DiplomĂĄtico / 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."
Ron Zacapa Solera Centenario 23
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"This is a very well balanced rum from Zacapa and I like is a lot especially considering the price tag. The nose is heavy with spice and sweetness and a touch of orange zest and chocolate. The palate is well rounded with caramel, honey and chocolate topped of with burnt oak and overripe fruits. It has a long, sweet and fruity finish with burnt oak. I'd say this one is better than the bottling from the late 90s and early 00s that won medals. Price to quality is very good. "
Bumbu The Original
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"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. "
Pampero Aniversario
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"Tried to use this rum in a rum/raisin cake and the result was amazing. This is a rum in the cheaper end of the spectrum and it's definitely a good beginner rum. Not as sweet as the rums from Riise, but getting close to it. The nose is light and sweet with chocolate, vanilla and oak with a touch of butterscotch. The palate is sweet with chokolate and nougat, but it also has a slight bitterness with nuts and fruits. The endof the palate has smoke to it. The finish is sweet with smoky leather and vanilla. Price to quality is very good."
Doorlyâs 14 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"The nose on this rum is really nice and it may remind you of some of the Last Ward rums, not as complex but very well balanced. The palate has been perfectly rounded with the perfect proof. So no alcohol dominance but a perfect balance. The orange really shines through and the price to quality is very good. "
Dictador 12 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"Had a very nice Dictador tasting this Sunday and this is the first one of the six. Despite this one being a young rum from the destillery it still manages to be very complex with a very nice nose and palate. The vanilla is perfectly matched with the rest and the finish is long and has a bit of smoke to it. All in all a very good price tag for this bottle. This bottle won gold at the International Rum Expert Panel 2010."
Ron Zacapa Centenario XO Solera (3. Edition)
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"This nice sipper has to rest for a while before nosing or you'll get a punch of alcoholic blast. The nose is wonderfully smooth even velvety I'd say. Smoky wood and fruity with toffee and spices. The palate is complex and very well balanced with smoky oak and spices and a hint of the cognac cask it was finished in. The finish is long and sweet with spices and coffee and once again a hint of the cognac cask."
Flor de Caña 12 Años
Top review from Leo Tomczak:
"Tangy hazelnut liqueur with a slightly burning finish. Certainly sweetened, colored and flavored to spice up the neutral alcohol. Let's see how it performs in cola. It performs as expected in cola, although there's not much you can do wrong. Therefore a slight upgrade to 30. Nice and unobtrusive with ginger beer."
Dictador 20 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"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. "
Gunpowder Proof (Black Label)
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Itâs possible to find the Gunpowder Proof in three different blends. The oldest one consists of rum from Guyana, Trinidad and Barbados. After that it came with a blend of Guyana and Trinidad rum. The latest one just consists of different rum from Guyana. The one I review here is the latest one. I think itâs quite complex with a good balance between sweetness and dryness."
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 Barbados 5 Years
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"Not as sweet as many of the other Plantation rums but still sweet enough that you get it on the nose. It's a light easy to drink rum that you can sip or use in a cocktail. It does lack complexity but you can't expect that from 5 years of aging. Price to quality is good."
El Pasador XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall an OK Latino rum with a little too weak taste. Itâs fruity, spicy and sweet without being extremely sweet. Recognizable aromas and flavors is raisins, coconut, vanilla, pepper, chocolate and caramel."
VSOP Spéciale Réserve
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"A remarkable VSOP thatâs very balanced and elegant. The only one of those Iâve tasted that can compete is the 8yo from Dillon. Significant scents and flavors are prunes, grass, sugarcane, vanilla, licorice and tobacco."
Exceptional Cask Selection XV Redoutable
Top review from Oliver:
"Wonderful rum from the Foursquare distillery! Spicy, full-bodied and delicious. In the nose surprise floral notes, which I did not know from Foursquare so. From the profile it goes towards really good Tropical Guyana Column! Very good!"
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.đđœ overall, however, it is a bit woody and one-dimensional but nicely orangey. I find the indigo better in terms of plv."
Millésime
Top review from cigares :
"Tasted with the Depaz XO prestige, it is better in the mouth and the finish is more interesting despite a lower price. The nose is less interesting than the XO. In mouth a peaty side absent in the nose, dried fruits and tropical fruits. The finish is floral with violet."
Equiano
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Had a retest led by the co-founder Mr. Ian Burrell during the Pre-party to Sweden Rumfest at Cane Rum Society in Stockholm which confirmed my earlier review. The added picture is from the first test. ââââââââââââââ-Bought 2*3 cl of this rum, a blend from Mauritius (Grayâs) and Barbados (Foursquare). Itâs good, but I expected more cause itâs Richard Seale and Ian Burrell thatâs behind it. Overall I think itâs a quite great rum, but a little too weak. Itâs unsweetened, but there are some sweetness so I think it maybe could be something for people who likes sweet rum that want to develop their rum drinking into less sweetened rum."
Gran Reserva Solera 23 Años
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"They have added this big brother to the 15 year old and it's much better. They're still not there yet though they hav managed to make this one heavier in the taste. I think the idea with this version was to try and challenge Zacapa and El Dorado, but they still have some way to go. For the price though, this is a good rum. "
XO Grande RĂ©serve
Top review from Zucker und Zeste:
"A balanced and very well-balanced rhum with finesse and a very nice interplay of fruitiness and wood spice. The price is also fine for me. I am very positively surprised that the fruity notes make it to the palate so beautifully."
15 Years Black River Casks
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"This new release is more on the roasted side than the other ones. Lightly fruity with vanilla and wonderful caramel. On the palate there is wonderful roasted wood and I find it nice and round with and oily feel on the tongue. Price to quality is very good in my mind."
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."
Clairin Communal Blend des Quatres Communes
Top review from Mirko Frosini đźđȘ:
"Nice white rum! Great to drink mixed and neat. Price under 30 euros make it a great choice! Less aggresive than the other clairins it is probably the most lovable along with Sajous."
Les ĂphĂ©mĂšres - N°6
Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" đ€:
"Hmm, heretical question: could it possibly be that this rhum is generally overrated in the euphoric exuberance in the face of a four-piece set perfectly prepared for collectors? đ€ Too much advance praise? I certainly had to drink it in first. đł After the typical notes of whitewashed wall dominate the nose, the rhum on the palate lacks almost everything that fascinated me about the first release in the series. Only towards the end, on the finish, is there a certain spicy power that compensates somewhat for the seemingly arbitrary impression on the palate. Nevertheless, no comparison with the divine No. 1, rather with the already weakening No. 7 (even if a direct crosstasting is still pending). I wouldn't have thought so. Bad form on the day? Update 2023-04-14: No, it's not due to poor form on the day. đ€·ââïž Tasted today directly against the already legendary Les EphemĂ©res No. 1. The No. 6 can make up a little ground (80 instead of 78 points), but can't hold a candle to the No. 1, remains somehow one-dimensional. Update 2024-02-11: Tasted again in parallel with the Saint James/Excellence Rhum (RX18129) from the same distillation year. Result as expected: Les Ephemeres No. 6 is in no way a match for the Excellence Rhum. Strangely enough, it has an unpleasant smell of inferior glue on the nose today, at least initially, and an inappropriate sharpness on the palate; the agricole seems unround overall - all in direct comparison to RX18129, mind you. Tasted individually, it would certainly score better. It remains at 80 points."
DiplomĂĄtico / Botucal Ambassador Selection
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This is the best Diplomatico there is out there. The Single Vintages is also OK but canât really compete, but I donât think itâs really living up to the high price, but still a must have at my Spanish shelf. Picture: My Diplomatico shelf by moment."
Zafra Master Reserve 21
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"A wonderful balanced nose a bit woody with vanilla. Leave it for 15 minutes and the flavours come running at you even without putting your nose to the glass. The palate shows a well rounded full body rum with an extremely long finish. Leaving the glass after you finish will reveal a wonderful woody/spice nose."
Canne Grise
Top review from Timo Groeger:
"La Route des Rhums Adventskalender 2023 Nr. 11. Hier ein Bielle Agricole mit 58% ABV. Auch ein sehr Zitrusfruchtlastiger Agricole, wie immer eigentlich. Kommt in der Nase frisch daher, nur ich finde man merkt den Alkohol zu sehr, aber alles in allem sehr gut."
Clairin Sonson
Top review from Mirko Frosini đźđȘ:
"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!"
Plein Soleil
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"26-27.01.2024 Hanse Spirits. Retasting this and I still thing this is a very good rum at the price tag. ------------------- This one was a huge surprise so I'll have to get a few for my tastings. Price to quality is very good and a must try for most. Try to add a piece of lime zest and the rum just comes to life. We tried a new unfinished version that was over 70% and it was even better. That one I'd be interested in as well đ"
New Grove Emotion
Top review from Gunnar Böhme "Bauerngaumen" đ€:
"It is rare, far too rare, to discover a diamond among pebbles. And if it happens by chance, it's all the more incredible. But it actually happened with this rum! I'm still blown away. The rum already promises a lot on the nose and reminds me of an old Demerara. So tempting that I can't wait to taste it. Very fruity on the palate, overripe blackcurrants? The alcohol is more perfectly integrated than I have ever experienced with any other rum. The maximum has really been extracted from the 47% vol. The only small drawback: a slight lack of depth and intensity due to the low ABV. But such a small "impurity" is easy to get over with such a fine diamond, isn't it? Top rum under the radar. Update 2023-10-06: The rum remains a top product for me, but has found its champion in the Savoir Faire 2009 with 60% (RX2744). Update 2023-10-18: Tasting again against the RX2744, this time direct. And I have to say that a direct comparison is really enlightening - and doesn't end well for the Emotion 1969 ... It seems like the league leader of the 2nd division playing at the top level in its class against a Champions League team ... đ Try it out and you'll find it confirmed. RumX Advent calendar 09.12.2023 (blind tasting) I wrote in the appropriate place before solving the puzzle: Yes, on the nose I'm also more with FS, although what's amazing here is that you really perceive zero alcohol! A completely different rum on the palate: Not warm-caramel like on the nose, but clearly red-fruity and a little spicy. And what do I always associate with red fruit? That's right, Mauritius! :blush: Since this rum is not an alcohol monster, but rather under 50% vol. I'm guessing RX2495. Of course, it could also be another New Grove from Grays with around 45% vol. as there are still a few around ... Or maybe even a TDL. In any case, I like the rum very much. :yum::yum::yum:"
Brut de fût
Top review from zabo:
"For me personally, this is a little too woody and barrel-heavy. After a few tastings of various Saint James, I would rank this one in the lower midfield. Unfortunately, this profile doesn't really appeal to me at the moment."
Cambridge STCâ€ïžE
Top review from Oliver:
"Lots of marzipan and varnish on the nose. Incredibly intense and complex on the palate. Slightly acidic, spicy and fruity. The 18 years of tropical maturation produce an absolute top release. One of my highlights at Whisky Live Paris 2023."
Don Papa Sherry Cask
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"This is a rum which was finished in 5 different casks. First finish is done in American oak bourbon casks and then 18 months in 4 different sherry casks; Fino, Pedro Ximinez, Cream and Palo Cortado. A very nice long velvety finish. "
Pyramide 7 Ans
Top review from zabo:
"Verkostet auf der Kirsch Cruise 2024. FĂŒr mich ein eher schwĂ€cherer aus der Bally Linie. Schön ihn doch mal probieren zu können, aber ĂŒberzeugt hat er mich leider nicht. Da gibt es weit aus bessere die ich bis dato im Glas hatte. FĂŒr mich eher ein "Einsteiger Rum""
CihuatĂĄn XAMAN XO
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Overall a smooth and pleasant Latino rum. Itâs a 16yo rum containing rums aged for 15 years in American oak ex-Bourbon casks, and finished for one year in Mayan Ceiba casks. Itâs fruity and smoky with aroma and flavor of vanilla and pistachio."
Papalin RĂ©union
Top review from Rodolphe:
"I wasn't a fan of the Papalin range until now. But La Velier has come up with a very good Reunionese at a nice price. It's a perfect representation of the rhums trad found there, with the fruity side of the grand aroma, present but not overpowering. It drinks well, is pleasant, vegetal, floral, woody and fruity. A great success. In the end, it's what I expected from savanna's Le Must, which doesn't emphasize the fruitiness of the grand arĂŽme enough. This is the case here."
Fruits des Pluies
Top review from Vincent D:
"Tasted initially at Rhum Fest 2023. Fresher and more lemony than the bottle from the other parcel. Very pleasant. Tasted again in the quiet and found it to be a very successful rum. A surprising sweetness accompanies a well-marked cane with a strong lemon note. Very fresh. A great success."
El Dorado Rare Collection EHP
Top review from Oliver:
"Very inviting nose with dried apricots, raisins and delicate chocolate notes.The palate can then unfortunately not quite keep up with the fantastic nose. Slight alcoholic spiciness perceptible - was briefly even with unsweetened, Spanish style at barrel strength. But that is criticism at a high level. Relatively dry, spicy and pleasant wood notes.Very nice Enmore!"
VSOP
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Saint James VSOP is an AOC rum from pure cane juice made in a traditional Creole column. thatâs aged between 4 and 6 years. The nose is woody, spicy, sweet and fruity with aromas of oak, vanilla and dandelion. At the palate itâs woody and spicy with flavors of pepper, leather and honey. The finish is medium long, fruity and woody with flavors of oak and dried fruit."
Art of Rhum by Vast
Top review from Oliver:
"Tasted for the first time at ProWein in DĂŒsseldorf. 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."
El Pasador Gran Reserva
Top review from BTHHo đ„:
"Strangely enough, it does not carry much through in the taste, which is really nice and buttery smooth. Fantastic balance between sweet and dry - Hint of vanilla and spice, where the spice carries through, but the vanilla leaves quickly, but here we have a nice long and pleasant aftertaste đ„đ"
Presidente Marti 23 Años
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"Retasting and leaving the original note đ 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."
El Dorado Rare Collection VSG
Top review from cigares :
"A rum decried by the RumX community and praised by Serge Valentin. So I had to buy it and taste it. I was rather disappointed when I opened the bottle, but I'm familiar with the phenomenon... A nose of old leather, flambéed banana, brown sugar and tea, with good concentration. A slightly peaty palate with fat and brown sugar. The finish is abrupt, but honey and cask reappear after a while. The empty glass is splendid with previously hidden aromas. Apart from the fact that this rum is too lively when opened, I find nothing but good in it. It's perfectly balanced and deep. It could have a slightly broader aromatic palette, but then it would be one of the great Demerara rums. Buy it before it disappears from the shelves."
El Dorado Rare Collection PM
Top review from Zucker und Zeste:
"Needs some time in the glass but then shows multilayered flavors that come together, I think, very elegant. He has quite a lot of force to which you have to get used briefly. Unusually, I find the quite present saltiness. A few drops of water I also find not wrong."
35th Release Heavy Trinidad Rum (Trespassers) HTR
Top review from Jakob:
"Epic Velier Caroni Tasting 2023: Very aromatic and intense, the high alcohol adds punch but also expressiveness. Lots of vanilla melt on the palate and finish. Excellent 1996 Caroni, although not quite at the top of the vintage."

Top review from cigares :
"Un rhum goĂ»tĂ© au Rum and Gin Festival Ă Lucerne en 2023 et 2024. Un nez trĂšs vĂ©gĂ©tal, floral avec de lâolive verte, des fruits jaunes et du lierre. La bouche est pleine dâarĂŽmes avec beaucoup dâolive verte et toutes sortes dâherbes et des fruits.

"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..."
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'. Itâs distilled in the distilleryâs 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."
Ron de Jeremy XO
Top review from Tim :
"The smell is still the best thing about this rum, then in the mouth is the total crash. With almost 100g / L actually already a liqueur, yet the sugar does not manage to round off the sharpness in the mouth and aftertaste. The extreme sweetness and spiciness is irritating and one wonders why so much sugar was added at all if a certain spiciness was intended. This rum is a strange accident."
Clément Selection Exclusive (Batch 2)
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"I just got two bottles of this limited release and I'd say it's pretty good. I scored this one a bit lower but price to quality is very good. Lightly fruity with spices and roasted wood in near perfect harmony. A well balanced rum and I recommend leaving the empty glass for a while and then whiff it again because that is a nice experience."

Angostura 1787
Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"Retasting and it did lose some points đ ------- This one concludes this week's tastings. Angostura has done it again. Another great rum and this one is a tad better than their 12 year old. This one was blended by John George's and he did a really good job. After blending it matured for 15 years in oak and you can taste that oak. A fruity well balanced rum with a long and full bodied finish."
Ron Quorhum 12 Años Solera
Top review from Timo Groeger:
"Dieser Quorhum ist gar nicht schlecht. Angenehme Noten von Karamell und Honig in der Nase und am Gaumen. Ich finde es ist ein sehr milder Rum, den Alkohol spĂŒrz man kaum. Hat eine leichte, aber angenehme SĂŒsse. Ganz ok fĂŒr zwischendurch."
Exceptional Cask Selection XXIII Covenant
Top review from Dr.Django:
"Today there are two Foursquare: 1. covenant: This one tastes like it looks. Lots of dark fruit, somewhat leathery and dry on the palate. The cask influence is very strong, almost too strong. You have to know what you're getting into, but if you like it, you won't be disappointed. The alcohol is well integrated. Delicious Foursquare that I could imagine really enjoying from time to time! 2nd Absolutio: Awesome piece! There are no surprises on the nose or palate in terms of aromas. Mouth-filling, starts silky and pleasantly oily towards the finish. Pleasantly (dry) woody and chocolaty-fruity, great balance. The finish is very long and offers an interplay between dried fruit wrapped in chocolate and wood. I particularly like rums with these long, great finishes and that's what makes this rum for me! Wonderful, now it's "Hunters must hunt" Many thanks to Schnubbii!"
Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 23 BMMG
Top review from Galli33:
"This is a very atypical but delicious Rum from Mount Gayđ€€Blind youâll never say this is a MG đ The alcohol is integrated well. Some atypical tastes in mouth and finish with some notes of licorice, tobacco and a nice taste of the oak barrel. Itâs an awesome everyday rum with a good price per value ratio. I see this one slightly behind the 2000 MG from S.B.S Update: Found some nice licorice and rubber notes đ The second sip was a lot better, more impressive. By far the best from mount gayđ€€đ€€ enjoyed it a lot"

Brut de colonne - Bio
Top review from Fasen :
"This rum is a real juice straight out of the cane which the sugar of it would have candied. Very vegetable notes (Green / Hay / Earthy / Sap / Olive / Grass), of citrus fruits (Lemon / Lime) which brings a beautiful freshness (Smooth), it is mineral, slightly spicy (Pepper / Cinnamon / Vanilla (at the end of mouth)), we also find a beautiful sweetness (Honey / Cooked sugar) In short we just have the impression to crunch in a cane gorged of sugar and sun it is very good and pleasant to drink!"
Art of Rum by Yann le Gall
Top review from cigares :
"A rum tasted at the Rhum Fest in 2024 and at the Masterclass for RumX 2024. A nose that vacillates between dark, woody, spicy, very lightly tarred and fruity (pear) and vegetal. The freshness is perhaps a little lacking. The palate is fruity with spices, wood and less vegetal than on the nose. The finish is rather short on yellow fruit and citrus. Spices and a hint of tar at the very end. The empty glass is beautiful."
English Harbour Reserve 10 Years
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"The molasses is bought from Dom.Rep. and Guyana. After distillation itâs aged in former bourbon barrels of American oak, which are charred, for between 10 and 25 years. To enhance the oak taste is a handful of oak chips added to each barrel. In my opinion is it a great rum that overall is very dry and oaky."
Ron Añejo 8 Años
Top review from zabo:
"Almost the nightcap of the evening, another CubaLibre mixed with DomM from this rum. At least I think so. It tasted much better than the Cubans from Rum Artesanal. It's nice, but nothing special either. It's not really convincing neat either."
Renegade
Top review from Galli33:
"This is my first ever rum from grenada! And this one is really special⊠I found some strange notes like medicinal, plastic, rubber, phenol, petrol reminds me on a Savanna HERR/Lontan, but itâs also a bit on the dirty side (i wouldnât say caroni like). Those notes are overwhelmig all the other notes like wood, oak, herbal, floral, sugarcane, a bit fruity (citrus?!). All in all itâs a special one, for sure, but a good one. The alcohol is integrated well and fits in perfect. Iâm still undecided, if I should order a bottle or not⊠đ€đŹ"

The empty glass has a nice herbal touch as well as light mint."
Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 32 C<>H
Top review from cigares :
"RumX Awards 2023 and re-tasted 6 months later. Despite its age, the esters are very present without dominating. Buttery, nicely acidic, lemony, overripe banana, grilled bacon and yellow fruit make up a nose that remains balanced despite its complexity. The attack is lively and explosive, with fat (butter) tempering the fire and fruit filling the mouth. Yellow fruit (pear and apple) and young wood. The finish is long, elegant and fresh. No flaws here, everything is clean and precise. The wood is perfectly integrated. The fruit remains right to the end. In the empty glass, you discover an unprecedented sweetness, with the wood clearly perceptible. The favorite rum of this top RumX selection."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"Bought three different RiviĂšre du Mat, produced in Reunion, during my drive down to Spain. This is the third and last I open, a traditionnel Rhum Vieux. Havenât found out the aging, but I estimate it to around 4 years. Overall a quite good rum thatâs definitely better than the Ambre and the Royal Reserve because of its deeper character and longer finish."

"#4243 08.09.2023 I got 6 secret samples from a friend as a blind tasting and that has been a lot of fun spread over two evenings. The price tag on this rum is very good compared to what you get. Fresh and fruity with nice cane and pretty good Agricole notes. The palate is almost oily and spictmy/warm and lightly dry. Medium to long finish. The empty glass is nice and has some orange and flower notes."

"Retasting this one changed the score, how the palate changes over time đ This is probably the best rum in the Zacapa range. Maybe a bit too expensive for a rum that isn't a limited version."
HSE ChĂąteau Marquis de Terme Finish
Top review from lukasdrinkinghabits:
"This is what a red wine finish should taste like! It is present without taking over the rum. Red fruits, berries and cherry remain from the nose to the finish. There are also spices (cumin, cloves) - and a hint of sulphur, which leaves a little salt in the mouth and finish. Despite the low alcohol content, a lot of flavor comes together in the mouth. Reminiscent of a very elegant 2008 Ten Cane. A little too little action, but I could drink this almost every day."

Top review from Mirko Frosini đźđȘ:
"At the second tasting I found myself surprised because I sensed new aromas on the palate. I was probably not at my best last time.A very pleasant rum with light barrel notes. Medium finish and albeit too low alcohol content. The low price plays in its favor. Cuban rums, and in Spanish in general, lack the courage to try stronger gradations."
SpĂ©cial Ădition ITP-15
Top review from RumTaTa:
"Second tasting: I reduce my rating by 4 points because the rum seems quite alcoholic despite the low alcohol content and because the gap in terms of aroma and intensity to the Velier bottlings is clear. The grilled overripe bananas jump out of the glass at me! There are also other tropical fruits and vanilla. Ripe banana and vanilla again in the mouth, very mild and oily. A peppery and salty note and barrel are added on the finish. Overall very harmonious and intense, top!"

"Very balanced classic agricole. Instantly likable in the nose. Pretty sweet and velvety in taste. Mineral. Some vegetal vs freshness. Grassy. Very easy in lots of aspects. But good easy. This is a very good spirit."

"#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."

"04.05.2024 Retasting during a nice exclusive tasting at Romdeluxe. I stick to my score and I still love it. -------------------------- This is a very nice interpretation of a Pere Labat and the flavours just come at you from opening the bottle. My favourite part is that they didn't lower the ABV. Leave the glass for the next day and nose it, amazing flavours still emanating from the glass. Price to quality is extremely good which is why I bought a backup bottle :-)"
NY Distillery (Special Edition for Corman Collins)
Top review from cigares :
"A nose of overripe banana, pear, mirabelle plum and light wood. The palate has a soft attack, then is immediately full-bodied. The freshness is astonishing, with noble vanilla rounding out the picture. The finish is quite long, with acidic fruit and light oak. The empty glass is a fine summary of this interesting, well-balanced rum."
Grande RĂ©serve - Vieilli 7 ans
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"It has clear similarities with the âCuvĂ©e Prestigeâ, but a little less intense. The nose is fruity and spicy with aromas of vanilla. At the palate itâs fruity, spicy, sweet and complex with flavors of licorice and vanilla. The finish is long and complex."

Top review from Stefan Persson:
"In summary itâs a rustic, dry, powerful, intense and balanced Agricole Blanc. Iâve also tested it in a Ti Punch and it was great. The nose is fruity, spicy and floral. On the palate itâs a little bit rustic and the aromas from the nose just explodes in the mouth."

Rumclub Private Selection Ed. 26 Agricole Rum F.W.I (Ex-Gardel Finish)
Top review from RumTaTa:
"Second tasting: after about an hour in the glass develop aromas of buckwheat honey, I like better than the first time ( 2). Nose: first I perceive typical Agricole aromas and walnut. Then spices wood and then dried fruit.Seeeevery mild, alcoholic sharpness is practically absent.Palate: the rum seems watery in the mouth at the beginning. But that changes surprisingly: the flavors take over and then the alcohol is also feltAftertaste: it remains mainly Agricole notes hang.From Gardelfass I notice nothing, but also do not know what I have to look for. Possibly the barrel is responsible for the toasty notes."

Top review from Zucker und Zeste:
"In der Nase wirkt das Ganze Ă€uĂerst entspannt: Es entfaltet sich ein Mix aus Frucht, viel Vanille, etwas Muskatnuss, Holz, BlĂŒten und gebranntem Zucker. Was fĂŒr eine Einladung, den Rum direkt zu probieren. Im Mund setzt sich dieser Eindruck fort. Angenehm wĂŒrzig, dezente Kokosnuss-Noten, viiiieel Vanille, ein wenig Salz, junges Holz (damit nicht sehr bitter) und Milchschokolade, Lakritz und Bitterorange. Schmeckt wie ein Mix aus intensivem Spanier und Foursquare mit Salz. Der Koloa Single Cask hat etwas Nussig-Cremiges, die Textur erinnert uns ein wenig an Erdnussbutter."

Top review from Jakob:
"Erstaunlich frische Nase fĂŒr das hohe Alter. Die Fruchtnoten rĂŒcken am Gaumen aber mit zunehmender LĂ€nge in den Hintergrund, dafĂŒr kommt eine schöne SĂŒsse und etwas mehr Holzeinschlag zum Vorschein - dabei kippt der Rum aber keinesfalls in zu bittere SphĂ€ren. Leider fehlt mir insgesamt aber ein wenig die aromatische Raffinesse, weshalb am Ende ein zwar sehr leckerer Rum im Glas bleibt, der sich aber nicht ganz in die absolute Topliga einreihen kann."
Cuvée des Alizés
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"A very smooth white agricultural rum. A lovely agricultural freshness perfumes the nostrils, with earthy, herbaceous and vegetal notes, accompanied by citrus fruits (lemon) that round out the angles. A hint of salt underscores the subtlety of the nose. The attack on the palate is ample, supple and pleasant. Citrus and dried fruit dominate the palate, leaving sugarcane and its vegetal notes more in the background. Round, fresh and very well structured. The finish, of decent length, is surprisingly warm, dry and slightly spicy. Vegetal and earthy flavors come back to the fore, in the face of citrus. A very fine cuvée that will delight all Ti Punch lovers."

CĆur de chauffe
Top review from Stefan Persson:
"This Saint James at ABV 60% made from cane juice is not distilled in an column still as most of their produced rum, instead itâs double distilled in copper pot stills. So because of that itâs an Agricole without being an AOC rum. It makes a good Ti Punch."
Guyana Single Cask MEC
Top review from Jakob:
"Nice, heavy demerara. Alcohol is cleanly integrated and the notes of wood, leather and spices are nicely balanced by light fruit notes. In direct comparison with other releases a bit too shy in expression, a little more spiciness would have suited the rum well - so the heavy sweet notes remain without significant counterpart. Given the quality of this heavy sweetness, this is undoubtedly grumbling at a high level; for an even better rating, however, lacks precisely at this point still some aromatic variety."

Top review from Kevin Sorensen đ©đ°:
"Enjoying this one right now while preparing for the big Whisky and Rum Event tomorrow. One of my favourite Damoiseau's because of the overall profile and very well integrated ABV. ------- I got this bottle a little over a month ago and I've sipped it a few times. It is now one of my favourite Agricoles. The nose has lots of wonderful spices mixed with fruit, wood and some leather. The Agricole is definitely there and some grassy notes The palate is elegant and complex with spices, chocolate and a sprinkle of banana. Dry warm Agricole in my mind, yummy. The finish is long and warm with orange, wood and vegetal notes. You should rest this nice rum for at least 15vminutes before giving it a go."

Top review from Stefan Persson:

2023 Limited Edition HERR
Top review from Thunderbird:
"The 2023 bottling is once again on top... for me it comes close to the Habiation Velier bottling. Not quite as present on the nose as this one, but almost on a par on the palate. I mixed a cocktail straight away (mojito) and had a real taste sensation. This is how the white HERR must be đ€© Edit: Tasted again in the Savanna Masterclass. My rating remains"

XO Quintessence
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Une bouteille aussi esthĂ©tique peut, dans certaines circonstances, faire office de cache-misĂšre pour le jus quâelle contient, et malheureusement cette cuvĂ©e tombe dans ce cas prĂ©cis. LâADN de Saint James est ici transparent et fait pĂąle figure. mĂȘme parmi la gamme permanente. Le nez est ce qui se rapproche le plus de lâesprit sombre typique de la distillerie avec des notes de chĂȘne, de cafĂ©, de vanille et de piment. Les abricots secs et les notes florales finalisent un profil doux, simple et assez rĂ©servĂ©. Lâattaque en bouche est mince et lĂ©gĂšre. Quelques notes vĂ©gĂ©tales et herbacĂ©es apportent de lâamertume, tandis que les raisins secs, les Ă©pices et le bois se confrontent au palais. Il nây a pas grand chose Ă dire dessus, si ce nâest que câest assez plat et plutĂŽt dĂ©cevant. La finale nâest pas trĂšs longue, elle rappelle les notes florales, les herbes, les fruits secs, la canne Ă sucre, les Ă©pices, les notes rĂŽties et le caramel mais elle ne brille pas plus que cela. Un rhum qui se veut joli dâapparence, mais qui nâa pas grand chose dans le fond hĂ©las."
Velier 70th Anniversary
Top review from Joachim Guger:
"A sample that I have been looking for for a long time. Grazie Mille!!! đ I let it breathe for 2 hours, smelling it every time is an experience. Beautiful lacquer and solvent, caramel and macaroons, but restrained by Neisson standards. Plenty of spices. Very powerful, yet round and the 58% is perfectly integrated. It is very complex. Sniff deep in, peripheral, let it rest, swirl, something new every time.đ Woody in the mouth (but not too much), spicy, caramel and macaroons. Long finish. The Neisson DNA is recognizable, but this one is not fine and elegant, but heavy and spicy. Absolutely đ, I like it better than its brother from 2005."

"Alkohol könnte etwas besser eingebunden sein. Hatte vor dem Kauf die BefĂŒrchtung, dass der Port zu dominant sein könnte. Dies hat sich zum GlĂŒck nicht bewarheitet und gibt dem Rum eine gute Note.

"Having another go at this one and I still stand by my score. A great warming Agricole that really kicks in the right doors. This rum has to rest for a while in order to settle or it will attack your nose and palate without mercy. A great Agricole with light fruits and spice to it. I like the fresh floral and grassy notes that comes at you, both the nose and palate. The ABV is very well integrated and hands a warm touch to your palate."

Cuvée Victor
Top review from TheRhumhoe:
"Pour un rhum de gamme permanente, ce Depaz a beaucoup de choses Ă offrir. Le nez se pare de notes vĂ©gĂ©tales et florales, avec notamment la canne Ă sucre, avant de laisser place aux arĂŽmes boisĂ©s, aux Ă©pices douces, aux piments et aux fruits secs. Câest Ă la fois simple, efficace et assez complet. Lâattaque en bouche est plus gourmande. Les Ă©pices (cannelle, vanille, poivre) se mĂȘlent aux noix, au chocolat noir, aux fruits secs et aux fruits exotiques pour un profil doux et bien construit. Bien quâon ne soit quâĂ 41% dâalcool, le rhum nâen reste pas moins expressif et trĂšs savoureux. La finale, dâune longueur convenable, nâest pas en reste non plus. Fruits secs, exotiques et confits, bois, Ă©pices, cuir, cafĂ© et notes vĂ©gĂ©tales se conjuguent pour laisser une derniĂšre impression trĂšs sympathique en bouche. Pour son positionnement, ce Depaz est une valeur sĂ»re qui en enchantera plus dâun, Ă un prix aussi doux que son profil."
