Review by WiltChamberlain
Meanwhile, it is too thin for me.
Review by Pavel Spacek
9,1 points? Why? The demerara wood, molases and leather taste is there. Mild taste. But too much sugar IMHO
Review by Michal S
A bit weak, maybe OK for the beginning of the evening, but I would have expected more in aroma and taste.

I'm Oliver, and RumX began in 2018 as a small passion project in Stuttgart, back then under the name Rum Tasting Notes.
What began as my digital tasting diary is now the world's most comprehensive platform for rum fans, today carried by a small team with Jakob, Lukas and Katharina, with Robert supporting us as a freelancer. We combine the collective intelligence of our community with an integrated marketplace, so you can choose with confidence, without paperwork, detours, or expert jargon.
