile remains more summary and limited by the low degree and rather succinct aging. A more mature cuvée with this type of profile might be interesting. Nevertheless, this remains a good rum, particularly for bars and cocktails, to which it will add character."
Guetemala Gran Reserva 2018
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"Pleasant, fairly sweet rum with a strong molasses and citrus aroma. For a rum made to please novices, it is produced with skill and commitment. It is a distillate that can be useful as a stepping stone to more complex rums."
Presidente Marti 23 Años
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Retasting and leaving the original note 😊 This is a rum that will surprise most people bacause it's in the cheaper end but delivers none the less. A wonderful fruity nose with molasses, honey and caramel topped off with oak. The palate is nkvmcely balance d though not complex it still manages to be well rounded with fruit, caramel followed by coffee, chocolate and a squeeze of marzipan. The finish is medium long and mild with oak and fruits."
Jamaica XO Extra Old
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"25.05.2019 Sitting at home enjoying some nice samples. Notes Light in colour. Nose Intense, ester, fruity, banana, overripe, light mineral, vanilla, light roasted wood,. Palate Round, spicy, medium dry, fruity, banana, ester, light caramel. Finish Medium long, fruity, warm, light caramel."
Clément XO
Top review from Martin Ekrt:
"I almost forgot the cast sample before disposing of the bottle. Very fine aroma of fruit, apple, nutmeg. The taste is also more subtle. Again, apple, peanuts and bergamot tea, cognac. Similar finish. A very fine rum for easy sipping."
Flor de Caña 25 Años
Top review from cigares :
"A rather expensive rum for its quality, rather good, but it lacks a lot of things, depth of flavour, length, a higher ABV. Can't convince me. Tasted again and it's better than I remember, but clearly lacks watts."
Clément Cuvée Homère Clément
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Enjoying this rum yet again and I still love it. This is one of the few rums carrying the AOC certification! A dry but very complex and well balanced rhum Agricole. The single column copper still in which it was made has given it a lot of flavours not available in normal stills A masterpiece of rum made from molasses showing that with love and care you can make a well aged Rhum Agricole from molasses."
Père Labat Blanc 59
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Poisson Distillery has named their Rhum after Père Labat (Father Labat), a French multi-talented Dominican missionary that among lots of other things also improved the development process of Rhum with the introduction of Charentaise distillation, which is used to make Cognac, that made the Rhum more floral and round instead of sharp and burning."
Ron Antiguo de Solera 12 Años
Top review from Artur Schönhütte:
"Oh boy, at this point I have barely anything to say. There is an army of these types of rum. And they are completely lost in me. Maybe they really excel with cigars but otherwise this is expensive sweetened rum I don't care too much for..."
Rhum Vieux Agricole
Top review from Vincent D:
"Un Bielle boisé, sur l'agrume, la muscade, les épices piquantes. En bouche, c'est léger. Du fruit. De la vanille. La canne aussi . Et une légère sensation de réglisse. Dans la droite ligne de ce que sait produire Bielle. Édit : nouvelle dégustation et le nez est vraiment très agréable. Une sensation de solvant qui ne m'était pas apparue initialement. Beaucoup d'épices. Vraiment typique. Vraiment réussi."
Brut de Fût
Top review from cigares :
"A rum tasted at the WLP and in Cologne. A warm nose with walnuts, Cementit, old hemp rope and, above all, rapeseed flowers. A fairly lively attack on the palate, with leather, glue and wood, followed by fruit, yellow fruit and apple. A long, elegant finish. A fine rum, all elegance except on the attack."
Black Edition Alligator
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Bought this Rhum from Catawiki to a very good price together with some other bottles. Karukera is produced by the Esperance distillery in Guadeloupe that also produces Longuetau. Karukera is the name the indigenous people called their island which means 'The island of beautiful waters'. It’s distilled in the distillery’s column still, but the details how it has been aged differs, some says for seven years in French bourbon and cognac barrels others says five years in new charred barrels. Maybe there are two different ones. Overall a super smooth and round Rhum that probably is a very good introduction to Rhum from Guadeloupe."
Stade’s Rum JAWS Barbados
Top review from zabo:
"Edit: Tried it again in a freestyle tiki, it's definitely a lot better there, so it's been adjusted upwards a little. How should I start? Blindly, I wouldn't guess Barbados but Jamaica. Gives a nice ester taste. But what I personally find annoying is that I have such a sugar taste on my lips afterwards. Unfortunately, this makes it too sweet for me, more like a liqueur, spiced rum or definitely with dosage. Even though it's not supposed to have any dosage. Unfortunately, that breaks its neck, I probably had too high expectations."
Cihuatán Sahumerio
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"very fiery, spicy, sweet, exciting complex rum and a worthy successor to the previous limited editions of Cihuatan! in the finish it gets really fiery and wicked again... Unusual but delicious! Still not my favorite..."
Master Select 1703
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"I rated the precursor, the “Old Cask 1703”, quite low, probably because it was my first contact with English styled rum. Now I appreciate this rum a lot and I will probably upgrade my rating of the “Old Cask 1703” if I make a retest."
New Grove Old Tradition 10
Top review from cigares :
"Un rhum dégusté au Rhum Fest en 2024. Un nez avec des écorces d’agrumes, des fruits pas très mûrs, comme une amertume. Une bouche un peu monolithique sur les agrumes. La finale développe une petite acidité. Un rhum intéressant mais pas passionnant non plus."
Doorly’s 8 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a good everyday rum, especially when taking the price into account. The brand Doorly’s was founded in 1908 by Martin Doorly & Company, but is since 1992 owned and some years later produced by Foursquare and Mr. Richard Seale. The 8yo is a rather new bottling in the Doorly’s line-up that saw the light of day in 2016, in the beginning mentioned for the Australian market. It’s a single blended rum, a combination of column and pot still, aged in former bourbon casks of American oak whereafter it’s bottled without any dosage or additives at 40%."
Cuvée Prestige vieilli 9 ans
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"A great Agricole with fantastic flavors that really explodes in your mouth. The nose is fruity and spicy. At the palate it’s complex, intense, round, fruity, spicy and sweet with flavors of licorice and sugarcane."
Patridom Seleccion Exclusiva
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Rebranded by Ron Esclavo, this juice is intended to be gentle and simplistic enough to appeal to as many people as possible. On the nose, scents of raisin and dried fruit mingle with oak, caramel, sweet vanilla spices and nuts. It's enticing enough for someone just discovering it, but bland enough for a finer nose. On the palate, the chocolate comes through with coffee, caramel, spices and raisin. It's mellow, sweet, without much complexity, just an easy-drinking candy for aperitifs. No need to wonder whether the alcohol is well integrated here. The finish is surprisingly longer than expected, but the aromas remain simple and identical to those described: sugar, coffee, caramel, raisins, chocolate, vanilla and light oak. A small rum for small occasions."
Caraibes
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club some time ago. Compagnie des Indes Caraibes is a blend of rums from Guyana, Barbados and Trinidad. The color is quite pale and I haven’t found anything about aging, but I suppose it’s a quite young rum. I don’t recognize rum from Guyana or Barbados in the blend, so I suppose it’s mostly rum from Trinidad in the blend. Overall it’s too bland for my taste and nothing to write home about."
Diplomático / Botucal Single Vintage
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Pretty OK compared to the other previous releases. Still on the sweet side and good for beginners and dessert or an everyday rum. The nose is sweet with dried fruit, vanilla and a hint og oak. In the back i can fint a little coffee. The palate is sweet with fruit, vanilla and light chocolate. The oily palate also offers smoky oak with sherry notes. The finish is medium long with dried fruit and oak with a hint of chocolate. The nose the day after eminating from the glass is lovely."
Dos Maderas 5 Years + 3 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The base in this rum is a blend of 5yo rum from Guyana (DDL) and Barbados (a little unclear if it comes from WIRD or Foursquare, seen both data) aged in the Caribbean. I’ve taste this and I can clearly recognize Demerara at this stage. This base are after arriving to Jerez, Spain, aged for 3 more Solera years in barrels earlier contained Dos Cortados Sherry which is very dry. I think it’s quite good even if it can’t compete with my favorite Sherry finished rum, but it’s in my opinion much better than the 5+5."
Companero Ron Gran Reserva
Top review from Tim :
"Rather weak, hardly any flavors present, especially in the mouth and aftertaste. The base spirit was probably already not good, but the rum was watered down too much, but still has a rather alcoholic sharpness."
Lontan 57.5 Grand Arôme
Top review from Oliver:
"Extremely fruity pineapple note - pure summer! Just the right level of power on the palate paired with typical Grand Arôme aromas. Great fun on its own and also makes really tasty daiqiris. An absolute recommendation in the white rum segment!"
Single Estate Series Release 23 | 01 | Bn_Qa
Top review from DomM:
"Lively on the nose underlining its relative young age. Young wood and a jam of (fresh) apples and cinnamon come to my mind. This is rather interesting. Also nice on the palate. Doesn’t hide its young age but is quite enjoyable. Some sweetness with coconuts and vanilla. Basket of continental fruits with some cinnamon again. Side note to the (European) pricing: absolutely not worth EUR 350-400 unfortunately imho."
3 Stars 4 Years
Top review from cigares :
"Un rhum goûté au Lucerne Gin and Rum Festival 2024. Un nez d’agricole avec des herbes amères, un côté doux/sucré et des fruits jaunes. La bouche commence avec douceur, les arômes grandissent et l’alcool prend le dessus. La finale est courte avec du bois amer. Pas un rhum très intéressant, mais bien fait et agréable à boire."
Providence Haitian Rum Blanc „Dunder & Syrup“
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"#4885 Whisky Live in Paris 27.09.2024-30.09.2024. Another great event meeting a lot of RumX new and old friends. This year three weren't as many new releases as in 2023, but I still had a great time. Nose Round, vegetal, light floral, citrus, sugarcane, spice, faint smoke, faint anise. Palate Medium oily, fresh, balanced, vegetal, light herbal, citrus, light anise, light metallic, faint rubber, faint apple, medium spicy, faint smoke. Finish Medium long, fresh, balanced, fruits, light pineapple, citrus, faint smoke, medium oily, medium spicy. Considering the price for this bottle you get a lot for your money."
Clément Vieux 10 ans
Top review from Tim :
"Very tart and dry notes on the nose, only honey provides some contrast. Typical Agricole, but a bit thin. Full attack in the mouth: sharp, dry, herbal. In the finish, surprisingly, more fruit (apricot) and sweet sugar cane shines through again. Overall, however, the rum does not convince me."
Black Barrel Double Casks Blend
Top review from Rumpalumpa:
"I really like this Mount Gay because it tastes great but is also very affordable, so you can mix a cocktail with it from time to time. The ageing in freshly distilled barrels is very clear, so it is very reminiscent of bourbon."
Chairman’s Reserve 1931
Top review from Mirko Frosini 🇮🇪:
"A rum between Spanish, French and English thanks to a hybrid distillation. Well balanced and not too intense with a pleasant caramel and never cloying thanks also to the barrel/oak aroma with a coffee, chocolate and lychee/mango finish giving it depth. Medium-long finish."
Rhum Premium Ambre
Top review from Sven :
"Für nur ein Jahr Reifung intensive Aromen. Riecht nach Holz, Karamell, Zitrusmarmelade aber auch frisch pflanzlich bisschen Eukalyptus. Im Geschmack die gleichen Aromen wie in der Nase plus eine gewisse süße. Leckere Abfüllung mit intensiven Geschmack, gefällt mir gut. Gekauft 2023 in Bordeaux. Hätte blind nie auf ein Jahr Reifung getippt, sondern eher VSOP."
Admiral Rodney HMS Formidable
Top review from MarcT:
"Got this as a present for Christmas, never reviewed it. Strange! To the nose it reminds me of a sweet and sour, think sirupy Marmelade, of the sort I would like to have on my toast, right now. On the tongue, it's more of the same, more wood. Unfortunately is a bit watery, due to the low ABV, but does also gjve a long and heavy mouthfeel. What that would have been at a higher ABV. In the end there is a bit freshness as well... Mint perhaps? It's faint. It must be said, however, that this bottle has been open for quite some time now, and thus had lots time to breathe. The Rum is well made, for the mainstream market obviously, but makes a nice uncomplicated drink by the side. Enjoy! I finished this bottle now, and found that time did not do it well on the end. It got a bit watery in taste, which makes me subtract a point."
Grande Réserve - Vieilli 7 ans
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"It has clear similarities with the “Cuvée Prestige”, but a little less intense. The nose is fruity and spicy with aromas of vanilla. At the palate it’s fruity, spicy, sweet and complex with flavors of licorice and vanilla. The finish is long and complex."
Kirk and Sweeney 12 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Another nice tasting finished, this time with rums from the Domenican Republic. This one was better than the 18 year old version. Vanilla and butterscotch (to some extent) dominate this rum. A very gentle and uncomplex rum, but at the price tag pretty good. "
El Dorado 12 (2020 Release)
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Had 6cl of it after a better dinner at a local restaurant. It’s long time ago since I tasted the old 12yo with 35gpl sugar, but I’m pretty sure I like this new one with 6gpl sugar better. Overall an pleasant well balanced rum with a certain complexity."
Père Labat 8 Ans Très Vieux
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"At the palate and during the finish it’s perfectly alright, but the nose is very unpleasant. The price is very way too high, but I found my bottles at an Spanish webshop to the third of the normal price which make it price worthy for me."
Rhum Blanc 62
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This rum from the Esperance distillery, which also produces the Karukera brand, is produced from the blue and red canes of the estate. Fermented in a natural way, without any additives and then distilled on a traditional Savalle column whereafter it’s just slightly watered down with the offspring water from the Soufrière volcano before bottled at the estate. Overall an powerful Agricole that despite the high ABV is very smooth and quite mild. I’ve also tested it in a Ti Punch, and it was great. So I understand that it’s very popular locally in Guadeloupe."
XO

"#4209 This is a very mild release and I'd have loved a higher ABV. Fruity and fresh with a lightly dry palate. There is a nice floral touch to the profile. The empty glass has some mint and light smoke. Price to quality is pretty good."
Plantation Venezuela One-Time
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"#4277 02.10.2023 Thinking about the price tag you get a lot for your money. This is also a rum suited for beginners once rested. Medium fruity profile with nice spices amd roasted wood notes. The palate is light and lives up to the nose. The finish is medium long and has some added orange to it. The empty glass has very light chocolate notes to it."
Plantation Stiggins‘ Fancy Pineapple Smoky Formula
Top review from rum_sk:
"A nicer version of the basic Stiggins' Fancy. It is more flavorful, fuller in the body and everything but not even distantly reminiscent of smoke, peat or whisky. At all 😀. Is it a problem? Kind of, since I was excited about the smokiness or whisky aftertaste but do not get me wrong it is great, better than the regular one just not what I was expecting in terms of what has been advertised. It is little spicy in a good way, lot of sweet taste and a really prominent pineapple, not like in the regular version which seems like diluted smoky formula now. I like it. I even forgive the big fuss around the non-existent smokiness. The finish is kind of short to medium long. Also it is a little bit bitter in the aftertaste. Is that ,,it,,? The smoky formula? Charred barrel? Who knows. I like it though, it is better than it's older sibling which is more suitable to drinks and cocktails. Retaste 30.4.: F...me not sure whether it is a new glass that I have or it is because I had around 20+ rums in 24hrs but I can sense the peat now. A lot. Rest still holds true."
Don Q Single Barrel
Top review from Frank:
"Times not high-level rum and still without additives... you can try. Did not know Don Q yet. Clearly a representative of the Spanish style.Nose: fruity-woody and as the first light cigar tobacco, wrapped in vanilla and toffee. The fruit goes in the direction of green apple with some lemon. Seems quite light overall, the alcohol stings a bit despite being only 49%. Fairly ok. 72Palate: spicy-woody and tobacco here as well. A bit spicy at first though and slightly salty-bitter, pepper with a hint of caraway. Overall a bit short and flat. 68Not bad, but not interesting enough either. The tobacco note, however, I find quite good."
Montebello Rhum Vieux 6 ans
Top review from Vincent D:
"Nez très fruité avec une pomme verte et un citron vert bien présents. Très végétal également. Les marqueurs du nez disparaissent en bouche avec un profil beaucoup plus boisé, huileux, sur le cuir et une touche minérale très fraiche. C'est plutôt sympa. Finale boisée et herbacée, un poil trop courte."
Tahiti
Top review from Martin Augustin:
"In der Nase hat er zwar starke Frucht- und Floralenoten. Das wird allerdings negativ überlagert von Jod und starkem Alkohol. Geschmacklich ist der Alkohol dann besser eingebunden. Dazu sehr fruchtige Noten mit viel Limetten. Der Abgang ist dann erstaunlich kurz."

Top review from TheJackDrop:

HSE Kilchoman Single Cask Finish
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"HSE Kilchoman finish is a special mix from two great regions, Martinique and Islay. The rum was aged in the tropics for 6 years and then finished for 4 months in whisky barrels. It was distilled in November 2013 and bottled in February 2020 in just 4100 bottles. Overall a quite elegant rum that must be perfect for people loving whisky that wa"
Réserve Spéciale Rhum Vieux Agricole
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"First off the price matches what you get. A medium fruity rum with a warm/spicy touch on the palate. I like the light nutty notes and the empty glass reveals even stronger notes of chocolate and wood."
Brut de Colonne
Top review from crazyforgoodbooze:
"Hard to describe. Reminds me somehow of sambuca or ouzo because of the licorice and anise / fennel notes. Overall rather sweet salty and slightly bitter. Alcohol is not particularly disturbing but the basic flavor is just not my thing. In ti punch then something like pear and fig comes to the fore, as well as salty peanuts. Quite nice but I do not have to have again."
Opthimus 25 Años
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"Retasting and leaving the original note 😊 This is a really good rum and also one for beginners because the proof is lower than normal. Easy to drink and enjoy with friends that may not like the more biting rums. The nose is sweet with the barrel to it and then some caramel. The palate is heavily influenced by the molasses and it almost ruins the taste for me. Fruity and the barrel is clearly there. The finish is sweet and medium long with a touch of fruits and oak."

Top review from Timo Groeger:
"La Route des Rhums Adventskalender 2023 Nr. 7. Hierbeinn42%iger Trois Riviers aus Martinique. Nase finde ich sehr erfrischend, irgendwie funk, außerdem holzig und etwas Vanille. Am Gaumen dann überwiegend Holz, Fass und Gewürze, aber sehr lecker."
Master Blender Collection The Madeira Cask Expression
Top review from Oliver:
"The Madeira barrel and higher alcohol content give the rum a nice boost of complexity. Reminds by the coconut and toasty Kako associations of a very good Foursquare. Column still quite dominant, nevertheless great rum!"
Rhum Bielle Premium Blanc
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Was the best Agricole Blanc that I’d tasted when I first tasted it and it’s still one of the best. The nose is fresh and round with aromas of fruits and spices. At the palate it’s still round but also savory and rather complex with flavors of fruits and spices."

Heritage
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Got a sample of this rum from RR Tasting Club. Emperor Rum Heritage is a blend of aged rums from the distillation of pure and fresh sugarcane juice and molasses. Overall a rum that I mostly characterize as a Spanish styled rum thats too sweet for me."
10 Ans d’Âge Rhum Vieux
Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" 🤓:
"Hmm, for a ten-year-old already quite expressive. Found the rum with its power and unobtrusive sweetness, which was felt especially in the finish, pure really not bad. In a cocktail probably a challenge.Must I try again on occasion."
Cuvée L‘Essentiel
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This is an exceptional Rhum from Saint James. It’s a blend of the vintages of 1998, 2000 and 2003 all of them aged for over 12 years in small bourbon casks. I can really recommend it, even though the average price is a little high at around €180."
Genesis XO
Top review from Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰:
"#4206 Wow, this is a bomb of flavours. I rested it for 30 minutes before giving it a go because it's pretty powerful when poured. Pretty fresh and intense with fruits and light wood and spice. I like the light smoky and marzipan note in the profile. The palate is dry and warm and pretty well balanced. The empty glass has some light coconut and nutty notes."
Rhum Vieux Agricole
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A well-crafted, well-structured aged rum. The nose, with its minty, vegetal freshness, woody notes and dried and nutty fruits, is slightly lifted by sweet spices for a harmonious, pleasing whole. On the palate, the attack is darker, carried by wood, leather, spices and toasted, toasted notes. A touch of dried fruit and an agricultural, vegetal influence form the background. The result is a fairly dry rum with a nice roundness, easily approachable and gourmet. The finish, of decent length, displays the sweetness of cane and fruit, the dryness of wood and spices, and the roundness of floral notes. A very respectable entry-level rum offering a profile that's both easy-drinking and evolving."
Clément Très Vieux Cuvée l’Elixir
Top review from cigares :
"A pretty package for a not very convincing rum. There are many cheaper and more interesting agricoles. That said, this is a successful rum, but it lacks diversified aromas and depth. Rather poor value for money."
Trinidad Oloroso Sherry Finish 2017
Top review from X-Savior:
"On The Rocks: On the nose you get a balanced mixture of fruit, floral, spice and oak. Taste reveals a very strong spice, alcoholic and sherry presence. The finish is long with the sherry sweetened slowly fading away with a bit of a buttery feel in the mouth. There is a slight delayed burn in the back of your throat. This is a very interesting rum and presents like a much more expensive rum. It is a nice sipper that can be enjoyed on the rocks. Mixed Pepsi Zero: On the nose old sherry cask. Taste is moderately sweet with sherry notes shining through. Finish is short but nice, but not vanishing instantly. This could be enjoyed nicely either mixed or on the rocks."
XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"A great Rhum that’s very smooth and elegant on the palate and during the finish. The only negative is that the nose is a little weak. The nose is spicy and woody with aromas of sugarcane. At the palate and during the rather long finish it’s also spicy and woody but also floral, complex and very smooth with flavors of dried fruit."
Special Cask Release #5 Port
Top review from Galli33:
"Very cool Worthy Park! Powerfull, delicious, Funky with cool Cherry notes 🤤 The port barrel is noted, but it isn’t overwhelming! I like it a lot, especially the mix of various fruits. The alcohol is integrated well and give it a nice depth."
