We did a blind test with 5 different roms, this rom was number 5.

Smells like vanilla, oak, and maybe a bit of light spice. Tastes like a light and balanced rum with maybe a hint of chocolate and dark fruit.

This is a great rum. It is just the right amount of sweetness, has layers of complexity, and has a smooth, long finish.

Nice amber color. I like to sip neat with a few drops of water. I allowed it to open up for 15 minutes. Smells sweet with caramel and vanilla present. On the palate there is some sweetness and theh nose follows through with its flavors. Very small sting that lets you know it is alcohol but not a negative. This is my current favorite although I have only tried El Dorado 12, Appleton Estate 12 Rare Casks, and Zacapa 23. I do not want added sugar (coloring not preferred but not a show stoppe). I am a sucker for a beautiful bottle.
I am coming from a bourbon neat background and prefer a sweet (but not overly sweet) and caramel profile. This journey will be fun!

I had been eager to try this one for a while but was difficult to find at a reasonable price. Most shops in my area had it marked for $70 and up. I finally stumbled upon a bottle for $44.99 and purchased it. Tasted out of a Glencairn snifter. On the nose it smells quite sweet with a cotton candy sort of vibe with a nice mix of spices and a bit of oak. Onto the taste, this one is a bit of a curveball, it doesn't taste nearly as sweet as it smells, it's more on the dry side with the spices really pronounced. Mouthfeel is medium.This isn't really for people who enjoy sweet rum like myself, but I do certainly appreciate it and is quite nice when I want something different. All in all this is a pretty nice rum.This isn't worth the $70+ I've been seeing it for as of late however. If you can find it under $50 I say go for it. I rate it 7.5

This is one of those rums that I can grab and sip on without thinking.

Nice dark golden color. Smooth on the tongue. Not that burn some rums have. Not too sweet. I added a small piece of ice and let it sit a few minutes. Truly a good rum and should be on your shelf.
Very very very good rum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Full-bodied, delicate on the nose, smooth, natural sweet, AND for that price? PERFECT

A great tasting rum, could almost mistake it for a whiskey, punchy but smooth flavours.

Jedná se o rum s poněkud drsnější chutí stejně jako Mount Gay Black Barrel. Ovšem tím veškerá podobnost končí. Vůně, chuť i závěr jsou v případě XO o mnoho lepší.
