An approachable Guatemalan column still sipper with marked sherry influence. RumX members mention caramel, vanilla, honey, grapes/raisins and gentle oak. Very smooth at 40% and newcomer‑friendly, often enjoyed neat or on ice.

Trevlig rom med bra balans. Bra pris.
Review by crazyforgoodbooze
Mir persönlich viel zu viel Sherry Einfluss der den Rum komplett dominiert und ihn Recht anstrengend sauer, bitter und süß macht... Kein Wunder nach 16 Monate finish in oloroso & px Fässern! Muss nicht sein...
Review by René Müller
Nice Would, tobacco and leather.
Review by Jonas Kofod
Funny how its super sweet yet burns on the tongue. Very nice mix of wood/spice and dried tropical fruits. Very accessible and easy yet with flavour. There is a certain element of freshness which is normally not there in Spanish style aged rums.
Review by Robert Houba
Lehce ostřejší, tóny dřeva, ovoce, mírně sladší konec
Review by Rumpalumpa
Schöner Rum. An der Nase fallen Zimt PX Sherry auf. Am Gaumen schöne Holzaromen. Angenehme Süße. Im Abgang bleiben Zimt, Honig und Rosinen. Finde ich toll, aber mehr Prozente wären bei dem Preis super
Review by X-Savior
On The Rocks: One the nose it has a sweetness with vanilla and spices. Taste reveals a smooth strong sweetness with vanilla air spice followed with a slight burn. There are also some fruit and floral notes. In the finish the sweetness continues but the spice fades away quickly. This is an enjoyable sipper that is nicely balanced. Mixed Pepsi Zero: One the nose it has a very mild sweetness. Taste has a very smooth but mild honey sweetness with some slight underlying spice with charred oak. Mixed it washes out the rum, suggest only as a sipper at this price point.

Sweet and pleasant taste, almost nutty with a touch of honey, it is persistent and extremely delicate

Retasting at Romdeluxe. Had a relaxing online tasting yesterday and it had a vide spread between low and high end rums. A very well balanced rum. Price to quality is very good.

Plutot bon quand même !!
Review by TheRhumhoe
Un profil qui n’est pas très convaincant. Le nez est très liquoreux, avec beaucoup de notes de raisins et d’influence du fût de sherry. La noix de coco, le sucre brûlé, le caramel et la vanille n’arrangent rien quant au taux de diabète. En bouche, c’est un rhum assez contraste qui s’offre à nous : léger dans les arômes, mais plutôt dense en termes de texture. Le sherry va de pair avec les raisins. On retrouve aussi le caramel, un côté vanillé et pimenté ainsi qu’un léger boisé. Rien de révolutionnaire dans tout cela. La finale est un peu plus vive et longue qu’espérée, attisée par l’amertume, le poivre, la résine et le sucre brûlé. Là où le Gran Reserva de Rum Nation avait un peu de caractère avec ses notes florales, ce XO célèbre plutôt mal le 20ème anniversaire de son embouteilleur, en passant totalement dans l’oubli et les méandres des rhums hispaniques.
